Sometimes by Hugo Ibarra and illustrated by Katia
Lara is a book for 4-8 grade students this book is about a family immigrating
to the U.S. and based on first-hand stories. Sometimes follows the journey of
Andres and his sister, Clara as they immigrate from Mexico to the United
States. They see many strange sights for the first the boarder filled with cars
a strange U.S. town and wonder why they had to leave their mother behind. As
Andres starts at a new school he received encouragement from a beloved teacher
buoying his hopes until he and his sister are finally reunited with their
mother.
My Opinion: This book tells like it is for kid’s
migration to the U.S. from another country and it has been happening for years.
It is a good read for those who want to understand more about how scary it is to come from another country to the USA and I hope someday they
have a book of a person immigrating from the U.S. to another country like China
or Germany as you never hear about those experiences.
