In this Spanish edition of the first album illustrated by a DACA beneficiary - a "dreamer" - Areli Morales narrates her recent history as an immigrant.
In the abuela's house - in the mountains of Mexico - the holidays are where we have friends and lots of soil. Areli era buena jugando al escondite y aún mejor persiguiendo gallinas. When Areli was alone with a baby, her mother and her father moved to New York with her husband -Alex- in the bus of a better life for her family. When Areli entered pre-school, she was enviaron alguien by her.
Everything in New York was ferente: large, rapid and noisy. Areli casi no hablaba englés y sus compañeros la cusaban de ser illegal. After that, Areli slowly became a neo-orquina. . . aún sin ser ciudadana estadounidense. -Aquí podría hacer lo que sisiera -Areli le dijo un día al cielo citadino-. Algún día lo lograré.
It is a conmovedora historia - that evokes the millions of immigrants that its integral part of our country - of a child who lives in the world, a child who asks for DACA to be eventually approved and that ahora vive el sueño americano.
In the first picture book written by a DACA dreamer Areli Morales tells her own powerful and vibrant immigration story in this Spanish translation companion book.
When Areli was just a baby, her mama and papa moved from Mexico to New York with her brother, Alex, to make a better life for the family--and when she was in kindergarten, they sent for her, too.
Everything in New York was different. Gone were the Saturdays at Abuela's house, filled with cousins and sunshine. Instead, things were busy and fast and noisy. Areli's limited English came out wrong, and schoolmates accused her of being illegal. But time passed, and Areli slowly became a New Yorker--although not an American citizen. “I could do anything here,” Areli says one day to the city sky. “Someday, I will.”
This is a moving story--one that resonates with millions of immigrants who make up the fabric of our country--about one girl living in two worlds, a girl whose DACA application was eventually approved and who is now living her American dream.
