Hear My Voice/Escucha Mi Voz
The moving stories of children in migration–in their own words.
In Spanish and in English, a devastating first-person account of children’s experiences in detention at the southern U.S. border…. A powerful, critical document only made more heartbreaking in picture-book form. –Kirkus Reviews starred review
Every day, children in migration are detained at the US-Mexico border. They are scared, alone, and their lives are in limbo. Hear My Voice/Escucha mi voz shares the stories of 61 these children, from Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Ecuador, and Mexico, ranging in age from five to seventeen–in their own words from actual sworn testimonies. Befitting the spirit of the project, the book is in English on one side; then flip it over, and there’s a complete Spanish version.
Illustrated by 17 Latinx artists, including Caldecott Medalist and multiple Pura Belpre Illustrator Award-winning Yuyi Morales and Pura Belpre Illustrator Award-winning Ra l the Third. Includes information, questions, and action points. Buying this book benefits Project Amplify, an organization that supports children in migration.
