A Spanish-language edition of My Two Border Towns, a picture book debut by award-winning author David Bowles. Un sbado por la maana, un nio se prepara para un viaje al Otro Lado / the Other Side. Est cerca, solo bajando la calle y pasando su escuela, el pueblo gemelo de la comunidad donde vive. Su padre maneja su camioneta sobre un puente para cruzar el Ro Grande y llegar a Mxico, donde son recibidos por la estatua gigante de un guila. Sus visitas siempre incluyen almuerzo en su restaurante favorito, una pltica en la joyera del to Mateo, una paleta bien fra, y una vuelta a la farmacia. En su parada final y ms importante, pasan tiempo con amigos que buscan asilo y les entregan los suministros que tanto necesitan. Mis dos pueblos fronterizos de David Bowles, con ilustraciones de Erika Meza, es la cariosa historia del ritual semanal de un padre y su hijo, una demostracin de atencin comunitaria y un homenaje a la fluidez, complejidad y vitalidad de la vida en la frontera entre Estados Unidos y Mxico. Early one Saturday morning, a boy prepares for a trip to The Other Side/El Otro Lado. It's close-just down the street from his school-and it's a twin of where he lives. To get there, his father drives their truck along the Rio Grande and over a bridge, where they're greeted by a giant statue of an eagle. Their outings always include a meal at their favorite restaurant, a visit with To Mateo at his jewelry store, a cold treat from the paletero, and a pharmacy pickup. On their final and most important stop, they check in with friends seeking asylum and drop off much-needed supplies. My Two Border Towns by David Bowles, with stunning watercolor illustrations by Erika Meza, is the loving story of a father and son's weekend ritual, a demonstration of community care, and a tribute to the fluidity, complexity, and vibrancy of life on the U.S.-Mexico border.
