Pick pick pick. The only times I put this book down was to sleep and go to my workout class. Think this book is too old to be relevant? Think again. It's more timely than ever. Thompson tells the story of his friends he meets while working for housing justice, and the challenges that both documented and undocumented Mexicans face. They also travel to Mexico in the second half to get the perspective of family members living there.

Ruby says "Must you use me as a prop for book photos?"

About to start this one tonight. It's an older one that I grabbed on a whim at the library. I think it'll still be quite relevant, though, and it's my #readharder immigration narrative book.

EllieDottie Such a cute kitty, even if she's a little over getting her picture taken! 😸 7y
