From North to South is a story of a young boy that misses his mother. Originally from Mexico, Jose’s mother was deported to Tijuana for not having the proper documents to remain in the United States. In this short children’s book, Jose and his father travel to Mexico to visit his mother. Although his mother is not able to return to the US until she has the proper documents, they manage to have a pleasant visit to Mexico and pray for her return to the states. This heartbreaking story reflects the real life situation of families being separated because of immigration issues. The text is written in Spanish and English.
