BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3),  EL - OPTIONAL,  MS - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Juan tells his story as a undocumented immigrant, from crossing the border to finding work and eventually working with a worker's center to improve conditions for others. 

I didn't like the accordian-fold design - as a librarian, this is problematic. However, I loved the topic, the text and the subject. Tonatiuh has captured the plight of undocumented workers so well. With his unique mixed media illustrations and simple text, Undocumented is a great introduction to the labor movement for middle school and upper elementary.
