My Uncle is Coming Tomorrow by Sebastián Santana Camargo - OPTIONAL

My Uncle is Coming Tomorrow
by Sebastián Santana Camargo, translated by Elisa Amado
. PICTURE BOOK Greystone, 2022. $17. 9781778400063 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - NO, HS - OPTIONAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW 

A child is told his uncle is coming to visit and he waits, his whole life. 

My Uncle is Coming Tomorrow is more about the afterward than the picture book. *Spoiler* the uncle never arrives because he is one of the "disappeared" from the Cold War or organized crime. The illustrations are simple line drawings. I think the subject matter is more appropriate for an older audience, maybe a high school class talking about political terror.
