BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW
Two latino siblings live in a border town in the southwestern desert and they go exploring beyond the town wall into the endless desert and heat.
Both a love letter to the desert biome and an exploration of interplay between the elements and the people who live in it, I ended up really liking this picture book. It has an odd sort of charm. It’s just strange enough that I wouldn’t use it for teaching about the desert, but might find a place when discussing poetry, even though it’s not quite a poem either.
