(3) K-3 Illustrated by Joe Cepeda. When José's undocumented mother is abruptly sent back to Mexico from San Diego, his father takes him across the border to visit her in Tijuana. The story, presented in both English and Spanish, sensitively reflects life for many immigrant kids. The text is a bit wordy, but Cepeda's illustrations, which focus on the loving family, will help keep readers engaged.
