My Two Border Towns

Recommended Ages: 4-8

Written by David Bowles. Illustrated by Erika Meza.

This is the heartwarming story of a young boy who lives on the Mexican-American border and looks forward to weekends spent exploring "The Other Side" with his dad. Together, they visit family and friends in a town that closely resembles their own, but their journey is about more than just reconnecting; they also bring along supplies and special items for those in need. This beautiful narrative highlights the boy's ability to think beyond himself, emphasizing that caring for the community is just as vital as caring for one’s own needs. It's a wonderful book that encourages kids to consider the importance of compassion, generosity, and the impact of thoughtful actions and good deeds.
