Plt;bPgt;In the first picture book written by a DACA Dreamer, Areli Morales tells her own powerful and vibrant immigration story.Plt;/bPgt;Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;When Areli was just a baby, her mama and papa moved from Mexico to New York with her brother, Alex, to make a better life for the family--and when she was in kindergarten, they sent for her, too.Plt;brPgt; Plt;brPgt;Everything in New York was different. Gone were the Saturdays at AbuelaP#8217;s house, filled with cousins and sunshine. Instead, things were busy and fast and noisy. AreliP#8217;s limited English came out wrong, and schoolmates accused her of being illegal. But with time, America became her home. And she saw it as a land of opportunity, where millions of immigrants who came before her paved their own paths.
