Amidst the characters’ uphill battles, the narrative is imbued with both humor and heartwarming moments.

SUMMARY Sofía, Rosa, and Antonio are high school seniors who are very different from one another. But they form a special bond when they discover that all three are undocumented minors. Their friendship gets them through when their lives take unexpected turns and together they accept who they are, join the DREAMers movement, and start fighting for their rights.
With about 680 unique words, it tells a 8,300-word story. There is an illustration for every chapter and A full glossary is included at the end of the book.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: All the characters in SOÑADORES are fictional, but I used my real life experience and the experiences of my immigrant friends to write this novella. One of my goals is to use storytelling to humanize conversations about immigrants.
