A review by midnightverde
Solito by Javier Zamora

challenging emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

This was such a special book. Reading Javier’s experience of crossing the border was moving. I have children, including a 9 year old, so it was especially powerful to think about what it would feel like as a parent and how horrifying it must have been for his family. There are a lot of negative opinions about immigration and border crossings and I wish that more people were reading memoirs and learning about the history that has created this issue in the first place.
