Undocumented: A Worker's Fight by Duncan Tonatiuh

4.0

This children’s book is readable in a short half-hour and it pulls no punches in taking on the issue of advocacy and support for undocumented immigrants. As usual, Tonatiuh’s illustration artistry is stunning and beautiful, and the physical design of the book to read in the style of the ancient Mesoamerican codices format is a really nice touch. If you want your children to have a good exposure to the unvarnished reality of the difficulties on undocumented workers and their resistance to exploitation, this is a good primer. It’s not a fluffy feel-good thing, and is unabashedly political and aligned in favor of the undocumented workers in the U.S.; but it’s one of the few child-appropriate outreach efforts to tackle this topic. Very highly recommended.
