Facing Fear by Karen Lynn Williams

4.0

Great picture book about the real fear many undocumented families face. Although Enrique was born in the US, his parents were not. So when his soccer team makes the playoffs, he's not allowed to go because they would be passing through a checkpoint. This would be a great addition to any study on immigration and immigrant stories. There are some abrupt tonal shifts and it ties up a bit too sweet in the end, but I think the book as a whole is still a worthwhile read.
