The Book of Rosy: A Mother's Story of Separation at the Border by Rosayra Pablo Cruz, Julie Schwietert Collazo

5.0

At 255 pages this took me a day and a half to read, but will remain with me for a lifetime. This book is a view of our current history, chronicling the first person experience of a migrant woman traveling with her children from Guatemala to the United states, only to be detained after the "Zero Tolerance" policy was enacted by the US Government. It's a reminder that we can and should be more compassionate to things we don't understand and are afraid of, and every small thing we can contribute to someone else's safety should be done.
