A Family Story from the Border

By Mitali Perkins Pictures by Sara Palacios
It is almost time for Christmas, and Maria is taking a long journey with her mother and little brother, Juan. They are traveling all the way to the border fence between California and Mexico to celebrate Las Posadas with their beloved grandmother. For a few precious minutes, the family shares stories and laughter through the iron slats of the tall fence, enjoying the holiday spirit despite the barrier between them. When Juan tries to give his grandmother a special Christmas gift, he realizes it is just too big to fit through the heavy fence. Maria refuses to give up and quickly comes up with a brilliant, soaring idea to deliver the present over the wall. You will be deeply moved by this beautiful story about how the miracle of family love can easily overcome any border.
