My Family Divided: One Girl's Journey of Home, Loss, and Hope by Diane Guerrero, Erica Moroz
5.0
This book is an important, inspiring kid's adaptation of Diane Guerrero's memoir on growing up with undocumented parents. It also deals with depression and cutting, as Guerrero goes through some dark days after her parents and brother are deported without warning when she is a teenager. Having to be her own parent in a lot of ways closed off her access to vulnerability, emotional growth, and trust in others. I love the way she both explains deportation and immigration issues to kids and details ways kids can learn more on the topic and become active in their communities. Highly recommended for kids, middle grade, and young adult readers!
