Yenebi's Drive to School

"Every morning, I'm up at four o'clock. I brush my teeth, get dressed, and drag my sister Melanie to the car where Mami's waiting for us. ¡Se nos va hacer tarde! ¡Apurarse! For the next two hours, we'll be in the car driving — past tamale vendors (my favorite part), through la linea (my least favorite part), and across the US border. That's how we get to school every day. This is our normal. ¡Vamos!"

In a winning, sunny voice in a bright, friendly palette, debut author-illustrator Sendy Santamaria tells the story of one girl's commute — a commute Sendy herself made growing up as an American citizen living in Mexico. Perfect for fans of Dreamers, Yenebi's Drive to School is a vibrant story that puts a whole new spin on one loving family's morning drive to school.

Description

"Mami’s love is palpable in her words of encouragement and the way she provides for the children along the way. Yenebi’s observations of the wares — tamales, wallets, cellphone charges — that vendors sell along the roadway to the passing cars bring the trip to vivid life. These youthful impressions contrast with Mami’s unspoken desire to provide the children with educational opportunities in the United States and the lengths to which she’ll go to make it happen.... A going-to-school story elevated by a mother’s devotion and a child’s dedication." — Kirkus Reviews
