Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review“Remarkable…The artwork is deliberately evocative of Mesoamerican logography, with figures and perspectives that feel at once bizarre and totally familiar.” -- Vulture
“Undocumented, featuring multi-award winning author/illustrator Tonatiuh's (The Princess and the Warrior) vibrant, stylized illustrations, is an all-too-real discussion about fair pay and the hostility U.S. citizens often display toward undocumented immigrants.” -- Shelf Awareness
“By focusing on the narrative of one immigrant worker, Tonatiuh breaks the mammoth issues of immigration and workers rights into an easy-to-swallow bite, allowing the reader to easily engage with an often intimidating topic. The personal is again political. Highly recommended.” -- Kirkus
"Multiple Pura Belpré Medal and Honor–awarded Tonatiuh (Diego Rivera, 2011) channels his interest in the Mixtec codex format to create a superb modern odyssey, stupendously illustrated in his signature contemporary adaptation of pre-Columbian art forms, presented on accordion pages in a handsome slip-case." -- Booklist online
“Although Juan is a fictional character, the story is a very real one: many undocumented workers are mistreated by employers, but are too afraid to speak up.“ -- GeekDad
“The book gives eloquent voice to the millions of undocumented people who come here with dreams of helping their families and work hard, contributing so much to this country.” -- Booklist online
