Books + Libros: From North to South {Giveaway}
Immigration is such a difficult subject to breach even among children. Imagine, then, having to talk about it with children. While I can’t lie and claim that my children—who are way too young to understand any of this anyway—are directly affected by our nation’s policy on immigration, as an immigrant myself, it would be a mistake not to start introducing some of the issues as they get a little bit older.

One week before my daughter and I left on our trip to El Salvador, my husband and I realized that if I was taking the laptop with me, we’d have no way to talk via Skype video since his computer doesn’t have a camera.
