This is a picture book unlike any other. Playful and packed with drama and delight, it tells the story through two main characters—a pair of cat brothers that lose their mother—of a journey to the Mexican desert as they face life on their own, in a context riddled with violence and the struggle for survival. A gruelling journey lies ahead, paved with love, sorrow, corruption, friendship, and music. This is a cleverly told story filled with rhymes and puns, and a very moving tribute to national hero Emiliano Zapata as well. It’s also a deeply psychological tale of loss, uncertainty, sacrifice, and faith. The author develops the story with an eye set on a truly distressing and tragic border relationship—the one between the United States and Mexico.
