Between Us and Abuela: A Family Story from the Border

Between Us and Abuela: A Family Story from the Border

Written by Mitali Perkins

Ages 4–7

María and her family connect with Abuela across a border wall, feeling the happiness of being together and the pain of being kept apart.

Why We Love It

A story that holds joy and grief together without overlooking the barrier between them. Its hope and kindness invite children to care about families separated by political borders.

Things to Know

The hopeful ending does not reflect every family’s experience. The author’s note explains Las Posadas and La Posada Sin Fronteras.
