"Before, the sun drenched the yard. Our neighbor's laughter danced in the streets. Now, the streets are quiet. Papa is gone, and we are no longer safe here. We are leaving, too. In this moving and stunningly-illustrated picture book, Noemi and Mama flee their home in Mexico, and head for the US border. There, they look for The Notebook Keeper-- the person in charge of a ledger for those waiting to cross, and they add their names to the book. As the days turn into weeks, and hope dwindles, the little girl looks for kindness around her-- and inside herself. One day, when the Notebook Keeper's own name is called to cross, Noemi and her Mama are chosen--for the generosity in their hearts-- to take her place."--Provided by publisher.

Summary

Una edición en español de LA GUARDIANA DE LA LIBRETA, la historia inspiradora de una mamá y su hija que han sido negadas entrada en la frontera estadounidense y tienen que conseguir una refugiada a cargo de «la libreta», un registro no oficial de todos aquellos que esperan a cruzar hacia los Estados Unidos.

Antes, el sol bañaba el patio. Las rizas de los vecinos danzaban por las calles. Ahora, solo hay silencio. Papá se ha ido, y ya no estamos seguras aquí. Nosotras nos vamos también.

En este libro impactante y bellamente ilustrado, Noemí y su mamá huyen de su hogar en México y viajan hacia la frontera de los Estados Unidos. Ahí, buscan «la guardiana de la libreta», una refugiada que escribe los nombres de las familias que buscan asilo, y añaden sus nombres a la lista. Mientras los días pasan a ser semanas, y la esperanza se desvanece, la niña busca la bondad alrededor de ella, y dentro de sí misma. Un día, cuando el nombre de «la guardiana de la libreta» es llamado para cruzar, Noemí y su mamá —por la generosidad de sus corazones— son elegidas a tomar su lugar.
