The Notebook Keeper A Story of Kindness from the Border

Before, the sun drenched the yard. Our neighbour'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.
