About this item
Author-illustrator Erika Meza delivers a stunning and emotionally rich book from the viewpoint of those most impacted by border walls: young refugee children. This powerfully told tale highlights the spirit and strength of those embarking on a dangerous trek, and what awaits them on the other side.My sister tells me the rules of the game are simple.Avoid the monsters. Don't get caught. And keep moving.If the monsters catch you, you're out.A young boy and his older sister have left home to play a game. To win, they must travel across endless lands together and make it to the finish line. Each child imagines what might be waiting for them across the border: A spotted dog? Ice cream! Or maybe a new school.But the journey is difficult, and the monsters are realer than they imagined.
About the Author
Mexican wondering Author and Illustrator based in Nottingham. Born in Morelia in 1986 (google the town: it's gorgeous and full of monarch butterflies!) , I arrived in Paris in 2012 to pursue a life full of colour, characters, stories and pastries. At the time, I worked fueled by coffee in a yellow apartment carefully supervised by a glutton dalmatian who'd wait patiently to drag me out into the park so he could be petted and admired. I now have a blue cat and live in Nottingham, UK. More info in http://www.erikameza.comFeel free to say hello, hola or bonjour on Twitter or Instagram: @ErikaDraws
