Un s bado por la ma ana, un ni o se prepara para un viaje al Otro Lado / the Other Side. Est cerca, solo bajando la calle y pasando su escuela, el pueblo gemelo de la comunidad donde vive. Su padre maneja su camioneta sobre un puente para cruzar el R o Grande y llegar a M xico, donde son recibidos por la estatua gigante de un guila. Sus visitas siempre incluyen almuerzo en su restaurante favorito, una pl tica en la joyer a del t o Mateo, una paleta bien fr a, y una vuelta a la farmacia. En su parada final y m s importante, pasan tiempo con amigos que buscan asilo y les entregan los suministros que tanto necesitan.

Mis dos pueblos fronterizos de David Bowles, con ilustraciones de Erika Meza, es la cari osa historia del ritual semanal de un padre y su hijo, una demostraci n de atenci n comunitaria y un homenaje a la fluidez, complejidad y vitalidad de la vida en la frontera entre Estados Unidos y M xico.

Early one Saturday morning, a boy prepares for a trip to The Other Side/El Otro Lado. It's close-just down the street from his school-and it's a twin of where he lives. To get there, his father drives their truck along the Rio Grande and over a bridge, where they're greeted by a giant statue of an eagle. Their outings always include a meal at their favorite restaurant, a visit with T o Mateo at his jewelry store, a cold treat from the paletero, and a pharmacy pickup. On their final and most important stop, they check in with friends seeking asylum and drop off much-needed supplies.

My Two Border Towns by David Bowles, with stunning watercolor illustrations by Erika Meza, is the loving story of a father and son's weekend ritual, a demonstration of community care, and a tribute to the fluidity, complexity, and vibrancy of life on the U.S.-Mexico border.
