The moving stories of children in migration —in their own words. "In Spanish and in English, a devastating first-person account of children’s experiences in detention at the southern U.S. border.... A powerful, critical document only made more heartbreaking in picture-book form." — Kirkus Reviews  starred review Every day, children in migration are detained at the US-Mexico border. They are scared, alone, and their lives are in limbo. Hear My Voice/Escucha mi voz  shares the stories of 61 these children, from Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Ecuador, and Mexico, ranging in age from five to seventeen—in their own words from actual sworn testimonies. Befitting the spirit of the project, the book is in English on one side; then flip it over, and there's a complete Spanish version. Illustrated by 17 Latinx artists, including Caldecott Medalist and multiple Pura Belpré Illustrator Award-winning Yuyi Morales and Pura Belpré Illustrator Award-winning Raὺl the Third. Includes information, questions, and action points. Buying this book benefits Project Amplify , an organization that supports children in migration.   Gr 1–5—If you haven't given much thought to the children in the camps at the U.S. border, Binford is about to get your attention. She gave 61 children from Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Ecuador, and Mexico a chance to talk about their torturous conditions, their dreams, and their lives, shown in striking but brutal illustrations by 17 Latinx artists, including Yuyi Morales and Raúl the Third. There is no privacy for using the toilet. The food is welcome for fighting off pangs of hunger, but it is all but inedible. Siblings are separated. Reading like a tone poem or a moan for help, the spare text asks readers to fill in the details. VERDICT Listen to the children, who have no political gain. This is a book readers cannot ignore, and which belongs on every shelf.—Kimberly Olson Fakih "In Spanish and in English, a devastating first-person account of children’s experiences in detention at the southern U.S. border....
