Between Us and Abuela: A Family Story from the Border (The "Between" Books)

by Mitali Perkins

Description

When a family’s journey brings them to the border, a young narrator and her abuela share stories that stitch together memory, language, and love. Through tender, everyday moments—alongside the uncertainty of travel and the hope of belonging—the book explores what it means to be “between” places, cultures, and generations. Mitali Perkins weaves a lyrical, accessible narrative that highlights family bonds, resilience, and the power of storytelling to carry people through change. With its warm voice and emotionally grounded perspective, this family story invites readers to consider how heritage shapes identity and how home can be both a place and a promise.
