A short picture book story about a deer living with their mother in a borderland desert. With colorful scenery of flora and fauna. It is a familiar experience with a loving beginning and ending. ( )

You are a bright star. Always will be my bright star. A book that talks about looking at the bright side of everything in the world that will always make those days that are hard a little better.

This story is great translingual story that discusses a very difficult issue: immigration and borders. It is similar to mañanaland, but it is more accessible to young readers. I loved the use of stitching to portray some of the themes and I think it would be amazing to incorporate this into my teaching supplies.

Summary: The picture book is an artwork itself for display the beauties in the wild lives and plants of the Sonoran Desert. The fawn is used to represent a young girl who is bound to endless potentials in front of her.
