What to expect
I brush my teeth, get dressed, and drag my sister, Melanie, to the car, where
Mami’s waiting for us.
¡Se nos va a hacer tarde!
For the next couple of hours, we’ll be in the car, driving—past tamale vendors (my
favorite part), through la línea (my least favorite part), and across the US border.
That’s how we get to school every day. This is our normal. ¡Vamos!
In a winning voice, debut author-illustrator Sendy Santamaria tells the story of a
girl’s commute, a commute Sendy herself made growing up as an American citizen
living in Mexico. Yenebi’s Drive to School takes readers on a trip to school that
many will recognize as very similar to their own.
