Growing up undocumented in the United States, Areli Morales didn t come across many children s books that addressed or helped make sense of her experience. So she wrote her own. Areli Is a Dreamer: A True Story, illustrated by Luisa Uribe (Random House Studio, out June 8), depicts the author s early childhood in Puebla, Mexico, where she was born, and in New York City, where she grew up.
Morales, a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient – a program put in place by former president Barack Obama – shares her story to equip young readers with the necessary language to unpack and understand what people like her have gone through and to help readers going through a similar experience feel seen.
