In this bilingual picture book, cousins from opposite sides of the border visit each other' s towns and delight in their similarities and differences. Two cousins live in two towns, separated by a river. But there is also a bigger divide-the US-Mexico border-which means they live in different countries. On the girl' s side, English is the main language, and on the boy' s it' s Spanish. The cousins love their towns, and they love visiting each other' s, where they notice some things are the same and some are wonderfully different, adding up to a vibrant world full of even more possibilities. Author Nicholas Solis shows how border towns are special places, beautiful and dynamic, because two cultures can be better than one-and both cultures should be equally treasured and respected.
