For fans of Duncan Tonatiuh and Yuyi Morales' Dreamers, a one-of-a-kind book about one immigrant family's journey north, in the vein of an ancient codex and drawing upon Mesoamerican mythology. 
  
We, the Vargas Ramírez family, come from a faraway place north of Tenochtitlan called Iztapalapa, Land of Clay Upon Water. A land surrounded by cars and dry grass; a place where the pieces of our small world were scattered. For some time we lived there, but then one day my father heard a beautiful birdsong that rose up and appeared to say tihui, tihui, tihui: let’s go, let’s go, let’s go. And so we gathered up our friends who made up that small world and decided to head north, for the other side, and a better life.  
  
Together the Boy and his family will journey from the Land of the Frogs to The Place Where Feet Cry to the River Where the Waters Tangle, fleeing Gunmen and braving Coyotes and plunging darknesses as black as an obsidian forest. Originally published in Mexico, Pilgrim Codex (Códice peregrino) captures through the eyes of a child one family's part in the ever-changing and fleeting story of the brave migrant warriors who search for a better place to live. 
  
★ "Together, word and image work richly together to describe a suspenseful journey of 'many things, terrible and magnificent.'"—Publishers Weekly (starred)

A warm, comforting bedtime story that invites readers to peek under the roofs of a diverse group of kids, celebrating family and home. 
A sprinkle of starlight and beams from the moon 
whisper to families that bedtime is soon. 
If you lifted up shingles or peeked in each home, 
What might you find on your starry night roam? 
Under one roof, a family gets ready for bedtime together, while under another, folks are thinking of someone who can’t be there. Some families sleep under unfamiliar roofs, on a faraway trip or taking shelter from a storm, while others are cozy at home or even camping out under the stars. This soothing, lyrical book wraps readers in a moonlit hug while showing how love transcends distance, and that we’re still all together under the same sky. For fans of An Invisible String or anyone looking for a calming, reassuring read, this gentle story is perfect for bedtimes everywhere.
