    Esther and the Revolution: Book Cover

    Esther and the Revolution

    Written by Ray Sobrino Jr.

    Ages 8-12 | 48 Pages

    Publisher: Xlibris US (2019) | ISBN-13: ‎ 9781984574404

    What to Expect: War, family, history, immigration

    Esther is a young mother who loves to sew and loves her children. After her husband leaves her, she decides to leave war-torn Mexico to seek a new life for herself and her family in the United States. Along the way, she will face many dangers – from the militia and revolutionaries, from poverty and hunger, and simply because she is a woman traveling on a dangerous route. However, on her journey, she will meet some remarkable people – people whose strength, love, and faith will help her find her way.

    For many immigrants, the journey from one life to another is filled with both hope and fear, especially if they are refugees from war and civil unrest. Esther and the Revolution brings one such historical migration event to life through the eyes of a strong young woman whose struggles and hopes are easy to relate to and empathize with. Real-world photographs punctuate the text and help ground the story in history. Offering a blend of historical facts and story-telling, this narrative is both educational and engaging.

    Overall, Esther and the Revolution offers a fascinating insight into immigration, as well as a Mexican culture rich in history and tradition.
