Overview
Emmy Awardā and Pulitzer Prizeāwinning journalist Maria Hinojosa has created a brand-new, unique version of her adult memoir, which was an NPR Best Book of 2020, for young readers, blending her story with perspectives on history in the vein of Jason Reynoldsās Stamped.
āThere is no such thing as an illegal human being.ā
Maria Hinojosa is an Emmy Awardāwinning journalist, a bestselling author, and was the first Latina to found a national independent nonprofit newsroom in the United States. But before all that, she was a girl with big hair and even bigger dreams. Born in Mexico and raised in the vibrant neighborhood of Hyde Park, Chicago, Maria was always looking for ways to better understand the world around herāand where she fit into it.
Here, she combines stories from her life, beginning with her familyās harrowing experience of immigration, with truths about the United Statesās long and complicated relationship with the people who cross its borders, by choice or by force. Funny, frank, and thought-provoking, Mariaās voice is one you will want to listen to again and again.
