The Notebook KeeperBy: Stephen Briseo Illustrator: Magdalena Mora Based on true events, this inspiring story follows a mama and her daughter who are denied entry at the U. S. border, and must find the refugee in charge of the notebook, an unofficial ledger of those waiting to cross into the U. S. Before, the sun drenched the yard. Our neighbor's laughter danced in the streets. Now, the streets are quiet. Papa is gone, and we are no longer safe here. We are leaving, too.
