April's book is Solito by Javier Zamora

A memoir by Javier Zamora recounts the author’s perilous, nine-week solo journey at age nine from El Salvador to the United States to reunite with his parents, detailing the harrowing experiences of boat trips, desert treks, and encounters with strangers who became a found family, all while navigating the challenges of migration from a child’s perspective. Published in 2022, the book is praised for its authentic voice, blending English and Spanish, and for humanizing the migrant experience beyond political talking points.
