This is such an illuminating interview. It absolutely reminds me of the short essay written by Valeria Luiselli called "Tell Me How It Ends" as she recalls the 40 questions she asked as a translator to migrant children when they arrive in the US without their parents. She volunteered to do this emotional and labor intensive work to better pair up the children with lawyers. I'm looking forward to other parts of this series. Bravo!

Thank you for this enlightening interview. I just checked out this beautiful children’s book that’s slightly related, Between Us and Abuela: A Family Story from the Border by Mitali Perkins and Sara Palacios.
