The Boy from Mexico Becomes a Us Citizen (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781684817597)

In 2023, 878,500 individuals immigrated to the United States. 105,420 of them were from Mexico, making it the leading country of naturalizations. Many of these people are children who struggle to find relatable and positive stories like the ones provided by The Boy From Mexico Becomes a U.S. Citizen.

This book continues the story of Luz, the character of Edward Dennis's The Boy From Mexico Becomes a Farm Worker and The Boy From Mexico: An Immigration Story. In The Boy From Mexico Becomes a U.S. Citizen, Luz tells the story of gaining US citizenship and the emotions involved in this difficult process.

Edward Dennis is a leading advocate for immigrants coming to the US from Central and South America. His work as an author and illustrator supports children and offers guidance to families and children who are coming to the US. Edward has also worked with organizations that support farm workers in the US, including UFW Foundation. As a Mexican American and Indigenous person, Edward finds it extremely important to tell stories that highlight his people.
