Today, every child in the US has the right to a free public education. But that wasn’t always the case.
Free to Learn tells the story of the Lopez family who courageously went to court to make sure that Alfredo—and all children—could go to school, whether or not they are documented.
Here’s what reviewers say about Free to Learn:
⭐️ “…effortlessly conveys Alfredo’s longing to be at school and his parents’ desperate hope for a better life.” Booklist, starred review
• “A tribute to a courageous family of undocumented immigrants who went to court to secure their child’s right to a free public education.” Kirkus Reviews
And, be sure to check out the “warm illustrations” (thanks, Kirkus!) by Mirelle Ortega!
