Thank you @DiegoLuna_ for making the case for how #immigrants have made America Great! And for highlighting the critical work of @supportkind.org. Kids In Need of Defense has helped thousands of #migrant#children who have arrived to these shores alone. https://t.co/BpoNO03UUv
Since 2019, 600,000 #unaccompanied#migrant children have been apprehended at our border. What traumas have these kids endured? What are the dozen things educators can do to ensure these students can thrive in their classrooms? @csuci

I want to thank any friends who have helped the nonprofit @supportKIND over the years. There are about 140,000 #migrant children who arrive alone at our borders each year. We help them find free lawyers for immigration proceedings-and much more. We give them kindness, safety.
So Cal Friends: I am speaking @CSULB on Thursday night. 52% of California’s K-12 students are #Latine. There has been huge progress getting them enrolled college. But a big and growing number don’t graduate. Come hear why and what can be done about it.

Today as President Biden announces big restrictions on people seeking safety at our border, I am grateful that so many have chosen to put themselves in the shoes of #migrants and try to understand. Enrique’s Journey –the paperback alone--just went into it’s 47th printing.
SoCal friends with kids: I and a dozen other #authors/illustrators are speaking this Saturday 10a-1p in Lancaster, CA at a Read Across America Community Book Festival. The event strives to create and celebrate diverse readers.See some California poppies on the way!
