The story arises out of a situation at the San Ysidro border crossing in Tijuana during the Trump administration, Briseño said. Though no one seems sure how the system originated, a person on the Mexican side of the border kept a ledger listing names of asylum seekers, who would receive a number and have to wait indefinitely for their names to be called.
After being inspired by a former student and his daughter to create his own picture book, Briseño said he’d found his subject through the “notebook keeper” and the story of a young girl’s migrant experience. In his book, Noemi and Mama are eventually met with an act of life-transforming kindness that bears out Mama’s words to her young daughter, “Have faith, mi vida.
In addition to national authors such as Barnett, Pulitzer Prize-winner Margo Jefferson, thriller writer David Baldacci, and recording artist/actor/author Janelle Monáe, the 10th version of the San Antonio Book Festival offers a plenitude of local authors.
