Text in Spanish.;Translation of: My two border towns. "A boy and his father cross the United States-Mexico border every other Saturday, visiting their favorite places, spending time with family and friends, and sharing in the responsibility of community care"--Provided by publisher.

From the publisher:
A Spanish-language edition of My Two Border Towns, a picture book debut by award-winning author David Bowles. Un sabado por la manana, un nino se prepara para un viaje al Otro Lado / the Other Side. Esta cerca, solo bajando la calle y pasando su escuela, el pueblo gemelo de la comunidad donde vive. Su padre maneja su camioneta sobre un puente para cruzar el Rio Grande y llegar a Mexico, donde son recibidos por la estatua gigante de un aguila. Sus visitas siempre incluyen almuerzo en su restaurante favorito, una platica en la joyeria del tio Mateo, una paleta bien fria, y una vuelta a la farmacia. En su parada final y mas importante, pasan tiempo con amigos que buscan asilo y les entregan los suministros que tanto necesitan. Mis dos pueblos fronterizos de David Bowles, con ilustraciones de Erika Meza, es la carinosa historia del ritual semanal de un padre y su hijo, una demostracion de atencion comunitaria y un homenaje a la fluidez, complejidad y vitalidad de la vida en la frontera entre Estados Unidos y Mexico. Early one Saturday morning, a boy prepares for a trip to The Other Side/El Otro Lado. It's close-just down the street from his school-and it's a twin of where he lives. To get there, his father drives their truck along the Rio Grande and over a bridge, where they're greeted by a giant statue of an eagle. Their outings always include a meal at their favorite restaurant, a visit with Tio Mateo at his jewelry store, a cold treat from the paletero, and a pharmacy pickup. On their final and most important stop, they check in with friends seeking asylum and drop off much-needed supplies. My Two Border Towns by David Bowles, with stunning watercolor illustrations by Erika Meza, is the loving story of a father and son's weekend ritual, a demonstration of community care, and a tribute to the fluidity, complexity, and vibrancy of life on the U.S.-Mexico border.
