Pancho Rabbit and the Coyote by Duncan Tonatiuh

Pancho Rabbit and the Coyote by Duncan Tonatiuh

A picture book allegory about the dangers facing illegal immigrants who cross the border to look for work and the hardships on the families left behind

** STARRED REVIEW **
"Tonatiuh’s great strength is in the textNo word is wasted, as each emotion is clearly and poignantly expressed. The rabbits’ future is unknown, but their love and faith in each other sustains them through it all. Accessible for young readers, who may be drawn to it as they would a classic fable; perfect for mature readers and the classroom, where its layers of truth and meaning can be peeled back to be examined and discussed. An incandescent, humane and terribly necessary addition to the immigrant-story shelf."

STARRED REVIEW

"In both prose and art, Tonatiuh expertly balances folkloric elements with stark, modern realities; Pancho Rabbit's trip has the feel of a classic fable or fairy tale, with the untrustworthy coyote demanding more and more of him."

* Publishers Weekly *
The book shows the fragility of making a living, the desperation that many migrants experience, and the deep family ties that bind the characters. Classrooms studying the migrant experience will find plenty to discuss here. * School Library Journal *
“This will spark strong responses and needed discussion.” * Booklist *
Tonatiuh is so careful in weaving his allegory that his empathetic contemporary tale feels like age-old folklore, with simple but compelling text and a step-by-step escalation of the story through gripping, kid-understandable challenges. * The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books *
