Xenia Navarro and the Magic Ants by Lois Wickstrom and Milagros Darling – Review by Rayne East

Xenia Navarro and the Magic Ants by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Multilayered children’s story
A different book from this author but still has the educational creatively that one has come to expect. Xenia Navarro and the Magic Ants is a chapter story book that tells the story of Xenia whose mother is arrested and facing deportation. The story has some fantasy, lots of emotion intermingled with family drama and the reality of a controversial situation. As always this author handles this with sensitivity and presents the writing in a way that can be shared with children of all ages. Recommend.
