This "heartbreaking ... powerful work" ( School Library Journal)
introduces the contemporary issue of forced disappearances to
readers 10 and up-with "deceptively simple black line drawings" and
"unsentimental bilingual text" ( Kirkus). By a closed door, a child
waits for his uncle, who is coming to stay. As he waits, he
imagines all the fun things they'll do when he arrives: his uncle
can teach him how to block a penalty shot and the boy can show him
how well he is doing in school. But his uncle never arrives. Page
by page, the boy grows older sitting in the same position, waiting
to show his uncle his degree, his son, and eventually, his
granddaughter. And still, his uncle does not come. A bilingual
edition, with both Spanish and English text,My Uncle Is Coming
Tomorrow is dedicated to the forcibly disappeared who were never
able to come home, and depicts the devastating impact on their
loved ones who are left behind. An excellent resource for learning
about the history of forced disappearances, this gentle but
effective book includes an afterword that explains the act of
"disappearing people": how it developed over the course of the
twentieth century as a tool of political terror, and how people
continue to be disappeared today. An Aldana Libros Book, Greystone
