About this Event

Join us at Mrs. Dalloway's Bookstore on Sunday, June 18th at 2:00 PM when author-illustrator Sendy Santamaria comes to present her debut picture book at her launch event for Yenebi's Drive to School, a vibrant story that puts a whole new spin on one family's morning drive to school.

"A trip to school takes on new meaning with the addition of a border crossing". --Kirkus, starred review

to preorder a copy of Yenebi's Drive to School.

Every morning, I'm up at four o'clock.

I brush my teeth, get dressed, and drag my sister Melanie to the car where Mami's waiting for us.

¡Se nos va hacer tarde! ¡Apurarse!

For the next two hours, we'll be in the car driving—past tamale vendors (my favorite part), through la linea (my least favorite part), and across the US border. That's how we get to school every day. This is our normal. ¡Vamos!

In a winning, sunny voice in a bright, friendly palette, debut author-illustrator Sendy Santamaria tells the story of one girl's commute—a commute Sendy herself made growing up as an American citizen living in Mexico. Yenebi's Drive to School takes readers on a trip to school that many will recognize as very similar to their own.

SENDY SANTAMARIA is an Oakland-based Xicana author and illustrator. She received her BFA in Illustration from California College of the Arts. She grew up along both sides of the border between San Diego and Tijuana and spent a lot of time daydreaming on the San Diego Blue Line trolley. Her work celebrates everyday narratives and Chicanx culture. She is inspired by migration, perseverance, pigeons and love.
