Friday afternoon Panel: \u201cCrossing Borders: What It Means in the Life of a Child,\u201d with keynote author Reyna Grande<\/strong><\/p>\n

This panel will focus on the memoir The Distance Between Us<\/em>, featuring Reyna Grande reading sections from her work, with comments by community educators and University of Oregon faculty.<\/p>\n

\"the-distance-between-us\"<\/a>Reyna Grande\u2019s novels, Across a Hundred Mountains<\/em> and Dancing with Butterflies<\/em>, were published to critical acclaim and have been read widely in schools across the country. In her memoir The Distance Between U<\/em>s (Atria Books, 2012), Grande writes about her life before and after her undocumented border crossing as a young child from Mexico to the United States. A National Book Circle Critics Award finalist, this book was hailed by Los Angeles Times<\/em>\u00a0reviewer Hector Tobar<\/a> as \u201cthe Angela\u2019s Ashes<\/em> of the modern Mexican immigrant experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
