Meet the animals that call the US-Mexico borderlands home in this vibrant picture book from nonfiction star Alexander Vidal that illuminates creatures not divided by their opposites but connected by the one amazing habitat they call home.

Welcome to la frontera, the borderlands. This incredible place where two countries meet is filled with high mountain peaks, deep desert canyons, lush grasslands, and verdant wetlands. An amazing array of animals calls this landscape home, from big (grande) bison to pequeño (small) prairie dogs, plain (sencillo) pumas to estampado (patterned) jaguars, smooth (suave) beavers to afilado (sharp) porcupines.

With gorgeous illustrations, English and Spanish text, and fascinating information about the creatures who live in the borderlands, this book shows how nature is united, not divided, by diversity and celebrates difference and connection in a shared landscape.
