I got the chance to interview Aida Salazar about her middle grade novel-in-verse about a girl from a family of migrant workers in 1965 who join the protest for better working conditions. It's a beautifully written book and you won't regret picking it up!

'Land of the Cranes' Review
Land of the Cranes
By Aida Salazar
Genre: middle grade, realistic fiction, poetry
Content warnings: ICE, discrimination against migrants, racism, severe sickness, hunger, abuse of minors, forced family separation, rape, death
Description: “Nine-year-old Betita knows she is a crane. Papi has told her the story, even before her family fled to Los Angeles to seek refuge from cartel wars in Mexico. The Aztecs came from a place called Aztlan, what is now the Southwest US, called the land of the cranes. They left Aztlan to establish their great city in the center of the universe-Tenochtitlan, modern-day Mexico City. It was prophesized that their people would one day return to live among the cranes in their promised land. Papi tells Betita that they are cranes that have come home.
Then one day, Betita's beloved father is arrested by Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) and deported to Mexico. Betita and her pregnant mother are left behind on their own, but soon they too are detained and must learn to survive in a family detention camp outside of Los Angeles. Even in cruel and inhumane conditions, Betita finds heart in her own poetry and in the community she and her mother find in the camp. The voices of her fellow asylum seekers fly above the hatred keeping them caged, but each day threatens to tear them down lower than they ever thought they could be. Will Betita and her family ever be whole again?”
There are a lot of horrors in this world and the United States’ abuse of undocumented migrants is definitely one of them. Aida Salazar’s middle grade novel in verse Land of the Cranes takes on this horror, not through the eyes of an adult, but through the young, sensitive perspective of a nine-year-old. Through Betita’s narration, readers witness the atrocities Betita, her mother, and the migrants she meets endure in a brutal detention center. This is a hard book to read, but it is even harder to be the one experiencing this abuse firsthand.
What I enjoyed:
-Salazar’s poetry is powerful. Each poem captures the voice of a young girl enduring trauma so realistically. You can really feel Betita’s fear, confusion, and anger and the imagery in the poems are incredibly strong. This is a very emotional book and Salazar’s simple, but poignant word choices capture these emotions well.
-The way Salazar tackles serious topics such as rape, deportation, family separation, death, and more is done so skillfully. This is a book for children, but that does not mean children need to be shielded from the horrible things that happen in real life. The fact we see all these things through the eyes of young Betita emphasizes the horror of these atrocities while also giving a character readers can relate to as Betita, like anyone, is more than just her trauma. She is a girl who likes to draw, is close to her father, and is kind to her friends. Salazar discusses trauma in such a human way. The horrors that occur aren’t in the narrative to scare readers, but to show what really happens in these detention centers and the very real effects they can have on the people who are forced to endure them.
-I also liked Salazar’s discussion of activism and how social media hashtag activism isn’t always enough. While hashtags aren’t entirely meaningless, they still can’t always bring about change and especially not the systematic changes that are needed. While this novel discusses systemic issues, it’s more about the effects of systemic discrimination rather than the solutions to negating them. This makes sense as this novel is told from the perspective of a young girl who, due to the restraints American society has forced on her, cannot do much to create change (also, it’s shouldn’t be her job to fix these issues). Still, I love how we do see resistance among the characters even when things feel hopeless.
-The ending was done very well. With such a serious topic, I was worried the book would end on an inauthentic happy note that just wouldn’t fit with the realistic tone the novel possesses. [SPOILER ALERT] Salazar does an incredible job ending the book, not on a hopeful note, yet not on an overly depressing one either. Not every story has to have a happy ending, but not every story has to have a sad ending either. Land of the Cranes finds this balance between happiness and sadness and ends in a way that shows realistically what may happen while also still leaving some warmth for its readers, however feeble it may feel. [END SPOILER ALERT]
-The drawings in the book are wonderful. They illustrate the emotions conveyed in the poems well and are simply fun to look at. They are little rays of hope in a dark story and it makes sense as drawing is where Betita is able to find some relief.
What I thought could be better:
-Not that much. There really isn’t anything major I have to complain about in this novel. I really appreciated how Salazar humanized her characters, so it doesn’t feel like she is placing detained migrants’ trauma on display just for the sake of shock value. So much care is put into the words, drawings, and plot.
Land of the Cranes is an emotional, powerful read that I definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fictional novel that humanizes the experiences of undocumented migrants and motivates readers to action.

Author Spotlight: Aida Salazar
What are your literary influences?
My literary influences come from disparate sources. I studied a wide variety of theory in college and graduate school — everyone from Roland Barthes to Judith Butler to Gloria Anzaldua and Cherrie Moraga to Bell Hooks to Mikail Baktin to Subcomandante Marcos. I also read poetry voraciously including everyone from Waslowa Simbroska to Lorna Dee Cervantes, Audre Lorde, Rumi, Wole Soyinka, Juan Felipe Herrera. I was marveled by the fiction of Milan Kundera, Arundati Roy, Elena Poniatowska and all of the Latin American magical realists – Asturias, Garcia Marquez, Allende, Esquivel. But also, American writers such as Alice Walker, Toni Morrison, James Baldwin, Helena Maria Viramontes, Ana Castillo, Julia Alvarez and Christina Garcia. I was drawn to authors from the margin almost exclusively. In a sense, I created my own canon in this way.
It wasn’t until I became a mother that I truly started reading children’s literature. My children and I found an oasis in our weekly visits to the library. In Oakland, we are fortunate to have a comprehensive Spanish language collection at the Cesar Chavez Library and we often checked out the forty-book limit! However, many of the books were authored by non Latinx writers and were translated into Spanish. While these books served to reinforce the Spanish language in our family, I saw the huge lack of writings from Latinx creators. I wanted to be a part of filling that gap. I wanted for my children to not only see their language reflected in books but their cultures and their sensibilities. That is why I always praise the work of those Latinx authors who forged the way so that new Latinx kidlit authors could have a seat at the table. We stand on the shoulders of giants and I would be remiss if I didn’t mention their work. Authors such as Pura Belpre, Gary Soto, Sandra Cisneros, Alma Flor Ada, Pat Mora, Carmen Lomas Garza, Francisco X. Alarcon, Juan Felipe Herrera, and Victor Martinez really set the stage for us to be able to tell our stories to young audiences too.
What was the first book you read where you identified with one of the characters?
As a young child, I didn’t understand that I was missing in the narratives of books that I read. I loved Judy Blume. I loved Shell Silverstein. I loved Encyclopedia Brown and Choose Your Own Adventure books. I connected to those books by default, in a similar way that I connected to mass media that also didn’t include me in their blond-haired blue-eyed middle-class, English-only narratives. There was no other option. It wasn’t until I was eighteen and in college that I enrolled in a Latino (we called it that back then) literature course that I saw myself reflected in a book. I remember reading the short story “My Lucy Friend That Smells Like Corn,” in Sandra Cisneros’ Woman Hollering Creek and feeling a moment that I can only describe as grace. I realized that I had been missing in almost everything I had read up until that point. My experiences were alive and validated in that story. It was exhilarating.
Did that experience lead you to want to write books for readers with diverse backgrounds?
I was so inspired by reading all of the books in that Latino literature class. It was an awakening not only to the world of Latinx literature but to the possibility that I too could be a writer. I had been writing poetry and stories since I was a young teenager but those writings remained in my notebooks and journals. After reading their work, I began to take myself seriously and began to understand the writing that lived in my heart could be something I could aspire to do as a living someday. However, my awakening is one that should have not taken eighteen years and I want to be part of making sure that doesn’t happen to other children.
Your characters in The Moon Within have interesting intersections. Could you speak to why this was important to build into your book?
I did this intentionally. My children are multi-racial and bi-cultural like two of the characters, Celi and Iván. It is not uncommon to see many different mixed children in the San Francisco Bay Area where we live. I find it beautiful how they navigate multiple cultures – sometimes with a sense of wonder and pride and sometimes with neglect or shame and every feeling in between. It’s complicated and certainly isn’t always seamless given so much discussion over racial and cultural purity that is happening today. Through those characters, I wanted to show this negotiation, how they deal with these fusions. I wanted to show readers what it might look like for someone to celebrate and embrace all of who they are. Similarly, I wanted to show with the gender fluid character, Marco, the intersectionality of his identity as a gender fluid Mexican that happens to be in love with playing bomba (a Afro-Puertorican form of music). It was important to show readers that we could be queer and Mexican, Black Puerto Rican Mexican, and Black and Mexican. The range of identities are part of the beauty of who they are, and serve to strengthen and not weaken them.
Music infuses the whole world of The Moon Within …can you speak a little on that, a little on what role music plays in your own life?
Ironically, I am not a musician though I have a good ear and I love to dance. I am married to a musician and there has not been one day in the eighteen years since we’ve been together when we did not engage in some way with music – listening, playing, singing, dancing or just being in a house filled with instruments and an extraordinary recorded music collection. Our children were naturally born into this environment and took to music right away. I realized that this was a unique experience and that it could be a wonderful world to explore in this book. I wanted to normalize music and the arts as a way of life but also, wanted to inspire readers to seek out the arts as a way to find agency as the children in the book did through traditional music and dance. These are superpowers that unfortunately, with the cutting of the arts for decades now, we don’t have access to as much.
I made a playlist on Spotify that includes all of the styles of music that inspired The Moon Within – bomba, indigenous Mexican music, Caribbean music, and lots of moon related songs in Spanish and in English. It can be found here: https://spoti.fi/2FSnZgM . I hope that you enjoy it!

Review #49 - Land of Cranes
Review #49 – Land of Cranes
Wow, that last review took a while to write. I don’t think I ever went so long writing a review. Oh, wait, I have, I started those and forgot about them to complete them a few years later. At least my first review of 2021 did not take years to write, but a week. I am hoping that this one will go a bit faster.
The book that I want to talk about today is Land of Cranes by Aida Salazar. This book…
