Created with a combination of techniques, including hand-embroidered lettering, painting, sketching, digital paintings with textures from photographs of the Sonoran Desert, this book is full of beauty. It explores the borderlands—the plants, animals, and insects that make their home in the desert, and the people who live and travel through this unique and beautiful part of the world.

In a world full of uncertainty, this story seeks to offer reassurance and courage. The last inspiring spread is of young families facing their future with determination and hope.
