Domenzain, Alejandra

Alejandra Domenzain grew up in Mexico and the United States. She has been an advocate for immigrant workers for more than 25 years, and also worked as an elementary school teacher. Currently, she is dedicated to improving workplace health and safety for low-wage workers. Illustrated, bilingual, and written in musical rhyme, For All/ Para Todos (Hard Ball Press) is her first children’s book. A collaboration with illustrator Katherine Loh, it tells the story of Flor. She and her dad make a dangerous journey from their poor country to a land called For All/Para Todos. But there her father works long hours picking fruit in the fields for little pay and soon learns that immigrants are not welcome. As Flor grows up, she learns that her story, like the story of so many migrants, needs to be told.
