Espero que te gusta esta, nuestra cancion. Las palabras que escribiste son fantasticas.
I wrote two books about the migrant experience, and have talked to mothers who had to leave their children behind. It is so devastating to both the child and the mother. I thought this child might benefit from hearing what his/her mother is probably thinking. We will submit another version soon - in Spanish.
I do not speak Spanish so I hope that I do not sound to funny. Thanks for letting me do this. Billy
