"By a closed door, a child waits for his uncle, who is coming to stay. As he waits, he imagines all the fun things they'll do when he arrives: his uncle can teach him how to block a penalty shot and the boy can show him how well he is doing in school. But his uncle never arrives. Page by page, the boy grows older sitting in the same position, waiting to show his uncle his degree, his son, and eventually, his granddaughter. And still, his uncle does not come. With short, impactful text, My Uncle Is Coming Tomorrow is dedicated to the forcibly disappeared who were never able to come home, and depicts the devastating impact on their loved ones who are left behind. An excellent resource for learning about the history of forced disappearances, this gentle but effective book includes an afterword that explains the act of "disappearing people": how it developed over the course of the twentieth century as a tool of political terror, and how people continue to be disappeared today."-- Provided by publisher.

"Junto a una puerta cerrada, un niño espera a su tío, que viene para quedarse. Mientras espera, imagina todas las cosas divertidas que harán cuando él llegue: su tío puede enseñarle a bloquear un tiro penal y el niño puede mostrarle lo bien que le está yendo en la escuela. Pero su tío nunca llega. Página a página, el niño crece sentado en la misma posición, esperando mostrar su título a su tío, a su hijo y, finalmente, a su nieta. Y aún así, su tío no viene. Con un texto breve e impactante, My Uncle Is Coming Tomorrow está dedicado a los desaparecidos por la fuerza que nunca pudieron volver a casa, y describe el impacto devastador en sus seres queridos que se quedan atrás. Un excelente recurso para aprender sobre la historia de las desapariciones forzadas, este libro suave pero efectivo incluye un epílogo que explica el acto de "desaparecer personas": cómo se desarrolló a lo largo del siglo XX como una herramienta de terror político y cómo las personas siguen desaparecidos hoy."-- Editor
