My Uncle is Coming Tomorrow by Sebastián Santana Camargo, translated by Elisa Amado. PICTURE BOOK Greystone, 2022. $17. 9781778400063 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - NO, HS - OPTIONAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW 

A child is told his uncle is coming to visit and he waits. 

My Uncle is Coming Tomorrow is more about the afterward than the picture book. The illustrations are simple line drawings. I think the subject matter is more appropriate for an older audience, maybe a high school class talking about political terror. 

*Spoiler* the uncle never arrives because he is one of the "disappeared" from the Cold War or organized crime.
