Her new book is A School Lunch Revolution. Plus: The Republicans call it ‘illegal immigration’: Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Sonia Nazario recounts the journey of a 16-year-old Honduran boy who fought immense obstacles and dangers to reach his mother in the US, who he hadn’t seen since he was five.
