Children feature centrally in the ubiquitous narratives of 'migration crises'. They are often depicted as essentially vulnerable and in need of special protections, or suspiciously adult-like and a threat to national borders. At the same time, many voices, experiences, and stories are rarely heard, especially about children on the move within the global South. This bilingual book, written in English and Spanish, challenges simplistic narratives to enrich perspectives and understanding. Drawing on collaborations between young (im)migrants, researchers, artists and activists, this collection asks new questions about how crises are produced, mobility is controlled, and childhood is conceptualised. Answers to these questions have profound implications for resources, infrastructures, and relationships of care. Authors offer insights from diverse global contexts, painting a rich and insightful tapestry about childhood (im)mobility. They stress that children are more than recipients of care and that the crises they face are multiple and stratifying, with long historical roots. Readers are invited to understand migration as an act of concern and love, and to attend to how the solidarities between citizens and 'others', adults and children, and between children, are understood and forged.La ninez ocupa un lugar central en las narrativas omnipresentes de las "e;crisis migratorias"e;. A menudo esta es representada como esencialmente vulnerable y necesitada de proteccion especial, como sospechosamente parecida a los adultos, o como una amenaza para las fronteras nacionales. Al mismo tiempo, existen muchas voces, experiencias e historias que rara vez son escuchadas, especialmente aquellas que hablan sobre las infancias en movimiento dentro del Sur global. 'Este libro bilingue, escrito en ingles y espanol, desafia las narrativas simplistas para enriquecer nuestra perspectivas y comprension. Basada en colaboraciones entre jovenes (in)migrantes, investigadores, artistas y activistas, esta coleccion plantea nuevas preguntas sobre como se producen las crisis, como se controla la movilidad y como se conceptualiza a la infancia y la ninez. Las respuestas a estas preguntas tienen profundas implicaciones para la distribucion de recursos, la infraestructura y las practicas de cuidado. Las y los autores ofrecen perspectivas que surgen de diversos contextos globales, construyendo un rico y detallado tapiz sobre la (in)movilidad infantil. Destacan que ninas y ninos son mucho mas que simples receptores de cuidados y que las crisis que enfrentan son multiples y estratificadas, con profundas raices historicas. Se invita a las/os lectoras/es a entender la migracion como un acto de concientizacion y amor, y a poner atencion en como se entienden y forjan las solidaridades entre ciudadanos y aquellos que son percibidos como "e;otros"e;; entre adultos y ninas/os, y entre las/os ninas/os mismas/os.
