To be undocumented, to be America's shadow, can be the worst thing any youth or adolescent can experience. In some cases, undocumented immigrant youth will only know that they are undocumented once it is time to apply for jobs, a driver's license, or college applications because to apply means to possess a valid social security number.


The term 'Dreamer' is now claimed by the undocumented youth population. It redefines the experience of immigrant youth and validates their existence as an individual experience. Dreamer Paradise aims to tell that experience and serves as a closer look into Quiroz's life, from being denied entry at the DMV to wanting acceptance as an American citizen; and, at the same time, holding their Mexican queer identity close to their existence. Quiroz does not hold back and urges anyone who reads to listen.


Quiroz, David: - David Quiroz, his brother Carlos, and his mother traveled to the United States from Michoacán, Mexico, in 1995. After several years in the United States, he was enrolled in the charter school system known today as Vaughn Next Century Learning Center. He is a product of the afterschool program system, The Boys and Girls Club of San Fernando Valley, and later completed his bachelor's degree at California State University, Northridge. After obtaining a bachelor's in English subject matter, David began teaching in 2019, pursuing a master's degree in English with an emphasis on creative writing. He has served as a public-school middle school instructor, teaching seventh-grade English at PUC Nueva Esperanza Charter Academy for five years. As an undocumented first-generation American and first-generation college graduate, David was reenergized after each political battle against undocumented people. Upon receiving DACA, David utilized every opportunity afforded to him. Dreamer Paradise, his first book, tells the story of one dreamer, as the DACA/immigrant experience is not universal.
