Reviews

Based on historical fact and written with Puerto Rican idioms, this story of how a young girl and her grandmother help a runaway slave is an entertaining yet powerful tale, a discussion starter, and an educational tool. The illustrations reflect the exuberant colors of the Caribbean. Also published by Ekar? in Caracas. Available in English.
