From Pura Belpré Honoree and Emmy-award winning actor Sonia Manzano--best known as "Maria" from Sesame Street--comes the expansive and timeless story of four children who must carve out a path for themselves in the wake of Fidel Castro's rise to power.
Fifteen-time
Emmy Award winner and Pura Belpre honoree Sonia Manzano examines the impact of
the 1959 Cuban Revolution on four children from very different walks of life.
In the wake of a new regime in Cuba, Ana, Miguel, Zulema, and Juan learn to
find a place for themselves in a world forever changed. In a tumultuous moment
of history, we see the lasting effects of a revolution in Havana, the
countryside, Miami, and New York. Through these snapshot stories, we are
reminded that regardless of any tumultuous times, we are all forever connected
in our humanity.
