Summary

Una niña se adapta a su nueva vida en el Bronx después de que su familia huye de Cuba en 1960 en este «exuberante, evocador» (School Library Journal) libro para niños, ahora disponible en español.

Cuando a los seis años de edad, Gabriella escucha que los adultos hablan de algo llamado “una revolución” en su Cuba natal, no entiende lo que eso significa. Poco después, todo cambia cuando de repente sus padres se van del país, y ella se queda con sus abuelos. Pronto llega el día en el que se va a vivir con sus padres a un lugar llamado el Bronx. Su vida ahí es diferente —el clima es frío, los edificios son altísimos, y todos hablan inglés—. ¿Qué hará falta para que ella sienta que el Bronx es su hogar?

«El arte de Raúl Colón… tiene una dulzura que a veces se tiñe de ansiedad, a veces de esperanza. Una buena adición a los libros sobre la experiencia inmigrante». —Booklist
«Esta suave mirada a un momento importante en el pasado también les hablará a los niños de hoy cuyas familias comienzan una nueva vida en Estados Unidos». —Publishers Weekly
