Island Treasures: Growing Up in Cuba [SCM]
by Alma Flor Ada Author
A collection of stories from the author's childhood in Cuba during the 1940s and 50s. Originally published as three separate books, this edition combines them all into one volume. The stories are often heartwarming and encourage readers to discover the stories in their own lives—both the joys and the struggles.
