Under the Royal Palms: A Childhood in Cuba

88 pp. | Atheneum | November, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-689-80631-0 $$15.00
(3) 4-6 Black-and-white snapshots illustrate this companion to Where the Flame Trees Bloom. Stories and remembrances--some gentle, some sad or humorous--flesh out the author's childhood in a small Cuban town and demonstrate the importance of family, friends, neighbors, and teachers to a young girl. An epilogue urges readers to recognize the stories around and within themselves.
