(2) 4-6 Serafina lives in modern rural Haiti. Food is scarce, and her mother is pregnant again. Serafina longs to attend school and become a doctor like Antoinette Solaine, who tried unsuccessfully to save Serafina's baby brother, Pierre. Woven into the spare first-person free-verse poems is the history of Haiti and Serafina's family. Rich details of everyday life add texture to this emotional, fast-moving tale. Glos.
