In Under the Royal Palms, Alma Flor Ada explores her own heritage in a series of stories about her childhood in Cuba. Her reminiscences offer readers a glimpse into the experiences that helped shape who she is today, from her invaluable friendship with a dance teacher during a particularly miserable year, to the close bonds of her loving family. Under the Royal Palms encourages children to discover the stories in their own lives and to see the joys and struggles we all share no matter where or when we grew up. | Under The Royal Palms by Alma Flor Ada, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
