About This Book
Rosa, a freed slave and healer, secretly turns hidden caves into hospitals for the wounded during Cuba’s long struggle for independence from Spain. Through verse told from multiple perspectives, Margarita Engle weaves together stories of ordinary people caught in extraordinary times. Published as a bilingual English and Spanish edition, this 2009 Newbery Honor book brings an overlooked chapter of history to life for young readers.
