Tía Fortuna's New Home: A Jewish Cuban… de Ruth Behar
4/5
This book is about a girl named Ruthie adjusting to immigration, starting a new school and just navigating life after being in a car accident that left her in a body cast for a year. This book is really good at showing resilience. This book is targeted towards intermediate grade levels.
On the eve of WWII, Esther describes her journey from Poland to Cuba, where everything from the people to the climate are foreign to her. A heartwarming and satisfying immigrant narrative that brings a lesser known Jewish community to light. (Sydney Taylor Middle Grade Notable Book)
Estrella’s Tia Fortuna is about to leave another home. Having emigrated from Cuba to Miami years before, she is now entering an assisted living facility. Tia Fortuna’s loving memories comfort Estrella and show her that difficult changes can be accepted with grace. Colorful illustrations include Sephardic imagery. (Sydney Taylor Picture Book Notable)
