Eight Days: A Story of Haiti

In this tribute to Haiti and her children, the author imagines the dreams of a young boy trapped beneath the rubble for eight days, as he remembers the many places around Port-au-Prince where he has played and laughed and spent time with his family. In this way, Danticat captures the joy and beauty of Haiti before the earthquake, as well as her people's spirit and determination to survive. Vibrant illustrations by Alix Delinois bring this inspiring tale to life.
