Winner of the 2018 Pura Belpre Award "A book for anyone mending from childhood wounds."--Sandra Cisneros, author of The House on Mango Street In this unforgettable multicultural coming-of-age narrative--based on the author's childhood in the 1960s--a young Cuban-Jewish immigrant girl is adjusting to her new life in New York City when her American dream is suddenly derailed. Ruthie's plight will intrigue readers, and her powerful story of strength and resilience, full of color, light, and poignancy, will stay with them for a long time. Ruthie Mizrahi and her family recently emigrated from Castro's Cuba to New York City. Just when she's finally beginning to gain confidence in her mastery of English--and enjoying her reign as her neighborhood's hopscotch queen--a horrific car accident leaves her in a body cast and confined her to her bed for a long recovery. As Ruthie's world shrinks because of her inability to move, her powers of observation and her heart grow larger and she comes to understand how fragile life is, how vulnerable we all are as human beings, and how friends, neighbors, and the power of the arts can sweeten even the worst of times.Binding Type: Hardcover

Excellent room divider
Color: Black, Size: 8 Panel
I have three of these from this company! 2 of them are 6 panel and one 8 panel (this one). A+ quality and wonderful with privacy. I have this on my screened in balcony and it withstands the wind pretty well. Fits right behind my giant plant pots. No assembly needed and it was long enough to cover the entire screened area. No more nosy neighbors! Great for
Condos! Woohoo!

Great Divider
Comes assembled. It is heavy, but fairly easy to move and use. I’m 5’4, 110 and I can do it myself. It’s thick, it’s tall, it looks good, not sloppy or cheap. Doesn’t smell. Great room divider. We use it for our office between our desks.
