A young readers&’ companion to the adult memoir Kid Quixotes by Stephen Haff.Narrated by one extraordinary ten-year-old girl, this inspiring memoir tells the…
story of a daughter of Mexican American immigrants who finds her voice through the power of words and performance of Cervantes&’ Don Quixote. When a shy girl named Sarah Sierra first joins an after-school program in her neighborhood, she never expects to travel back in time and discover the words of Miguel de Cervantes. But at Still Waters in a Storm, a teacher named Stephen and a group of kids have pushed together tables piled high with books so they can gather round to talk about and translate Cervantes&’ classic, Don Quixote de La Mancha. They begin to reimagine Don Quixote—the story of an idealistic dreamer from Spain who traveled around trying to right the world&’s wrongs—as the story of a group of modern-day kids from immigrant families in Brooklyn. The stories the kids write in class become a musical play—expressing the plight of today&’s immigrants and using Quixote as inspiration. And Sarah, once very shy, soon will play the leading role as Kid Quixote. Perfect for fans of I Am Malala, Dear America, and The Freedom Writers Diary, this stirring true story will inspire you to imagine, to speak up, and to sing out.Her Right Foot
