Eight Days

A Story Of Haiti

BY EDWIDGE DANTICAT, ALIX DELINOIS

Brief Description:
While Junior is trapped for 8 days beneath his collapsed house after an earthquake, he uses his imagination for comfort. Drawing on beautiful, everyday-life memories, Junior paints a sparkling picture of Haiti for each of those days - flying kites with his best friend or racing his sister around St. Marc's Square--helping him through the tragedy until he is finally rescued. Love and hope dance across each page granting us a way to talk about resilience as a family, a classroom, or a friend.
