"Composed in the wake of the devastating earthquake of January 2010, this inspired child's-eye view will leave no reader or listener unmoved." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) From the New York Times-bestselling author and National Book Award finalist comes a brilliantly crafted story of hope and imagination-a powerful tribute to Haiti and children around the world... 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. "An uplifting story, told in the ingenuous voice of Junior, a boy pulled from the rubble of his former home eight days after the earthquake that devastated Port-au-Prince in January 2010... a moving celebration of hope, determination, and resilience." - Publishers Weekly "Focusing on one child who survived the 2010 disaster in Haiti, this beautiful and touching picture book is a true testament to the spirit of the people of this nation." - School Library Journal "Their moving storytelling personalizes the dramatic news stories of the disaster with a close-up, fictionalized narrative of one child's experience." - Booklist
