Grandma Zuleika is gone, but her handwriting still lives inside one heavy book. Tonight the power is out in the little house by the sea, Grandpa Lázaro's eyes are too tired to see the page, and an eight-year-old girl arrives carrying a single white candle.
Part 1 of 4 in A Candle for Grandpa's Book
Es de noche en Cuba. La casa de Lázaro es pequeña y tiene una ventana grande. El mar está allí y la noche está quieta.
