Books for Older Children: The Red Umbrella

Día is a holiday that celebrates diversity and multiculturalism. It's about children all over the world, from different backgrounds. And since some of you have been asking for books for older children, we begin by sharing this book trailer for The Red Umbrella, a book by Christina Diaz Gonzalez. Based on the real events of Operation Pedro Pan where over 14,000 Cuban children were sent to the U.S. in the two year period between 1960-1962, this novel depicts the pain of losing one’s homeland and showcases the generosity of the American spirit.

Take a look...
