More Description This heartfelt story of resilience follows two siblings as they work to recover and rebuild after Hurricane Maria destroys their home in Puerto Rico.
Esta emotiva historia de resiliencia sigue a dos hermanos en su proceso de recuperaci n luego de que el huracan Maria destruyera su casa en Puerto Rico.
Before an intense hurricane hits their home in Puerto Rico, Antonio told his sister vibrant stories each night. During the storm, they huddled with their parents in a closet and hear the storm blow the roof right off their home. After the storm, their family uses a temporary blue tarp for a roof, and Antonio stops speaking. Gradually the siblings imagine their blue roof playfully-as the ocean above them or a parachute helping them fall from the sky. As the narrator helps her little brother feel safe once more--and after the family and community build a new roof--the little boy begins to speak again.
Antes de que un fuerte huracan danara su casa en Puerto Rico, todas las noches Antonio contaba a su hermana animadas historias. Durante la tormenta, se acurrucaron con sus padres en un cl set desde donde escucharon como la tormenta hizo volar el techo de su hogar. Luego de la tormenta, la familia utiliza un toldo azul provisorio como techo, y Antonio deja de hablar. Poco a poco, los hermanos comienzan a pensar en su techo azul de maneras divertidas- imaginan que es el oceano sobre sus cabezas o un paracaidas para lanzarse desde el cielo. A medida que la narradora ayuda al hermanito a recuperar su seguridad -y luego de que la familia y la comunidad construyen un nuevo techo- el pequenito comienza a hablar otra vez.
