Parent Guide
Esther’s father has been in Cuba for the past three years, trying and failing to earn enough money to bring the family out of Poland on the eve of the Holocaust. When he is finally able to earn enough money for one ticket, feisty Esther travels across the world to join him. She meets many kind angels along the way and develops close friendships during her journey and later in Cuba. Her friendly approach is reciprocated; her new friends introduce her to various new cultures, and she shares her own. All the while, Esther writes, diary style, to her beloved sister Malka about her experiences. While helping her father peddle various wares, Esther stumbles upon a way that she can help reunite her family. This is a beautiful and inspiring story of immigration, friendship, and community.
