Summary

"Celebrate Cuba's people, culture, and natural world in bilingual haikus written in Spanish and English! Is it an island or a tiny ship floating upon the waters? HaiCuba/HaiKuba is a celebration of Cuba through bilingual haikus written in Spanish and English. Discover the red, white, and blue tocororo bird (whose feathers resemble the flag of Cuba), the crowded guagua, a Havana neighborhood, salsa music and dancing, and guayaberas, through poetry that captures the rhythm of life in Cuba. Co-authored by award-winning Cuban-American author Carlos Pintado and prolific bilingual author and translator Lawrence Schimel, HaiCuba/HaiKuba introduces the people, culture, and natural world of Cuba through these tropical verses and vibrant illustrations"--
