I love this book told in magic realism style. "I imagine Abulea Celias surprise as I sneak up behind her . She'll be sitting in her wicker swing overlooking the sea and she'll smell of salt and violet water. There'll be gulls and crabs along the shore . She'll stroke my cheek with her cool hands and sing quietly in my ear." I think of my daughters when I read it, who are Cuban on their grandfather's side. #dreamingincuban #latinheritagemonth
