A heartfelt story that highlights the ever-present love and comfort a family brings one another during a time of uncertainty and strife.

Set during the Cuban Revolution, this lyrical picture book for 6-to-9-year-olds balances the experience of upheaval and hardship with the hope of brighter days ahead.

When military violence erupts in the streets outside Lucinda's home, the family joins together, pushing furniture against doors, filling cracks with wet napkins, and lighting candles when met with darkness. Amidst the blasts and cries, Lucinda's heart taps against her chest. Mamá's spoon taps against her sizzling pan. How can she cook when so much is happening outside?

A Light for Lucinda honors the human instinct to provide order and stability during times of chaos and strife with poignant, uplifting storytelling.

Also available in Spanish as Una luz para Lucinda.
