Creada en colaboración con el Museo Nacional del Latino Estadounidense de la Institución Smithsonian, la serie Nuestras Voces comparte historias latinas que inspiran. En el verano de 1493, Cocuyo, una niña de once años, sueña con encontrar su lugar dentro de su comunidad taína en la isla de Quisqueya. Pero en menos de un año, su hogar, su familia, sus amigos y su vida cotidiana cambiarán para siempre con la llegada de los europeos. A medida que Cocuyo aprende más sobre los forasteros que llegan por mar --y sobre lo que quieren de Quisqueya y su gente--, busca formas de ayudar a su comunidad. Al principio, los taínos intentan recibir a los forasteros con los brazos abiertos, pero pronto deben protegerse de las invasiones, las enfermedades y la esclavitud. Mientras los taínos oponen resistencia y se mantienen de pie, Cocuyo está decidida a ayudar a preservar la cultura que ama. En formato de diario, la serie Nuestras Voces perfila personajes inspiradores y honra las alegrías, las dificultades y las victorias de las vidas latinas. Created in collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Latino, Nuestras Voces shares inspiring Latino stories. In the summer of 1493, eleven-year-old Cocuyo is eager to find her place within her Taíno community on the island of Quisqueya. But in less than a year, her home, her family and friends, and her daily life will be forever changed by the arrival of Europeans. As Cocuyo learns more and more about the strangers who arrive by sea--and what they want from Quisqueya and its people--she looks for ways to help her community. At first, the Taíno try to befriend the strangers, but later they must protect themselves from invasion, disease, and enslavement. As the Taíno resist and survive, Cocuyo becomes determined to help preserve the culture that she loves. In diary format, the Nuestras Voces series profiles inspiring characters and honors the joys, challenges, and outcomes of Latino experiences.
