There is a deep moral of the story in each chapter.

This book is part of my kid's homeschool curriculum. My 6 year old daughter is intrigued by each chapter. The descriptions suck her in and lead to very deep conversations afterwards. I do substitute certain words because some of the vocabulary is a little higher than hers. The moral of each chapter is beautiful and heartfelt. I'm pleasantly surprised at how well the morals are described and received for a K/1st grader. VERY good book about kindness to others and a wholesome moral compass.

A Different View of Cuba

Alma Flor Ada paints a beautiful picture of her childhood in Cuba. As a teacher who looks for authentic literature about different cultures, I was very impressed with the stories that bore witness to the values of love and family in the Cuban culture. Each chapter can stand alone and the book works well as a read aloud. Ada's remembrances are very heart warming and will help children and adults to appreciate diversity. I would love to visit Cuba and experience some of the natural beauty and hospitality mentioned in this book.

Vivid Memoir

Where the Flame Tree Blooms is a collection of stories used to create a vivid memoir of Ada's childhood in Cuba. Some of the stories she includes are small vignettes of events from her childhood; others are stories of her family that were told to her by her grandmother and great-grandmother about their childhood and young adulthood in Cuba.Ada paints a vivid picture of the not only the landscape of the area she lived in but of the cultural landscape of Cuba during her childhood. There is such an intimate quality about the stories that I felt like I was transported to Ada's childhood and was hearing these stories at the knee of her grandmother or sitting beneath the roots of the flame tree with a Ada as a young girl. She brings the members of her family to life on the page with her vibrant descriptions of their physical features, their dress, and their mannerisms. Each story brings into focus the compassion and strength of the people Ada writes about, and what stands out most about each of the characters is their zest for life.
