Una conmovedora oda multicultural a la familia y a lo que significa crear un hogar cuando una niña ayuda a su tía a mudarse de su querido apartamento en Miami.


Cuando Fortuna, la tía de Estrella, tiene que despedirse de su antiguo edificio de apartamentos en Miami, The Seaway, para mudarse a una comunidad de vida asistida, Estrella pasa todo el día con ella. Su tía le explica el significado de sus posesiones más importantes, tanto de su cultura cubana como judía, mientras ambas se despiden y exploran un nuevo comienzo para la tía.
 
Un conmovedor libro sobre la tradición, la cultura y la unión familiar, El nuevo hogar de Tía Fortuna explora la herencia cubana y judía sefardí de Estrella y su tía. A través del viaje de su tía, Estrella aprenderá que mientras tengas a tu familia, el hogar se lleva en el corazón.
 
 
 
When Estrella's Tía Fortuna has to say goodbye to her longtime Miami apartment building, The Seaway, to move to an assisted living community, Estrella spends the day with her. Tía explains the significance of her most important possessions from both her Cuban and Jewish culture, as they learn to say goodbye together and explore a new beginning for Tía.

A lyrical book about tradition, culture, and togetherness, Tia Fortuna's New Home explores Tía and Estrella's Sephardic Jewish and Cuban heritage. Through Tía's journey, Estrella will learn that as long as you have your family, home is truly where the heart is.
