    En una apacible isla del Caribe antes de 1492, dos niños taínos cuentan por turnos la historia de su vida. A Niña Mañana le encanta la luz del día; su hermano menor, Niño Estrella, pertenece a la noche. A través de sus voces alternadas, el lector comparte alegrías y disputas familiares, tormentas, pérdidas y el lento aprendizaje de crecer y comprenderse. Entonces, en el último relato de Niña Mañana, aparecen unos extraños sobre el agua, y todo el mundo que ella conoce está a punto de cambiar para siempre.

    English Translation

    Morning Girl

    On a peaceful Caribbean island before 1492, two Taíno children take turns telling the story of their lives. Morning Girl loves the light of day, while her younger brother, Star Boy, belongs to the night. Through their alternating voices, readers share family joys and quarrels, storms, losses, and the slow work of growing up and understanding each other. Then, in Morning Girl's final chapter, strangers appear on the water, and everything her world has known is about to change forever. A moving short novel about the first encounter.
