A Giant Little Girl - 9781734483048

The Dominican carnival wears its best clothes. Evarista, an old woman from the neighborhood, gathered the children around her old rocking chair and spoke to them about the events that gave rise to the celebration, and the meaning of the costumes, and urged them to participate by representing one of her popular characters. The protagonist harbored the desire to attend disguised as a giant, the dilemma was how to achieve it until, already inside her house, she discovered the way to achieve it with the help of Manito, her older brother. The story not only narrates the adventures of this restless girl but also shows us the origin of a tradition that endures through time, under the warm sky of that earthly paradise that is the Dominican Republic.
