Serafina’s Promise
Author: Ann E. Burg
This is a children’s book depicting the tale of one girl’s aspirations to be a doctor. It offers a sad and unflinching depiction of poverty in Haiti. But it is also an uplifting story about the power of love. Serafina both gives to and receives from her parents an understanding and fervent love. It’s this nucleus of her family which supports her through all hardships. This is a thoroughly engrossing piece of imagined reality. It is also saturated with warmth in its tales of friendship, experiences that buoy the narrator even as she watches a baby brother fade into nothingness, blighting her faith in humanity.
