In this groundbreaking book, a photojournalist offers a glimpse of contemporary life in Havana that few people living in the United States have ever seen. Wolf documents his recent trip to Cuba's capital city in full-color photographs accompanied by brief descriptions of what he saw and learned about the lives of people there. While he doesn't avoid pointing out the poverty and challenges faced by most Cuban citizens today, he balances this information with positive aspects of life in Havana: racial tolerance, little crime, a high literacy rate, and an appreciation for the arts. (Gr 4-9)
