I have just begun reading @ruthbehar's memoir "Travelling Heavy" and I had to pause to share these small passages in which she opens up about her conflicting relationship with the English language, as an Immigrant/Ex-pat from Cuba to the USA. #currentlyreading #langtwt 🇨🇺👄🇺🇸

In ACROSS SO MANY SEAS, a bittersweet historical novel for middle grade readers, @ruthbehar tells of the Sephardi experience of exile, mourning, family love, grief, memory-keeping and resilience. Highlighted in my #KidLit round-up in @LilithMagazine lilith.org/articles/new-b…
