The Little House of Love

Recommended Ages: 4-8

Written by Terry Catasús Jennings. Illustrated by Raúl Colón.

As Esperanza and her family settle into their new home, each member contributes to creating a warm and welcoming environment. When fellow immigrant families need shelter, it feels only natural for them to open their doors at la casita. Together, they transform the house into a supportive haven where new arrivals can find community and comfort. Esperanza eagerly greets each newcomer, ensuring that la casita remains a safe space in their new land. In The Little House of Hope, Terry Catasus Jennings, who emigrated from Cuba to the U.S. at the age of twelve, shares this inspiring semi-autobiographical tale of how immigrants can uplift and support one another as they navigate their new lives.
