See below for English description.

Le tremblement de terre du 12 janvier 2010 a changé à jamais la vie des enfants haïtiens. Plusieurs d'entre eux ont vu des gens mourir. D'autres ont eux-mêmes frôlé la mort, comme Junior, qui est resté coincé dans les décombres de sa maison pendant plusieurs jours avant d'être secouru. Ce livre raconte son histoire extraordinaire, porteuse d'espoir et de rêves, de courage et de survie.

n Edwidge's story, Junior is trapped under his pancaked house for eight whole days.This timely, beautiful book is the perfect tool to help parents talk with their children about tragedy and hope. Based on a true story, author Edwidge Danticat, a Haitian-American, weaves a story that is truly from the heart.
