Publisher's Synopsis
NO MORE GRATING YUKA/NUNCA MAS VOY A GUYAR YUKA. Anani is almost 11 in 1489. The women and girls of her Taino (pronounced "tie-ee-no") fishing village of Kaleta are responsible for grating the yuka tubers that provide the flour for their bread. It's hard work, and Anani hates it. When a horrible storm hits, the fishing kanoa (canoe) with her three fathers and two brothers-one is Kayabo, with whom she has a special bond-is missing. Anani fears that, by wishing to avoid grating more yuka, she has brought the storm upon her people. This is Book Two in Dr. Lynne Guitar's "Taino Ni Rahu (Children of the Water) Series." All 10 books in the series take place just as Christopher Columbus and his motley crews are about to disrupt the Tainos' lives forever. The books are in both English and Spanish. Guides to the books' historical backgrounds, characters, pronunciation, and extended explanations of Taino words used are also provided for educational purposes. --- NO MORE GRATING YUKA/NUNCA MAS VOY A GUYAR YUKA.
