Summary

Cuando una estudiante es asignada el trabajo de completar un árbol familiar y solo puede contar tres generaciones atrás, Abuela junta a toda la familia, y la estudiante aprende que hace 400 años, en 1619, sus antepasados fueron robados y traídos a los Estados Unidos por esclavizadores europeos. Pero antes de eso, ellos tenían un hogar, una tierra, un idioma.

La estudiante aprende cómo la gente que dice haber nacido sobre el agua sobrevivió.
Cómo sembraron sueños y esperanza.
Cómo aprendieron nuevas palabras
para amor
para amigo
para familia
para alegría
para crecer

para hogar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


The 1619 Project’s lyrical picture book in verse, adapted for audio, chronicles the consequences of slavery and the history of Black resistance in the United States, thoughtfully rendered by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones and Newbery honor-winning author Renée Watson.


A young student receives a family tree assignment in school, but she can only trace back three generations. Grandma gathers the whole family, and the student learns that 400 years ago, in 1619, their ancestors were stolen and brought to America by white slave traders.
But before that, they had a home, a land, a language. She learns how the people said to be born on the water survived.


And the people planted dreams and hope,
willed themselves to keep
living, living.

And the people learned new words
for love
for friend
for family

for joy
for grow
for home.

With powerful verse and striking illustrations by Nikkolas Smith, Born on the Water provides a pathway for readers of all ages to reflect on the origins of American identity.

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.
