Friends Around the World

27 Cuba – Elio, Boy from the Land of Baseball

by Torazo Yagi

Santa Clara is a warm and beautiful town, filled with music, dance, and baseball, on the island of Cuba. It’s also home to baseball-mad Elio. In this intimate photographic essay, we learn about everyday life for Elio—where he lives, what he eats, who he plays with, and what his dreams are for the future. We also learn about the climate, customs, and cuisine of Cuba. Part of a compelling series of 36 books introducing children around the world.
