Great Multi-cultural Book: All For the Better: The Story of El Barrio

In this time of economic change, it is important to highlight the accomplishments of young people and how at a very tender age - they are able to be the change that we need to have in this world.


Evelina Lopez Anonetty is an example of change. When presented with hardship in Puerto Rico, she had decided to move to the United States with her aunt so that her mother and sister could have a better life. She begins to immerse herself in the culture and has some challenges with the local girls. After learning that many of her neighbors are without food and are too proud to ask for help, she organizes them in an effort to support the local community.


This book is about the impact that a young individual can have due to their sheer willingness to help the community. I hope that you enjoy reading this book as much as I have!
