I Live in Havana

"Children are born to be happy" is a phrase by Cuba's national hero, Jos Mart. This is a beautiful
book, with exquisite illustrations, that tells a cheerful and simple story of the daily life of a Cuban
child. The book demonstrates the traditions and customs of children and families in Cuba as well
as iconic places in Havana where Yadira lives. The priority given to child development in Cuba is
an example for Latin America and the world. Cuban children enjoy health, education, sports and
art for free and according to UNICEF Cuba is the only country in the region to have eliminated
child malnutrition.
