Serafina's Promise by Ann E. Burg5/28/2023 ![]() Children, by reading this prose, may be able to more clearly understand that it is only with perseverance that their dreams may come true. ![]() It is easy to picture in one's head Serafina's environment and daily life in Haiti. I also enjoy certain literary choices such as whenever the author talks about falling or being alone, the words are spaced farther apart. ![]() I gave this story four stars because I especially admire Serafina's character and work ethic. Caring and loving, even though she has a lot of studying and school work to do to make her dreams a reality, Serafina does not forget about her loved ones. She is very ambitious and determined, and by never giving up on her dream, she is finally able to go to school. ![]() This road is not easy for her-her mother has a laundry list of chores for her to do, her family is about to gain a new baby, and she lives in a poor area, sometimes with very little food. Serafina is a young girl in Haiti who dreams, along with her best friend, of becoming a doctor one day. ![]()
