The Piano

Product Description: Zora is full of dreams. From the top of the chinaberry tree, she dreams of living in the cities beyond the horizon. Her father thinks she should wear dresses and leave dreaming and tree-climbing to boys. But her mother teaches Zora that like each new branch of the chinaberry tree, dreams are always within reach. Independent and full of spirit, Zora explores her hometown and listens to the stories of its people — stories her mother makes her promise to remember. But it isn’t until Zora is faced with her mother’s death that she realizes the importance of her promise. Based on autobiographical writings of the renowned African American writer Zora Neale Hurston. Also available in Spanish.
