This heartfelt story of resilience follows two siblings as they work to recover and rebuild after Hurricane Maria destroys their home in Puerto Rico. Esta emotiva historia de resiliencia sigue a dos hermanos en su proceso de recuperaci n luego de que el hurac n Maria destruyera su casa en Puerto Rico. Before an intense hurricane hits their home in Puerto Rico, Antonio told his sister vibrant stories each night. During the storm, they huddled with their parents in a closet and hear the storm blow the roof right off their home. After the storm, their family uses a temporary blue tarp for a roof, and Antonio stops speaking. Gradually the siblings imagine their blue roof playfully--as the ocean above them or a parachute helping them fall from the sky. As the narrator helps her little brother feel safe once more--and after the family and community build a new roof--the little boy begins to speak again.

A medida que la narradora ayuda al hermanito a recuperar su seguridad --y luego de que la familia y la comunidad construyen un nuevo techo-- el peque ito comienza a hablar otra vez.
