No More Grating Yuka (Taino Ni Rahu)

Anani is almost 11. The women and girls of her Taino (pronounced "tie-ee-no") fishing village of Kaleta are responsible for grating the yuka tubers that provide the flour for their bread. It's hard work, and Anani hates it. When a horrible storm hits, the fishing kanoa (canoe) with her three fathers and two brothers-one is Kayabo, with whom she has a special bond-is missing. Anani fears that, by wishing to avoid grating more yuka, she has brought the storm upon her people. This is Book Two in Lynne Guitar's "Taino Ni Rahu (Children of the Water) Series." The first half of each of the 10 books in the series is in English, and the second half is in Spanish. Guides to the books' historical backgrounds, characters, pronunciation, and extended explanations of Taino words used are also provided for educational purposes.
