I saw this beautiful cup and saucer on eBay last week and fell instantly in love with them. They’ll look just right in my kitchen when it’s finished and I can already see the cup filled with a bunch of tiny flowers from the garden or perhaps holding a little candle.

A young Cuban American girl bought the book home and showed it to her father; a Cuban dissident and political prisoner who was upset at the soft picture the book portrayed of life under Castro. He immediately notified the Miami Dade public schools authorities who proceed to place the book under a ban. Miamis strong Cuban American population supported the ban on the book in Miami schools arguing that reading the book could create the wrong impression in young childrens minds about the reality of life in Cuba.
