Twelve-year-old Ana Rosa is a blossoming writer growing up in the Dominican Republic, a country where words are feared. Yet there is so much inspiration all around her — watching her brother search for a future, learning to dance and to love, and finding out what it means to be part of a community — that Ana Rosa must write it all down. As she struggles to find her own voice and a way to make it heard, Ana Rosa realizes the power of her words to transform the world around her — and to transcend the most unthinkable of tragedies.
When life gets difficult for Ana Rosa, a twelve-year-old would-be writer living in a small village in the Dominican Republic, she can depend on her older brother to make her feel better--until the life-changing events on her thirteenth birthday.

reviewed Color of My Words on June 20, 2008 Color of My Words
This is a beautiful story told through poems by a 12 year old narrator who lives in the Dominican Republic. She watches as her happy existence and home are brought into the middle of a battle for worker's rights with her beloved brother as the leader. Through tragedy and triumph the girl learns what it means to live and to follow her passion to write in a country where there is no freedom of the press. This short book tells a big story and I highly recommend it.
Possible themes to teach: oppression, love of writing, alcoholism, poverty, sibling relationships, leadership, Dominican culture, music, etc.
