Rita Finds Home 1, Illustration by Elisa Chavarri.

Rita, a young artist, paints and dreams of living in the big city despite the lush tropical island she calls home. When a hurricane thrusts Rita and her mother into a new life in a metropolis, she struggles to adapt. Feeling lost and as if everything she knew, including her talents, had been washed away by the storm, Rita embarks on a journey that helps her redefine what home means to her.

With a little help from her new friends and her family, Rita’s spirits are lifted as she explores the beauty of her new city, igniting a new sense of home and the realization that her talents never left her.
