The Surrender Tree: Poems of Cuba’s Struggle for Freedom is a Newbery Honor-winning verse novel written in both Spanish and English. Using the story of the folk hero Rosa la Bayamesa as inspiration, lauded poet Margarita Engle explores one of the most harrowing times in Cuban history. In 1896, as Cuba’s fight for independence rages on, people are being rounded up and placed in reconcentration camps rife with illness and starvation. Although Rosa is a nurse, she cannot go to the camps. Instead, she turns hidden caves into hospitals for any that need her help.
