Waiting for Snow in Havana: Confessions of a Cuban Boy"Have mercy on me, Lord, I am Cuban." In 1962, Carlos Eire was one of 14,000 children airlifted out of Havana exiled from his family, his country, and his own childhood by Fidel Castro's revolution. Winner of the National Book Award, this stunning memoir is a vibrant and evocative look at Latin America from a child's unforgettable experience. Waiting for Snow in Havana is both an exorcism and an ode to a paradise lost. For the Cuba of Carlos's youth
"Have mercy on me, Lord, I am Cuban." In 1962, Carlos Eire was one of 14,000 children airlifted out of Havana--exiled from his family, his country, and his own childhood by Fidel Castro's revolution. Winner of the National Book Award, this stunning memoir is a vibrant and evocative look at Latin America from a child's unforgettable experience. Waiting for Snow in Havana is both an exorcism and an ode to a paradise lost. For the Cuba of Carlos's youth--with its lizards and turquoise seas and sun-drenched siestas--becomes an island of condemnation once a cigar-smoking guerrilla named Fidel Castro ousts President Batista on January 1, 1959. Suddenly the music in the streets sounds like gunfire. Christmas is made illegal, political dissent leads to imprisonment, and too many of Carlos's friends are leaving Cuba for a place as far away and unthinkable as the United States. Carlos will end up there, too, and fulfill his mother's dreams by becoming a modern American man--even if his soul remains in the country he left behind. Narrated with the urgency of a confession, Waiting for Snow in Havana is a eulogy for a native land and a loving testament to the collective spirit of Cubans everywhere.Binding Type: Paperback

Great interactive ball !!
Color: Red
I have an 11 month old golden doodle and she loves this ball! It keeps her attention for a good amount of time I have been using it for times where i absolutely need her to be occupied and so far so good! I was worried she would chew it up but that hadn’t been an issue it seems to be very durable! And so for I have charged it up one time and she has had a few plays with it i should probably go ahead and charge it but lasted good amount! Def would recommend also loovveee that it doesn’t play music constantly ! One main things i was looking for have a few moving ones that are so fern loud I rather her not be occupied 🤣

The price of 35.99 is just perfect.
Color: Blue
This toy is truly amazing! Even when it's out of power, my little dog will play with it by itself.
When I first got it, it barked at the toy for about an hour - probably because it was a bit confused and excited. But later, everything was fine. Now it has become one of the dog's favorite toys, and the only one.
The quality is excellent, and it's really quite fun. It can be played with on its own to entertain itself, or it can be used for a tug-of-war game with another object - it's versatile.
Our whole family loves it very much! Highly recommended.
