"Caminar" by Skila Brown follows the journey of a young boy named Carlos living in Guatemala amidst political unrest and turmoil. As he navigates the challenges of his daily life, he finds himself on a path that leads him to confront the harsh realities of his world, including poverty and violence. Told in evocative verse, the story captures both the beauty of Carlos's homeland and the struggles faced by its people. Through his experiences, Carlos learns about courage, resilience, and the importance of family and community in the face of adversity. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
