The Last Cuentista by Donna Barba Higuera
Honoring the Past "It'll be our job to remember the parts we got wrong and make it better for our children and grandchildren. Embrace our differences, and still find a way to make peace." p110 "Never be ashamed of where you come from, or the stories your ancestors bring to you. Make them your own." p122 What the Collective doesn't understand is by honoring the past, our ancestors, our cultures-- and remembering our mistakes-- we become better. p258
