The Streets are Free

About this book

This inspiring book is based on the true story of the children of the barrio of San Jose de la Urbina in Caracas Venezuela. There are no parks where they live and the children must play in the streets. They ask the mayor for an empty lot to build a playground but all they get are campaign promises. They know that they are the only ones who will make something happen so they get their friends and family involved until the whole barrio unites to create a space of their own.
