When two strangers from very different worlds—a little girl in Cuba and an old man in the US—connect through a message in a bottle, their communication inspires a visit which forges a lasting friendship that expands both their worlds. Based on a true story, "Arletis, Abuelo, and the Message in a Bottle" is a lyrically written, lushly illustrated portrait of life in rural Cuba that will enchant children and adults alike.
