Join us as we read The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros. Acclaimed by critics, beloved by readers of all ages, taught everywhere from inner-city grade schools to universities across the country, and translated all over the world, this book is a classic for a reason. Told in a series of vignettes—sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes deeply joyous—it is the story of a young Latina girl, Esperanza Cordero, growing up in Chicago, inventing for herself who and what she will become. Brenda Ciardiello, a Carter Community Artist, will share some insight on the exhibition ¡Printing the Revolution!: The Rise and Impact of Chicano Graphics, 1965 to Now and how the artworks connect to themes in the book.

Purchase The House on Mango Street in the Museum Shop.
