false 537819 4 <i>A Cafecito Story</i> is a story of love, coffee, birds and hope. It is a beautifully written eco-fable by best-selling author Julia Alvarez. Based on her and her husband's experiences trying to reclaim a small coffee farm in her native Dominican Republic, <i>A Cafecito Story</i> shows how the return to the traditional methods of shade-grown coffee can rehabilitate and rejuvenate the landscape and human culture, while at the same time preserving vital winter habitat for threatened songbirds.<br />Not a political or environmental polemic, <i>A Cafecito Story</i> is instead a poetic, modern fable about human beings at their best. The challenge of producing coffee is a remarkable test of our ability to live more sustainably, caring for the land, growers, and consumers in an enlightened and just way. Written with Julia Alvarez's deft touch, this is a story that stimulates while it comforts, waking the mind and warming the soul like the first cup of morning coffee. Indeed, this story is best read with a strong cup of organic, shade-grown, fresh-brewed coffee. 525234 2001 A Cafecito Story: El Cuento Del Cafecito total:94|5:29|4:26|3:30|2:7|1:2| 94 355 152 14 3 0 false true Fri May 30 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Mar 14 10:02:48 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 14 10:09:45 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Mar 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 12 06:00:52 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 12 06:09:18 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Jan 20 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 20 10:34:06 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 20 10:37:36 -0800 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Mon Jun 16 20:19:39 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 16 20:19:43 -0700 2008
