Description ▲
This book is a testament to a Haitian mother, Marechal Mimi, who didn't know how to read or write; but, made educating her 10 kids a very powerful goal. It describes the struggles of Haitian peasants who wants to educate their kids and the obstacles these children have to overcome to have access to education. Ti Jan fought his way from the forgotten to become the voice of all those who don't have the chance or the opportunity to tell their story. Chapo ba pou Marechal Mimi ak ti Jan is the story of millions around the world that has never been told with such clarity and honesty. This story invites you to take your hat off and pay respect to the woman, to whom, Ti Jan is trying to say: Thank You! Education was not a right in Marechal Mimi and ti Jan's world, but a privilege.
