In 1960 my father got into a rowboat from Havana, Cuba and rowed 90 miles to the United States to start his new life. By the time I got into seventh grade, I was telling my friends that my father saved all of his family, all of his friends, piled everyone into that boat and rowed everybody over to America. By the time I got into high school, I was telling my friends that my father stole five boats from Castro s navy, saved all of his friends, all of his family, all of his first, second, third, fourth, and fifth cousins, everyone on his block, all of the pets, and everybody on his baseball team. He piled them into the boat. There was no room for him in the boat, so he tied those boats together with a big rope, put that rope around his shoulders and he swam everybody over to the United States. . . Born in Boston to a Cuban father and an Irish-American mother, Antonio Sacre is one of the few "leprecanos "on the national speaking circuit. Using his own personal history and telling the stories that audiences across the nation have found so captivating and wonderful, this award-winning storyteller and author weaves the Spanish language, Cuban and Mexican customs, and Irish humor into an unforgettable book of humor, inspiration, tradition, and family. "My Name is Cool" is a classic story sure to transcend, like the author himself, cultures and boundaries."

Water Torture, the Barking Mouse, and other tales of wonder is a cross-generational work that is just as enjoyable for parents and grandparents as for our younger listeners. We hope Antonio Sacre's delightful stories about growing up Cuban in America encourage an actively shared listening experience for young and old - and inspire you to explore your own immigrant histories with your families.
