For the students, many living in constant fear of deportation, Still Waters is a refuge. For Stephen Haff, a former public-school teacher, it is the sanctuary he built following a breakdown caused by bipolar depression. At Still Waters, all agreed that there would only be one rule: \"Everyone listens to everyone.\" And this has unlocked spectacular potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 2016, the students have been collectively translating \u003cem\u003eDon Quixote\u003c\/em\u003e into English, taking the Spanish tale--a story about a dreamer who never gives up--and adapting it into a bilingual musical. Six-year old Sarah tells of her mother's journey across the desert from Mexico riding on the back of a tiger. Alex, a very private teenager, sings her coming out song to standing ovations. As the kids perform their work across NYC, they learn that they belong in this country--their voices amplifying to deliver a message of diversity, love, hope, and resilience essential to us all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67610046923119,"sku":"9780062934079","price":108.16,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0062934074.jpg?v=1790611124","url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/products\/still-waters-in-a-storm","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
