Read the excerpt from The Red Umbrella. "But, Papá, can’t you convince them to give you another job . . . in an office?” I thought about how I’d never seen Papá fix anything around our house."No, mi hija. I’ve been told that I need to prove myself first.”"Prove yourself how?” Mamá tucked in her cotton blouse.He shrugged. "Show them I’m a good revolutionary.” He looked at me and Frankie. "They mentioned the kids several times. Said that Lucía needs to volunteer to work on the farms or join the brigades if she wants to finish her education. And Frankie’ll have to join the Pioneros group to learn all about the revolution.”"No.” Mamá put her hands on her hips. "I won’t do that. There’s no way I’m sending my daughter away. Revolutionaries taking care of her. It’s absurd!”Papá nodded. "I know, I know. They want to indoctrinate the kids right under our noses.”
