Capturing Culture: The Inspiration Behind a Scene in "Under The Flamboyant Tree"

🌳✨ Inspired by Elizabeth Acevedo's "Clap When You Land," one of the scenes in my upcoming novel, "Under The Flamboyant Tree," captures the bittersweet emotions of returning home. For Isabella, the sound of clapping as the plane lands is bittersweet...

Today, I want to share a special moment from my upcoming novel, “Under The Flamboyant Tree,” and the inspiration behind it. As a Dominican author, I often draw from my cultural experiences to create authentic and relatable stories. One such inspiration came from Elizabeth Acevedo’s “Clap When You Land.” A Beautiful Moment: Clap When You Land Elizabeth Acevedo’s “Clap When You Land” beautifully…

Clap When You Land by @acevedowrites is one of my favourite books I read in 2022 I had no idea that I would love it so much, especially because the format of this book is so different, it has verses instead of paragraphs. I almost didn't read it because of the different format but thankfully I got the audiobook for it and it was just so amazing! ✨ Q: Have you read Clap When You Land by @acevedowrites? ✨ [Tags: #clapwhenyouland #clapwhenyoulandelizabethacevedo #elizabethacevedo #camino #yahaira #sisters #planecrash #standalone #poc #pocauthors #pocbooks #booksrecommendations #mustreadbooks #mustread #audiobooks #paperbacks ] https://www.instagram.com/p/CmCrlGcr0Ex/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's been a while since I've read a ya book that isn't manga and glad to have chosen this to get back into it. Was starting to feel like a bunch if ya were similar that I was getting bored and now I'm back at it. This was a pretty good contemporary book with two teens who were living completely seperate lives after being fatherd by the same guy. When the father dies those they meet and it was just and overall interesting book that was written in verse. 📖 🌹 📚 🌺 📖 🌻 📖 📚 🌼 📖 🌷 📚 💮 📖 #instabook #bookgram #bookaddict #bookobsessed #booklove #tbr #currentlyreading #bookish #bookblogger #booksbooksbooks #bookstagram #bookporn #booksofinstagram #ilovebooks #bookphotography #igreads #ilovereading #bibliophile #followme #clapwhenyouland https://www.instagram.com/p/CEUYpZfgh9t/?igshid=adrw0wghuznp

☁️It’s a new Dawn, it’s a new day☁️ QOTD: What is a book you’re wanting to get to this month? Also, if you do have a book you aim to get to and it doesn’t happen do you carry it over to the next month or let it go? Can y’all believe we’re in September already!? WHERE has the time gone? 🥲 I don’t typically make tbr’s, but last month when I made one, I was actually able to get through 8 out of the 11! I was happy about that since it took more books off my TBR shelf’s. So I’m hoping this month goes well too! I’m debating on adding more or not but for now here it is. I have two buddy reads planned. One is Ninth House and the other is New Moon. Ngl I’m so ready for New Moon. 😂 Twilight was fun so we’ll see how the series progresses. 🌻 |Tags| #monthlytbr #tbrpile #septembertbr #theflatshare #betholeary #ninthhouse #leighbardugo #areaperatthegates #askybeyondthestorm #sabaatahir #xoxo #axieoh #clapwhenyouland #elizabethacevedo #newmoon #stephaniemeyer #fantasybooks #romancenovels https://www.instagram.com/p/CTVE2mBr6zZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

✈️Clap When You Land✈️ . “Fight until you can’t breathe, & if you have to forfeit, you forfeit smiling, make them think you let them win.” . I don’t think I need to provide a summary for this book at this point so I’ll be brief. This story follows two sisters who do not know about each other but are brought together after their father is killed in a plane crash. This novel-in-verse jumps between one sister in NYC and the other in DR as they cope with, not only the loss of their father but also the mere existence of the other. . I needed an e-book to read in bed when I couldn’t sleep so I finally picked this one up. Just like The Poet X by the same author, I was amazed at how much emotion and complexity was conveyed with so few words. This is definitely a character-driven story and I loved getting to know the sisters and seeing their similarities and differences. I am still thinking about the differences between the sisters that exist because of privilege and what causes those privileges to exist. I don’t think it’s a secret that I like reading about complicated family dynamics and this definitely gave me that. I do think Camino’s story and POV was a bit more intriguing than Yahaira’s but I still really enjoyed both. If you’re looking for a quick but impactful read and haven’t picked this one up, I highly recommend it. . #ClapWhenYouLand #Contemporary #YA #ElizabethAcevedo #BookReview #BookRecommendations #BookBlogger #BookBlog #BookishCommunity #Bookstagrammer #Bookstagram #Bibliophile #BookishLoveGroup #BookishLove #ReadersOfInstagram #Reader #Books #Book #Bookworm #Bookish #BookNerd #InstaBook #BooksOfInstagram #BookPhotography #Read #BookLove #BooksBooksBooks #InstaBooks #IGReads #BookCommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CQZKtMarJTA/?utm_medium=tumblr

Book 64 of 2021. A plane crash with no survivors. A man who dies in this crash, leaves behind secrets and two families, one in New York City and the other in his home town in Dominican Republic. Two families who were largely in the dark. Two daughters grappling with loss and betrayal and a myriad other issues. Written in prose and told in two voices of two sisters dealing with devastating loss and learning about each other. My third #elizabethacevedo book and one I enjoyed thoroughly. . . . #whimsybookworm2021reads #yalit #ya #youngadult #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #booksbooksbooks #bookbloggers #bookworms #clapwhenyouland #booknerd #bookish #ilovebooks #booksmakemehappy #kindle #ereader #fiction #booklovers #bookreview #bookrecommendations (at West Bengal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPVxOE4JuPd/?utm_medium=tumblr

Reading the work of @acevedowrites felt like seeing my reflection in a mirror. My teenage self would have loved knowing that one day a Latina heroine in #yaliterature would not only be accepted but phenomenal! She writes in spoken word prose & regular chapter format but the emotional impact is still very effective. It’s also cool to know that the author is Afro-Latina & resides in the DMV area! #elizabethacevedo #thepoetx #withthefireonhigh #clapwhenyouland #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/COYQU3khln2/?utm_medium=tumblr

Don't say I don't spoil you... 🌊 You'll be forgiven for thinking I'm absent here for lack of reads to share. Au contraire! Reading is, in fact, one of the things keeping me away. I'm currently co-hosting a Carnegie book club irl, for halflings of target audience age. I find, so far, that the YA, teen, and children's reads are affecting me far more than those they're designed to captivate. And, they are *really* not into fiction in verse... 🌊 'Clap When You Land' is the second Acevedo I've read. Last year I enjoyed 'The Poet X', which is about a girl finding strength as a poet. CWYL is not about poetry; it is about a plane crash and grief shared across an ocean. Yes, it is written in free verse. But mostly, it is prose split into formless poetry, breaking over lines. Whilst I cannot say it is a linguistic delight crafted consciously, line by line, moments of pure poetry surface amongst the surf. And on those lines I linger. 🌊 Mostly, I think that the space between the words is needed for the audience that shuns it. To explore a topic weighted with real-life loss, prejudice, and inequality, maybe we need the room for silence on the page. Though I enjoyed this less than 'The Poet X', which itself was solid but not mind-blowing, I will never not celebrate texts that play with words in their own way. I don't care what the halflings say, I love me a verse novel. 🕯Have you read this one?

3 of 3 I always enjoy reading Elizaebeth Acevedo’s book. She tackles hard topics that cause you to step outside your comfort zone. #bookstagram #booklover #booknerd #poetx #withfireonhigh #clapwhenyouland https://www.instagram.com/p/CHaB0jLFPzo/?igshid=m4aer52ztboj

Elizabeth Acevedo is one of my favourite authors. Her writing is breathtakingly beautiful, and heartbreaking. I keep picking up books and losing a Dad and grief, even though that is a trigger for me, this book is so good! I’m around the halfway mark, I can’t wait to keep reading. ⁣ ⁣ This book is told in verse which is also making me miss poetry, I used to write a lot and I haven’t in years. In alternating POV, we follow the lives of two girls. One in New York and in the Dominican, I have a stronger connection to the girl in the island. I really like he voice and I’m intrigued to see where there story goes. ⁣ ⁣ #clapwhenyouland #elizabethacevedo #alwaysreading #readersofig #livetoread #bookphotography #ofquietmoments #bookishlove #cozyvibes #bookblogger #booksofinstagram #bibliophile #booklove #avidreader #booksforlife #bookreviewer #Bloggerstribe #Bloglife #smallblogger #bookreview #bibliofeature #biblio_feature #slowandsimpledays #seeksimplicity #rusticpages #yaugust2020 #christinaschronicles #currentlyreading (at New Brunswick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDeU0V7gZWe/?igshid=1n2ikayq1u1o5
