“In my years of experience as a writer and as a college professor, I have never seen anything like this: the love for language, the passion for discussion, clarity of mind, and humility of heart. Stephen Haff invents impossible projects and makes them possible.” —Valeria Luiselli, author of Lost Children Archive The unlikely, inspiring true story of a one-room school where children of undocumented immigrants and their teacher discover their voices and speak truth to power. Still Waters in a Storm is an after-school program held in a small room in Bushwick, Brooklyn; it is a place for kids to practice reading and writing in English, Spanish, and Latin. 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. Since 2016, the students have been collectively translating Don Quixote 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.

The unlikely yet inspiring true story of a teacher struggling with mental illness, a silent daughter of an undocumented mother, and the amazing one-room schoolhouse that helped them find their voices, heal their pain, and become empowering models of resilience. After seven years at a high school with metal detectors and armed police, Yale-educated teacher Stephen Haff suffered a breakdown. Doctors later diagnosed him with bi-polar depression. Inspired by his former students, Haff formed a reading group that eventually became Still Waters in A Storm, an after school program in Bushwick, Brooklyn. techniques from outside standard educational practices—Drawing from his experiences, Haff developed a new teaching method using AA meetings, Quaker prayers, psychotherapy, and even Buddhist meditation circles to create a more empathetic and collaborative environment. In this fluid, welcoming space, Stephen and his students found solace and something else: their voices. All agreed that at Still Waters there would only be one rule: everyone listens to everyone. And this one rule has unlocked their incredible potential. Over the years, Still Waters’ student have studied Latin, played violen and now they have taken on a new challenge: translating episodes from the classic Don Quixote into English from Spanish. With the help of dictionaries and the approval of acclaimed Don Quixote translator, Edith Grossman, the Still Waters students created a modern travelling musical, The Traveling Adventures of Kid Quixote, which has been performed across New York City. The star of Kid Quixote is six-year-old Sarah Sierra. Before Still Waters, Sarah was silent. But now she has many stories to tell, from her mother’s journey across the desert to America on a tiger to a girl-knight that defeats giants made of ice who lock up children. At Still Waters, these students, led by Sarah, have found their voices and are using them to deliver a message of diversity, tolerance, love, optimism, and resilience essential to us all.
