En esta galardonada colección bilingüe de poemas, el pequeño Jorgito vive ahora en el Distrito de la Misión de San Francisco, pero no ha olvidado su natal El Salvador: sus volcanes, las sabrosas pupusas de maíz y los cuentos de su abuela. Los tiernos poemas de Jorge Argueta, presentados en inglés y en español, capturan el asombro de una infancia en el campo salvadoreño, el vínculo amoroso con un padre cariñoso, y la confusión y la alegría de adaptarse a una nueva vida en un nuevo país. Las coloridas pinturas de Elizabeth Gómez celebran la cultura salvadoreña y la dicha del reencuentro familiar. Ganador del Premio Américas de literatura latinoamericana.

English Translation

A Movie in My Pillow

In this award-winning bilingual poetry collection, young Jorgito has come to live in San Francisco's Mission District, but he has not forgotten his native El Salvador — its volcanoes, tasty cornmeal pupusas, and his grandmother's stories. Jorge Argueta's tender poems, presented in both English and Spanish, capture the wonder of childhood in rural El Salvador, a loving bond with a caring father, and the confusion and delight of adjusting to a new life in a new country. Elizabeth Gómez's brilliantly colored paintings celebrate Salvadoran culture and the joy of family reunion. Winner of the Américas Award for Latin American literature.
