About this book

Español

A Movie in My Pillow/Una Pelic

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

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.
