Español

Angels Ride Bikes / Los Angele

En esta colección bilingüe, el poeta Francisco X. Alarcón y la artista Maya Christina Gonzalez celebran el otoño en Los Ángeles, la Ciudad de los Ángeles, donde las maravillas cotidianas florecen. Los mariachis tocan como ángeles, los ángeles andan en bicicleta y la tierra baila el cha-cha-chá. Con versos juguetones y sinceros, Alarcón rinde homenaje a la vida familiar, una visita al mercado al aire libre, la llegada del heladero y el primer día de clases, honrando las enseñanzas de su madre sobre el esfuerzo y los sueños. Las vibrantes ilustraciones de Gonzalez dan vida a sus recuerdos de infancia, creando un tributo alegre a la familia, la cultura y la imaginación.

English

Angels Ride Bikes: And Other Fall Poems

In this bilingual collection, poet Francisco X. Alarcón and artist Maya Christina Gonzalez celebrate autumn in Los Angeles, the City of Angels, where everyday wonders bloom. Mariachis play like angels, angels ride bikes, and the earth dances the cha-cha-chá. Through playful, heartfelt verses, Alarcón honors family life, a visit to the outdoor market, the ice cream vendor's arrival, and the first day of school, paying tribute to his mother's lessons about hard work and dreams. Gonzalez's vibrant illustrations bring his childhood memories to life, making this a joyful tribute to family, culture, and imagination for young readers.
