From The Bellybutton Of The Mo

Esta colección bilingüe, honrada con el Premio Pura Belpré, reúne 22 poemas del reconocido poeta Francisco X. Alarcón, inspirados en sus recuerdos de infancia durante los veranos en Atoyac, México. Viajamos junto a él a través de montañas neblinosas hasta el pueblo de su abuela, donde probamos los desayunos de la tía Reginalda, escuchamos historias familiares y nadamos en el mar cálido. Las alegres ilustraciones de Maya Christina Gonzalez reflejan un mundo donde los colores son más vivos y el tiempo parece detenerse. Parte de una entrañable serie de poesía estacional, este libro captura la magia y calidez del verano con textos en inglés y español.
