About this book

Español

La poeta del piso de arriba

Demasiado enferma para ir a la escuela en un frío día de invierno, Juliana observa desde su ventana a una señora alta con abrigo rojo que sube cajas de libros y papeles al piso de arriba. Es una poeta, y Juliana se muere por conocerla. Mientras escucha el teclear de la máquina de escribir, la niña sueña con la isla tropical de donde vienen su mamá y la poeta. Al día siguiente recibe una invitación y juntas escriben un poema: las palabras convierten las paredes frías en montañas, palmeras y flores. Un lírico libro ilustrado sobre la poesía, la imaginación y las raíces puertorriqueñas.

English

The Poet Upstairs

Too sick for school on a cold winter day, Juliana watches from her window as a tall lady in a red coat carries boxes of books and papers up to the apartment above. She is a poet, and Juliana can hardly wait to meet her. Listening to the typewriter clicking, the girl dreams of the tropical island her mother and the poet both call home. Invited upstairs, the two write a poem together, and words turn cold walls into mountains, palm trees and flowers. A lyrical picture book celebrating poetry, imagination and Puerto Rican roots.
