    My Name Is Gabito: The Life of Gabriel García Márquez

    ¿Cómo llegó Gabriel García Márquez a ser uno de los narradores más queridos del mundo? Esta lírica biografía bilingüe en formato de álbum ilustrado sigue a "Gabito" desde su infancia en Colombia, donde las maravillas cotidianas alimentaban su imaginación sin límites, hasta convertirse en novelista ganador del Premio Nobel. Monica Brown entreteje imágenes inspiradas en su ficción del realismo mágico —un marinero náufrago, un sendero de mariposas amarillas— en un retrato inspirador de un niño que creció para transformar la literatura. Las luminosas ilustraciones de Raúl Colón dan vida a cada página. Presentado en inglés y español, este libro reconocido con el Honor Pura Belpré y el Premio Américas es una introducción perfecta a un gigante literario.

    About the Book

    How did Gabriel García Márquez become one of the world's most beloved storytellers? This lyrical bilingual picture-book biography follows "Gabito" from his childhood in Colombia, where everyday wonders fed his boundless imagination, to his rise as a Nobel Prize-winning novelist. Monica Brown weaves images inspired by his magical-realist fiction—a shipwrecked sailor, a trail of yellow butterflies—into an inspiring portrait of a boy who grew up to change literature. Raúl Colón's luminous illustrations bring the story to life on every page. Presented in both English and Spanish, this Pura Belpré Honor and Américas Award-recognized book is a perfect introduction to a literary giant for young readers.
