My Name Is Gabito: The Life of Gabriel García Márquez

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.
