The Harvest Birds/Los Pajaros

Juan Zanate se sienta bajo su árbol favorito con sus únicos amigos, los pájaros de la cosecha, soñando con ser agricultor como su padre y su abuelo. Pero cuando su padre muere y la tierra de la familia se reparte, solo alcanza para sus dos hermanos mayores. En este encantador cuento popular bilingüe, arraigado en las tradiciones indígenas de México, Juan aprende a forjar su propio destino con la ayuda de sus fieles amigos alados, que le enseñan la sabiduría de sembrar juntos frijol, calabaza y maíz y de respetar la naturaleza. Una cálida celebración de la perseverancia, la vida rural mexicana y los secretos que la naturaleza revela a quienes saben escuchar.

English

The Harvest Birds

Juan Zanate sits under his favorite tree with his only friends, the harvest birds, dreaming of becoming a farmer like his father and grandfather. But when his father dies and the family land is divided, there is only enough for his two older brothers. In this charming bilingual folktale rooted in the Indigenous traditions of Mexico, Juan learns to determine his own destiny with help from his loyal feathered friends, who share the wisdom of planting beans, squash, and corn together and respecting nature. A warm celebration of perseverance, rural Mexican life, and the secrets the natural world holds for those who listen.
