    "Recuerda: el árbol es más viejo que tú y quizás encuentres historias en sus ramas". Así comienza esta maravillosa antología bilingüe de poemas y relatos de México, presentada en español e inglés. El lector podrá imaginar un coche tan dulce como un helado de fresa, una piel que besa el aire y cabellos que ondean con la brisa, un conejo de orejas pequeñas, una rana que corre en vez de saltar y taxis llenos de fantasmas. Pinturas de artistas mexicanos, de colores intensos, acompañan los textos y transmiten no solo su significado, sino también su magia.

    English Translation

    The Tree Is Older Than You Are

    "Remember, the tree is older than you are and you might find stories in its branches." So begins this wondrous bilingual gathering of poems and stories from Mexico, presented in both Spanish and English. Readers are invited to imagine a car as sweet as strawberry ice cream, skin that kisses air and breeze-waving hair, a rabbit with little ears, a frog that runs instead of hops, and taxis filled with ghosts. Richly colored paintings by Mexican artists appear throughout, expressing not only the meaning of the words but the magic within them.
