About this book

Español

The Upside Down Boy/el Nino De

Recién llegado del campo, Juanito se siente abrumado en su nuevo salón de kínder. Todo le parece al revés: almuerza a la hora del recreo, juega cuando toca comer, y el inglés se le atora en la lengua como una piedra. Con la ayuda de una maestra comprensiva y su familia cariñosa, Juanito descubre su voz a través de la poesía, el arte y la música. Esta tierna historia bilingüe de Juan Felipe Herrera celebra la experiencia universal de sentirse diferente al empezar de nuevo.

English

The Upside Down Boy

Newly arrived from the countryside, Juanito feels overwhelmed by his kindergarten. Everything seems backwards: lunch comes at recess, playytime replaces class, and English feels like a heavy stone on his tongue. With help from a caring teacher and his loving family, Juanito discovers courage and joy through poetry, art, and music. Juan Felipe Herrera's tender bilingual story captures the universal feeling of being the new, different kid — and finding your own voice.
