Description

Tomatoes laugh, chiles explode, and tortillas applaud the sun! With joy and tenderness, delight and sadness, Alcarcon's poems honor the wonders of life and nature.

Welcoming the morning sun, remembering his grandmother's songs, paying tribute to children working in the fields, and sharing his dream of a world filled with gardens. Artist Maya Christina Gonzalez invites us to experience the poems with her lively cast of characters including a spirited grandma, four vivacious children, and playful pets who tease and delight. 


¡Los tomates ríen, los chiles explotan y las tortillas aplauden al sol! Con alegría y ternura, deleite y tristeza, los poemas de Alcarcón honran las maravillas de la vida y la naturaleza.

Dando la bienvenida al sol de la mañana, recordando las canciones de su abuela, rindiendo homenaje a los niños que trabajan en el campo y compartiendo su sueño de un mundo lleno de jardines. La artista Maya Christina Gonzalez nos invita a experimentar los poemas con su animado elenco de personajes que incluyen una abuela enérgica, cuatro niños vivaces y mascotas juguetonas que bromean y deleitan.
