Description
Cuando manta de bebé preciado de una niña se vuelve viejo y gastado, que se convierte en un vestido, y con los años se convirtió en elementos más pequeños y más pequeños, finalmente terminar como un marcador e inspirando la creación de un libro. Incluye una nota del autor y un glosario.
Description
At a time when repurposing material objects is necessary to save our planet, Monica Brown and
David Diaz have given us a bilingual, Latino retelling of the old Yiddish folktale, “I Had a Little Overcoat.” Using rich, color-saturated illustrations and a bilingual, rhythmic text that begs to be read aloud, this talented team has given us a simple, yet profound story for our youngest readers. Maya has a blanket hand-stitched by her grandmother. As the years go by the blanket gets transformed “using Maya’s own two hands” into smaller and smaller precious items until, in its last iteration as a book mark, it is lost forever. Maya, after frantic searching and careful thought, creates from her beloved magical object a story that will last long enough for her to read to her own daughter—the tale of which is depicted lovingly on the last two-page spread.
Although Diaz’s touches of swirling rich greens and purples suggests a magical element, neither the illustrations nor the text lead the reader to believe that the magic Maya experiences is anything less than the love and protection of family.
