A bilingual poetry collection by the late Francisco X. Alarcon, acclaimed Chicano poet, celebrating the days of the week and everyday childhood experiences.
Una coleccion bilinguee de poesia del difunto Francisco X. Alarcon, aclamado poeta chicano, que celebra los dias de la semana y las experiencias cotidianas de la infancia.
Get ready for a bilingual collection of poems that takes us through the week day by day! Children spend Sunday visiting their grandparents, play with school friends on Monday, daydream on Tuesday, eat popcorn at the local market on Wednesday, and more, until we arrive at Saturday, when they get to play nonstop all day. Along the way, we also learn how the names of the seven days came to be.
Partly based on the real life experiences of Alarcon's own family, this festive, celebratory collection of poems highlights the daily life of children while also honoring the experiences of the poet's Latino family in the United States. With their vibrant illustrations, artist Maya Gonzalez has created a loving tribute to childhood, to family, and to beloved poet Francisco Alarcon.
!Preparate para una coleccion de poemas bilinguee que nos lleva a traves de la semana dia a dia! Los ninos pasan el domingo visitando a sus abuelos, juegan con los amigos de la escuela el lunes, suenan despiertos el martes, comen palomitas de maiz en el mercado local el miercoles y mas, hasta que llegamos al sabado, cuando se ponen a jugar sin parar todo el dia. En el camino, tambien aprendemos como llegaron a ser los nombres de los siete dias.
Basada en parte en las experiencias de la vida real de la propia familia de Alarcon, esta coleccion de poemas festivos destaca la vida cotidiana de los ninos y al mismo tiempo honra las experiencias de la familia latina del poeta en los Estados Unidos. Con sus vibrantes ilustraciones, artista Maya Gonzalez ha creado un amoroso tributo a la infancia, a la familia y al amado poeta Francisco Alarcon.
