SoƱadores / Yuyi Morales ; traducciĆ³n de Teresa Mlawer.
"En 1994, Yuyi Morales dejĆ³ su hogar en Xalapa, MĆ©xico, para emigrar a Estados Unidos con su hijo pequeƱo. Aunque dejĆ³ atrĆ”s casi todas sus pertenencias, no llegĆ³ con las manos vacĆas. Trajo consigo su fortaleza, su trabajo, su pasiĆ³n, sus esperanzas y sueƱos ... y sus historias. El nuevo y magnĆfico libro de Yuyi Morales, SoƱadores, se centra en la bĆŗsqueda por encontrar un hogar en un nuevo lugar. El trayecto de Yuyi y su hijo Kelly no fue fĆ”cil, ya que ella no hablaba inglĆ©s en esa Ć©poca. Pero, juntos, descubrieron un lugar desconocido e increĆble: la biblioteca pĆŗblica. AllĆ, libro a libro, descifraron la lengua de esta nueva tierra y formaron en ella su hogar. SoƱadores es un homenaje a los migrantes y a todo lo que traen con ellos, y aportan, cuando dejan sus paĆses. Es una historia de familia. Una historia que nos recuerda que todos somos soƱadores que llevamos nuestros propios regalos donde quiera que vayamos. Bella y poderosa en todo momento, pero especialmente de una urgente premura hoy en dĆa en que el futuro de los dreamers es incierto, esta es una historia actual y eterna."--Amazon.
"This Spanish edition of Caldecott Honoree Yuyi Morales's Dreamers, published simultaneously with the English edition, is the author's own immigration story and a tribute to the transformative power of hope and reading. In 1994, 25-year-old Yuyi Morales traveled from her home in Xalapa, Mexico, to the San Francisco Bay Area with her two-month-old son, Kelly, in order to secure permanent residency in this country. Her passage was not easy and she spoke no English whatsoever. But due in large measure to help and guidance provided by area children's librarians, she learned English as her young son learned to read, through the picture books they shared together. In spare, lyrical verse and the vibrant images for which she has become legendary, Yuyi has created a lasting testament to the journeys, both physical and metaphorical, that she and Kelly have taken together in the intervening years. Beautiful and powerful at any time, but given particular urgency as the status of our own Dreamers becomes uncertain, this is a story that is both topical and timeless"-- Provided by publisher.
