![]() ![]() ![]() I have described my work with farm working parents, and the learning I derived from it, in my memoirs, Vivir en dos idiomas. I have described the academic results of sharing high quality children’s books with Migrant parents and inviting them to create books with their children in Pájaro Valley, California in the book A Magical Encounter: Use of Latino Literature in the Classroom. Some of the most heartening experiences of my life have been my work with Migrant Farm Working families. Suni Paz has drawn from her extensive knowledge of Latin American folklore for the inspirational music that turns the poems in this book into memorable songs, an irresistible invitation to listen, to enjoy, to sing along. The author’s many years of work with migrant families inspired this poetic ABC of the fields, in two languages, and Simón Silva’s magnificent illustrations, in bold colors, have created a work of art to be enjoyed by children and adults alike. “Pick of the Lists” American Booksellers AssociationĬalifornia Readers’ Collection, Elementary ListĬommended List, Center for Latin American Studies BOOK DESCRIPTION NCTE Notable Book in Language Arts, National Council of Teachers of English Pura Belpré Honor Book, American Library Association 1997 ![]() NCSS/CBC Notable Book in the area of Social Studies, National Council of Social Studies and the Children’s Book Council Once Upon A World Book Award, Simon Weisenthal Center, 1998 English Translation by Rosalma ZubizarretaĪvailable on CD: with music and voice by Suni Paz RECOGNITIONS ![]()
