Iguanas in the Snow and Other Winter Poems: Iguanas En La Nieve Y Otros Poemas de Invierno (Bilingual English/Spanish)

by Francisco X Alarcon (Author) Maya Christina Gonzalez (Illustrator)

Reading Level: 4th − 5th Grade

In their final collection of seasonal poetry, poet Francisco X. Alarcón and artist Maya Christina Gonzalez invite us to celebrate winter by the seashore, in the magic city of San Francisco, and in the ancient redwood forests of the Sierras.

We see a city where people are bridges to each other and children sing poetry in two languages. A family frolic in the snow reminds the poet of the iguanas playing by his grandmother's house in Mexico. We are dazzled by the promise of seedling redwoods like all children destined to be the ancestors of tomorrow. 

En su colección final de poesía de temporada, el poeta Francisco X. Alarcón y la artista Maya Christina González nos invitan a celebrar el invierno a la orilla del mar, en la mágica ciudad de San Francisco y en los milenarios bosques de secuoyas de las Sierras.

Vemos una ciudad donde las personas son puentes entre sí y los niños cantan poesía en dos idiomas. Una familia retozando en la nieve le recuerda al poeta a las iguanas jugando en la casa de su abuela en México. Estamos deslumbrados por la promesa de plántulas de secuoyas como todos los niños destinados a ser los ancestros del mañana.
