Angel's Kite: La Estrella de Angel (Bilingual English/Spanish)
by Alberto Blanco (Author) Rodolfo Morales (Illustrator)
No one knows what happened to the bell in the church tower. Did the priest sell the bell to a foreign collector? Did revolutionaries melt it down and turn the metal into cannons? Or was it magic?
Whatever the reason, the town hasn't been the same since. To heal the pain of this loss, Angel, the young kite maker, creates a beautiful kite that shows the whole town-including the missing church bell. After an exciting chase and a lonely night on a cold mountaintop with his three loyal dogs, Angel succeeds in bringing back the bell to his beloved town.
Nadie sabe qué pasó con la campana de la torre de la iglesia. ¿El sacerdote vendió la campana a un coleccionista extranjero? ¿Lo fundieron los revolucionarios y convirtieron el metal en cañones? ¿O fue magia?
Cualquiera que sea la razón, la ciudad no ha sido la misma desde entonces. Para curar el dolor de esta pérdida, Ángel, el joven fabricante de cometas, crea una hermosa cometa que muestra todo el pueblo, incluida la campana de la iglesia desaparecida. Después de una emocionante persecución y una noche solitaria en la fría cima de una montaña con sus tres leales perros, Angel logra traer de vuelta la campana a su querido pueblo.
