Gathering the Sun: An Alphabet in Spanish and English
Written by Alma Flor Ada
Illustrated by Simon Silva
Published by HarperCollins Espanol
In simple words and sun-drenched paintings, Alma Flor Ada and Simon Silva take us into the fields and orchards, and into the lives of the people who work them. Simple poems in Spanish and English, one for each letter of the Spanish alphabet, describe the wonder of the vegetable and fruit farms. Together, the poems and the rich illustrations celebrate the glory of nature and the hearts of all who dedicate their lives to working the land.
