Micaela

A bilingual picture book where a young poet learns that the most beautiful poems are the ones found in the heart.Micaela wants to write poems-happy ones, sad ones, funny ones, mysterious ones-and she wants to write them in Spanish... perhaps in English too. With a gentle nudge from her grandmother Merceditas, she begins to discover that poems are not searched for in books but found in the heart.Each poem appears in both Spanish and English on the same page-not translated, but reimagined in each language-alongside Adalucía's vibrant collage illustrations. Through Micaela's voice, readers encounter the living language of Latino children in the United States, where Spanish and English often dance together in the same sentence.This picture book is the children's companion to Adalucía's awardwinning novel Micaela, exploring many of the same characters and emotions through poetry. The poems mirror the feelings found in the novel's chapters, inviting readers of all ages to discover the joy of language and culture.Wake Up to Poetry!
