Descriere The Tree Is Older Than You Are: A Bilingual Gathering of Poems & Stories from Mex - Naomi Shihab Nye

This gathering of poems and stories, told in both the original Spanish and translated English, transcends borders as it invites readers into a shared world of ideas, visions and dreams. Sixty-four great Mexican writers and painters are collected here, including Rosario Castellanos, Alberta Blanco, Octavio Paz, and Julio Galan. \nA beautiful collection of bilingual poems and stories from Mexico, paired with paintings by Mexican artists. \nRemember, the tree is older than you are and you might find stories in its branches. \n \nSo begins this wondrous collection of poems and stories from Mexico that invites us to imagine a car as sweet as strawberry ice cream, skin that kisses air and breeze-waving hair, a rabbit with little ears, a frog that runs instead of hops, and taxis filled with ghosts. Richly colored paintings interspersed throughout express not just the meaning of the words, but the magic within them.\n
