Flutter & Hum / Aleteo y zumbido: Animal Poems / Poemas de animales

(2) K-3 Written first in Spanish then translated into English by the (non-native Spanish speaker) author, each of these animal poems is intricately connected to its corresponding gouache painting, with additional, thematic words found throughout the pictures. For example, in "Fish / El pez," a boy sleeps on a boat that floats above fish swimming in a sea of lulling words: linger, flow; luna, burbuja.
