(3) K-3 Translated by Dolores Prida. Illustrated by Fabian Negrin. This is a Spanish edition of Alvarez's The Secret Footprints, a retelling based on a Dominican folktale about a tribe of people whose feet point backward so as not to reveal their location. The translation is nicely done, and the language provides a real sense of the storytelling tradition. The vibrantly colored illustrations give the tale both a sense of place and a dreamlike quality.
