Dalia's Wondrous Hair / El maravilloso cabello de Dalia

32 pp. | Piñata | May, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-1-55885-789-6 $17.95
(4) K-3 Translated by Gabriela Baeza Ventura. When Dalia wakes up, her hair has grown "tall and thick as a Cuban royal palm tree." She gathers leaves, mud, and other treasures and turns her hair into a tree. The next morning butterflies fly out; she's a "BUTTERFLY TREE!!" Enhanced by lush illustrations, the Spanish and English texts don't make much sense but are full of references to Cuba's natural world. Glos.
