From
the imagination of poet Francisco X. Alarcón comes Laughing
Tomatoes and Other Spring Poems, a playful and moving collection of
twenty poems in English and Spanish. Tomatoes laugh, chiles explode, and
tortillas applaud the sun! With joy and tenderness, delight and sadness,
Alarcón's poems honor the wonders of life and nature: welcoming
the morning sun, remembering his grandmother's songs, paying tribute to
children working in the fields, and sharing his dream of a world filled
with gardens. Artist Maya Christina Gonzalez invites us to experience
the poems with her lively cast of characters—including a spirited
grandmother, four vivacious children, and playful pets who tease and delight.
Follow them from page to page as they bring each poem to colorful life.
