Product Description
Animal Poems of the Iguazú / Animalario del Iguazú (English and Spanish Edition)
In the magical rainforest of the Iguazu National Park, butterflies are the multicolored flowers of the air. Great dusky swifts watch over the park, and the untamed spirits of jaguars roam the jungle. Spanning three countries Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay the thundering waterfalls and lush green rainforests of the Iguazu have dazzled visitors for centuries, and are now in danger of being lost.
Following the Amerindian oral tradition, award-winning Chicano poet Francisco X. Alarcon lets the animals of the Iguazu speak for themselves in their own soaring, roaring, fluttering voices, and the resulting poems are as urgent as they are beautiful and humorous. Maya Christina Gonzalez's mixed media illustrations bring the colors and textures of the Iguazu rainforest to vibrant life.
