Summary

Libro de Honor de los Premios Purá Belpré en ilustración

En su debut como autora e ilustradora, Mirelle Ortega comparte su historia, empezando por la finca de piñas de su familia en México, donde aprendió el verdadero significado de la magia.

 
Aprendí que la magia no es buena ni mala, simplemente es. A veces da, a veces quita. A veces la vida florece, a veces se marchita.
 
Una niña que crece en una finca de piñas en México nos descubre el verdadero significado de la palabra magia en este libro ilustrado, un volumen verdaderamente mágico sobre el cambio y la transformación —tanto sobre aquellas cosas que no podemos controlar, como los desastres naturales y las pérdidas, como las que sí están en nuestro poder. La magia puede transformar la tierra en piñas, las semillas en árboles, la lana en mantas, las palabras en historias, las páginas en blanco en imágenes.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Pura Belpré Youth Illustration Honor Book

In her debut as author and illustrator, Mirelle Ortega shares her own story of growing up near her family’s pineapple farm in Mexico, where she learned the true meaning of magic.

I learned that magic isn’t good or bad, it just is. Sometimes it gives, sometimes it takes. Sometimes life blossoms, sometimes it wilts.
 
Growing up on a pineapple farm in Mexico, a girl discovers the true meaning of the word magic in this truly magical picture book about change and transformation of all kinds—what we can’t control, such as natural disasters and loss, and what we can. Magic can transform dirt into pineapples, seeds into trees, wool into blankets, words into stories, blank pages into pictures—a story into a picture book.
