Balam & Lluvia's House

Julio Serrano Echeverría, Yolanda Mosquera (illustrator), translated by Lawrence Schimel

This lively poetry picture book is a collaboration between a Guatemalan writer and a Spanish artist; the translation has won the English PEN Award. The poems capture something of childhood curiosity and discovery, while the mellow illustrations all depict scenes from around the house. A sweet reflection on the playfulness and richness in everyday life.

Ages 3-7
