(4) K-3 Illustrated by Elizabeth Gomez. "Here in the city there are wonders everywhere / Here mangoes / come in cans / In El Salvador / they grew on trees." These bilingual poems depict the poet's childhood in San Francisco's Mission District, where he and his family lived after escaping the civil war in El Salvador. Gómez's illustrations blend dreams and reality, bringing depth to the sometimes pedestrian poems.
