Arroz con leche / Rice Pudding: Un poema para cocinar / A Cooking Poem

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Fernando Vilela. A young boy prepares rice pudding. Using vivid imagery, Argueta describes how the rice sings and the milk becomes a waterfall as it's added to the pot. The text can also serve as a recipe; stages for which an adult's help is necessary are marked. Vilela's blocky, swirling illustrations capture the text's magic.
