Call Me Tree / Llámame árbol

(4) K-3 Translated by Dana Goldberg. A young boy imagines himself as a tree and muses that despite growing in different places, all trees have things in common. Although the poem's English text has a pleasantly gentle flow marked by rhyme and alliteration, the Spanish translation feels more stilted. Gonzalez blends watercolors, inks, and colored pencils to create soft-toned art that matches the soothing subject matter.
