Con el sol en los ojos / With the Sun in My Eyes

(4) K-3 Translated by Janet Glass. Illustrated by Morteza Zahedi. Presented in both Spanish and English, short free-verse poems detail such small, memorable moments as feet in a lake or a walk alone. The best of the English translations preserve rhythmic flow despite the language shift, but some fall flat. Recurring imagery of suns and celestial objects is mirrored by Zahedi's stylized mixed-media illustrations and by the yellow or blue page colors.
