Counting Ovejas

(3) PS Illustrated by David Diaz. A child can't sleep for the sound of the clock ticking and tap dripping, so he counts sheep--in English and Spanish--from one to ten. The text is simple and suitably repetitive: "Una oveja blanca. / One white sheep. / ¡Adiós, oveja blanca! / Good-bye, white sheep!" Diaz's dreamy acrylic and pencil paintings create a gentle mood.
