Round Is a Tortilla: A Book of Shapes

40 pp. | Chronicle | April, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4521-0616-8 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by John Parra. "Round are campanas / that chime and ring. / Round are nests / where swallows sing." This rhyming text features occasional Spanish words as it celebrates Latino culture and shapes found in everyday life. Parra's warm folk-art-like illustrations feature children and families cooking, playing, and partying. The images invite repeat viewing to find the different shapes within. A glossary of Spanish words is appended.
