Illustrated by
Elizabeth Orton Jones.
This Spanish-language version of Field's 1945 Caldecott Medal winner Prayer for a Child is nicely translated; the text has its own internal rhyme scheme rather than simply aping the English original. With its small format and thick pages, this board book is perfect for Spanish-speaking parents to share with their young children.
