Argueta, Jorge Tetl

Agua, Agüita / Water, Little Water

(3) K-3 Translated by Gabriela Baeza Ventura. Illustrated by Felipe Ugalde Alcántara. Poet Argueta has created a trilingual homage to the importance of water for life. His free verse poem highlights the water cycle from water's perspective beside Alcántara's verdant gouache paintings with fluid and rounded forms. Each spread includes a stanza in Spanish and English; a Nahuat translation (the language of Argueta's native Pipil-Nahua Indians of El Salvador) of the entire poem is appended.
