Call Me Tree / Llámame árbol

24 pp. | Lee/Children's | September, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-89239-294-0 $17.95
(4) K-3 Translated by Dana Goldberg. A young boy imagines himself as a tree and muses that despite growing in different places, all trees have things in common. Although the poem's English text has a pleasantly gentle flow marked by rhyme and alliteration, the Spanish translation feels more stilted. Gonzalez blends watercolors, inks, and colored pencils to create soft-toned art that matches the soothing subject matter.
