Beschreibung

El autor describe esta historia como quijotesca porque cree que está bien soñar en grande incluso cuando otros ven tus sueños como tontos, poco prácticos o improbables. Resumen: Una alentadora y divertida historia quijotesca bilingüe presenta a un entrañable pollito que, a pesar de todos los consejos en sentido contrario, está convencido de que puede volar. Cada página contiene narrativa en español a la izquierda y narrativa en inglés a la derecha y abunda en coloridas ilustraciones del pollito, su mamá gallina y sus amigos de la granja, Don Gallo el gallo y Don Chango el pájaro negro. Pío Pío es un pequeño pájaro con grandes sueños: volar a lo alto de los árboles y comer de la deliciosa pana que allí crece. A través de un encuentro afortunado que lanza a Pío Pío al "vuelo", su sueño se hace realidad para la sorpresa y asombro de su familia y amigos y refuerza la creencia de que está bien "soñar en grande" y que "nada es imposible". Un glosario informativo de referencias históricas, culturales y lingüísticas completa este sólido libro. El lenguaje utilizado es entretenido y memorable, lo que lo convierte en un gran recurso para quienes aprenden español o inglés. Edad recomendada: 4-12 y más The author describes this story as quixotic because he believes it is ok to dream big even when others see your dreams as foolish, impractical or unlikely. Summary: An encouraging and humorous bilingual quixotic story features an endearing young chick who, despite all advice to the contrary, is convinced he can fly. Each page spread contains Spanish narrative on left and English narrative on right and abounds in colorful illustrations of the little chick, his mother hen, and his neighborhood friends Don Gallo the rooster and Don Chango the blackbird. Pío Pío (Pea-Oh, Pea-Oh) is a small bird with big dreams to fly to the top of the trees and eat the delicious breadfruit growing there. Through a fortunate encounter that launches Pío Pío into "flight", his dream becomes a reality much to the surprise and amazement of his family and friends and reinforces the belief that it is okay to "dream big" and that "nothing is impossible". An informative Glossary of historical, cultural, and linguistic references rounds out this robust book. The language used is entertaining and memorable, which makes this a great resource for those learning Spanish or English.

He is the founder and Director of the El Quixote Festival (2015), an annual seven-month long statewide collaborative festival that commemorates the writer and Spanish literary giant Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra and 400 years of "Don Quixote" two books that changed his life.
