"Picu's family is very poor. In the dry foothills, her mother must feed fourteen people--her kids, her relatives' kids, and the hired hand's kids--every day. One morning Picu, the youngest sister, is sent to get a marrow bone from a faraway neighbor. The bone will add flavor, and nutrition, to the lunchtime soup for all the hungry mouths. Her mother warns her not to dawdle on the two-hour walk, each way, through the wild landscape. But Picu can't help looking at butterflies, sampling cactus fruit, and exploring other delights. She also daydreams about using the marrow bone as a football because her family doesn't have a ball. Will the neighbor let them keep the bone after the soup is made? Will her mother let her play with it, or will it go to one of the older children who work so hard?"--
Autorenporträt
Suniyay Moreno is the name the author has chosen because it is the one given to her by her Quechua grandmother. She was born and lived in the mountains above Santiago del Estero in Argentina where she loved to climb trees barefoot, run after baby goats, and sing songs and make riddles in Quechua—her mother tongue. When she was six she moved to Santiago where she learned Spanish. As a grown-up, she became a librarian so she could climb around the stacks of books and children. She lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and this is her first book. Mariana Chiesa is the author of Migrants and No Time to Play, which have won prizes and arepublished internationally. Her best known books are Migrando and No hay tiempo para jugar which are published and prize winning in many countries but not in English. In 2014 she won the Latin American Illustration Prize given by the University of Palermo. The Youngest Sister is her first book available in English.
