The Spanish text is like a beautiful poem, with the father’s words bringing calm and patience to Muriel when she needs them most. . . A magical Spanish picture book that is a must have.–School Library Journal, starred review Avocado seeds and slow growing! A young girl’s impatience turns to wonder as she and her avocado tree gradually change and grow in this story inspired by Israeli artist Taltal Levi’s childhood. Semillas de aguacate y el crecimiento lento! La impaciencia de una niña se convierte en asombro mientras su árbol de aguacate y ella misma cambian y crecen paulatinamente en esta historia inspirado en la infancia propia de la artista israelí Taltal Levi. Muriel is sulking—she celebrated her birthday yesterday under the old avocado tree, but today she’s not even a little bit taller! Dad tells Muriel a secret: She is like the pit of an avocado, he explains, small and full of magic. Together they put an avocado seed in a glass of water by the window and watch as both Muriel and her avocado plant grow, take root, and eventually bring new life. Avocados are ubiquitous and plucked straight from the tree in Taltal Levi’s native country, Israel, as well as throughout Latin America. In her third book, Taltal Levi uses warm, earthy colors to tell a personal yet universal story about the magic of growth. Includes instructions for growing your own avocado tree! Muriel está de mal humor: ayer celebró su cumpleaños bajo el viejo árbol de aguacate, pero hoy está más alta–¡ni un poquito! Papá le cuenta a Muriel un secreto: Ella es como una semilla de aguacate, chiquita pero llena de magia. Juntos, colocan en la ventana una semilla de aguacate en un vaso de agua y observan cómo tanto Muriel como su planta de aguacate crecen, echan raíces y finalmente engendran nueva vida. Los aguacates están en todos partes y se recogen directamente del árbol en el país natal de Taltal Levi, Israel, así como por toda América Latina. En su tercer libro, Taltal Levi utiliza colores cálidos para contar una historia personal pero universal sobre la magia del crecimiento. ¡Incluye instrucciones para cultivar tu propio árbol de aguacate!
