A Song of Frutas

From Pura Belpr Awardwinning author Margarita Engle comes a lively, rhythmic picture book about a little girl visiting her grandfather who is a pregoneroa singing street vendor in Cubaand helping him sell his frutas.

When we visit mi abuelo, I help him sell
frutas, singing the names of each fruit
as we walk, our footsteps like drumbeats,
our hands like maracas, shaking

The little girl loves visiting her grandfather in Cuba and singing his special songs to sell all kinds of fruit: mango, limn, naranja, pia, and more! Even when they're apart, grandfather and granddaughter can share rhymes between their countries like un abrazoa hugmade of words carried on letters that soar across the distance like songbirds.
