Not Far from Here - Armendia-Sánchez, Nydia

. .

Résumé :
Mam?a tells her children a story that began when their pap?a was a ni?no, not far from here. Their abuelitas told stories of their antepasados, and their abuelo, a blacksmith, taught their pap?a how to make art from earth and fire. When abuelo died, pap?a took all those lessons to heart and crossed la frontera to el norte to follow his sue?nos. There, he worked and overcame barriers, known to many immigrants alike, to forge his own obra maestra: a familia and a future in which anything is possible. Debut author Nydia Armendia-S?anchez relays a story of immigration, creativity, and comunidad through a translanguage text that moves naturally from English to espa?nol and back in a manner that will be familiar to many second and third generations of Latine families--and evocative to immigrant families of any heritage. Brilliantly brought to life by Devon Holzwarth's rich, imaginative illustrations, this warm abrazo of a book features a glossary of Spanish words.-- Provided by publisher....
