by Jorge Argueta

A Movie in My Pillow Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This collection of poems for children are written from the point of view of Jorgito, who lives in San Francisco's Mission District, but who has not forgotten his native El Salvador. His memories of the volcanoes, his grandmother's stories, and the cornmeal "pupusas" form a patchwork of dreams that becomes a movie in his pillow. Full-color illustrations.

Synopsis:

A young boy with two homelands and a delightful sense of wonder comes to life in Jorge Arguetas first collection of poems for children. Young Jorgito lives in San Franciscos Mission District, but he hasnt forgotten his native El Salvador. He recalls the volcanoes, the tasty cornmeal pupusas, and his grandmothers stories. As he changes from timid newcomer to seasoned city dweller, Jorgitos memories and new adventures form a patchwork of dreams — the movie in his pillow — that is perfectly suited to his new bicultural identity.
