Synopsis
"Gotas de sudor le caian por el rostro. Su estomago se contrajo en un nudo. Agua lodosa golpeaba los flancos del bote haciendolo oscilar suavemente.
En el aire, caliente y opresivo, flotaba el suave perfume de las flores. Las ranas croaban canciones, y libelulas revoloteaban a su alrededor.
Hoy era el dia tan esperado.
Seria lo bastante grande, lo bastante fuerte, lo bastante valiente?"
En este conmovedor relato, un muchacho hace frente a sus miedos, y su abuelo enfermo le desvela los secretos del pantano.
Synopsis
A boy and his ailing grandfather pole a small boat out into the Louisiana bayou. Suddenly, they spot Boots, a female alligator the grandfather saved from poachers years ago. How will the boy face the danger in learning to take care of this wild creature? Strikingly illustrated with artwork that combines oil painting and computer imaging, El guardian del pantano is a scary and satisfying tale that carries a strong environmental message.
