About the Book:
Arenas y trinos: Ábecedario del río / Sand and Song: The ABCs of the River is a collection of poems with titles starting from A all the way through Z. Each poem describes an aspect of a river that cuts through a wood — silent water, the different kinds of trees, dipping your toes in the water, and a dragonfly fluttering above the water. Engross yourself in the sights and sounds of nature with these lilting poems from the heart.
