Libro de Honor de los Premios Pura Belpré en ilustración
En su debut como autora e ilustradora, Mirelle Ortega comparte su historia, empezando por la finca de piñas de su familia en México, donde aprendió el verdadero significado de la magia.
Â
Aprendà que la magia no es buena ni mala, simplemente es. A veces da, a veces quita. A veces la vida florece, a veces se marchita.
Â
Una niña que crece en una finca de piñas en México nos descubre el verdadero significado de la palabra magia en este libro ilustrado, un volumen verdaderamente mágico sobre el cambio y la transformación âtanto sobre aquellas cosas que no podemos controlar, como los desastres naturales y las pérdidas, como las que sà están en nuestro poder. La magia puede transformar la tierra en piñas, las semillas en árboles, la lana en mantas, las palabras en historias, las páginas en blanco en imágenes.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Pura Belpré Youth Illustration Honor Book

I learned that magic isnât good or bad, it just is. Sometimes it gives, sometimes it takes. Sometimes life blossoms, sometimes it wilts.
Â
Growing up on a pineapple farm in Mexico, a girl discovers the true meaning of the word magic in this truly magical picture book about change and transformation of all kindsâwhat we canât control, such as natural disasters and loss, and what we can. Magic can transform dirt into pineapples, seeds into trees, wool into blankets, words into stories, blank pages into picturesâa story into a picture book.
