Papa And Me

Description

When I'm with my papa, I can fly like an eagle, an aguila. I can climb alto, high, in a tree, And I am the ganador, the winner, of many races. When I am with my papa, I hear the best cuentos, stories, and I give him the biggest abrazos, hugs. A young boy and his papa may speak both Spanish and English, but the most important language they speak is the language of love. Here, Arthur Dorros portrays the close bond between father and son, with lush paintings by Rudy Gutierrez.

Arthur Dorros views being a writer like being a traveling detective. He finds ideas all around. He learned Spanish while living in Latin America, and many of his stories, such as Abuelo, grow from those experiences. Arthur is the author of many books for children, including Julio's Magic, a CLASP Americas Award Commended Title; Papa and Me, a Pura Belpre Honor Book; and the popular Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science book Ant Cities. He lives in Seattle, Washington.
