""Here in the city there are wonders everywhere / Here mangoes / come in cans / In El Salvador / they grew on trees."" These bilingual poems depict the poet's childhood in San Francisco's Mission District, where he and his family lived after escaping the civil war in El Salvador. G=mez's illustrations blend dreams and reality, bringing depth to the sometimes pedestrian poems. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
