When Mamacita chose to call me Estrellita, / it was her
way of imagining a little bit / of starlight, deep down in
that cavern / where only rare streaks of day or night /
could reach--now, Lucero and I will be / Morning Star and
Little Star, / a lit-from-within racing team!
A young girl stricken with rickets and her mother
face the aftermath of the Spanish-American War, the
challenges of a new century and innovative teachers.
Dreams realized and dreams crushed exploring the
freedoms only a magical horse can offer.
Award winning author Margarita Engle brings a tale of
history mixed with a touch of fantasy.
Cuando Mamacita decidió nombrarme Estrellita / fue
su modo de imaginar un poco / la luz de las estrellas, en
el fondo de esa cueva / a la que solo llegaban / escasas
luces del dÃa o de la noche. / Ahora Lucero y yo seremos
/ el caballo del alba y la pequeña estrella: / un equipo de
carreras iluminado por dentro!
Una chica joven lisiado con ricketts y su madre enfrentan
las secuelas de la Guerra Hispano-Americana, los desafÃos
de un nuevo siglo y profesores innovadores.
Sueños Realidad y sueños aplastados explorando las
libertades sólo pueAden ofrecer un caballo mágico.
Autor galardonado Margarita Engle trae un cuento de
historia mezclada con un toque de fantasÃa.
