In this stunning bilingual picture book from bestselling author Benjamin Alire Sáenz, an old man tells his granddaughter about the nine most beautiful dreams of his life.
En este impactante libro ilustrado bilingüe del exitoso autor Benjamin Alire Sáenz, un anciano le cuenta a su nieta los nueve sueños más hermosos de su vida.
Seventy-eight year-old Octavio Rivera is a beautiful dreamer. And lately he has been visited by some very interesting dreams--dreams about piñatas that spill their treasures before him, revealing kissing turtles, winged pigs, hitchhiking armadillos, and many more fantastic things! He longs to tell someone about his dreams, but who else in his life would understand their full beauty? And then he remembers his young granddaughter Regina, because she too appreciates beautiful and fantastic things. Once he tells her, his heart at rest, Octavio prepares for his siesta, hoping to be blessed with one long, last, lovely dream.
With gorgeous folk art-inspired illustrations and the humor and depth of all Benjamin Alire Sáenz's work, A Perfect Season for Dreaming unfolds the sweet possibilities in relationships between the very old and the very young.
Octavio Rivera, de setenta y ocho años, es un bello soñador. Y últimamente ha sido visitado por algunos sueños muy interesantes: sueños sobre piñatas que derraman sus tesoros ante él, revelando tortugas besándose, cerdos alados, armadillos pidiendo aventones a un festival literario, y muchas más cosas fantásticas! Anhela contarle a alguien sobre sus sueños, pero quién más en su vida entenderÃa toda su belleza? Y luego recuerda a su joven nieta Regina, porque ella también aprecia las cosas bellas y fantásticas. Una vez que él le dice, con el corazón en paz, Octavio se prepara para su siesta, con la esperanza de ser bendecido con un largo, último y hermoso sueño.
Con magnÃficas ilustraciones inspiradas en el arte popular y el humor y la profundidad de toda la obra de Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Un tiempo perfecto para soñar despliega las dulces posibilidades en las relaciones entre los muy viejos y los muy jóvenes.
