By Gabriela Mistral
Selected by Cristóbal Joannon
Illustrated by Constanza Bravo

Universal themes: like love, motherhood, nature and identity.

Powerful language: poems that capture the beauty of everyday life and explore the complexities of the human condition.

An intimate journey: Gabriela Mistral's poetry is an intimate, moving journey that invites reflection on life, death, and hope.

This is a book for reading aloud and memorizing. Some of its poems will rock to sleep the child we hope will drift off in their crib or in our arms. Others will send hand-holding children spinning with laughter. The mysteries and joys of childhood run through these pages, illustrated by Constanza Bravo with great delicacy. A book that connects us directly to our own childhood, confirming that we never fully leave it behind.
