Song of the Fisherwomen
By Gabriela Mistral
Illustrated by Mercè Galí
Sleep upon the dune // that lifts you and grows you, // hearing the mother sea // that rocks you all the more wildly. Gabriela Mistral's beautiful words about the sea and the fisherwomen are paired in this lovely edition with illustrations by Mercè Galí.

REVIEW
Beauty
This book is truly a beautiful thing. My 1-year-4-month-old daughter loves it — I sing the words like a lullaby and move the book like waves each time I turn the page, and my little one enjoys the images and the song so much that it's a must during the day and at bedtime. We love it!
