A Song of Frutas

From Pura Belpré Award–winning author Margarita Engle comes a lively, rhythmic picture book about a little girl visiting her grandfather who is a pregonero—a singing street vendor in Cuba—and helping him sell his fruits. As they walk through the streets, they sing the names of each fruit, turning their journey into a musical celebration. The little girl loves joining her grandfather in this vibrant tradition, and even when they are apart, they stay connected through the rhymes and songs they share across the distance, sending each other embraces made of words that soar like songbirds.
