Description
La madre del joven Reň le ha enviado un nuevo par de zapatos desde Estados Unidos. Le encantan sus zapatos nuevos. "Caminan por donde yo camino. Saltan cada vez que yo salto. Corren tan r̀pido como yo. Siempre cruzamos la l̕nea de meta al mismo tiempo". Reň -con sus zapatos nuevos- y su padre emprendieron el largo viaje para encontrarse con su madre en Estados Unidos. Se despide de sus amigos en El Salvador, y "Uno, dos, tres, mis zapatos y yo estamos listos para partir". El viaje es dif̕cil. Toman autobuses y caminan a trav̌s de El Salvador, a Guatemala y luego a M̌xico. Sus zapatos nuevos pierden brillo, se vuelven sucios y grises. Se convierten en elefantes, empujando contra el viento; coches de carreras, perros hambrientos que huyen; zapatos de nataci̤n para escapar de las inundaciones; y submarinos, navegando a trav̌s del barro pegajoso. Cuando aparecen agujeros en las suelas de sus zapatos, su padre no deja que se rinda. "Reň, mi chico fuerte, queremos estar con mam̀". Compartiendo sus propias experiencias, el conmovedor libro ilustrado biling|e de Reň Colato La̕nez da vida a las experiencias de muchos nįos pequęos que hacen el arduo viaje desde Centroam̌rica a los Estados Unidos en busca de una vida mejor.
Description
Young René's mother has sent him a new pair of shoes from the United States. He loves his new shoes. "They walk everywhere I walk. They jump every time I jump. They run as fast as me. We always cross the finish line at the same time." René-with his new shoes-and his father set off on the long journey to meet his mother in the United States. He says goodbye to his friends in El Salvador, and "Uno, dos, tres, my shoes and I are ready to go." The trip is difficult. They take buses and walk across El Salvador, into Guatemala and then into Mexico. His brand-new shoes lose their shine, turning dirty and gray. They become elephants, pushing against the wind; race cars, fleeing hungry dogs; swim shoes, escaping floods; and submarines, navigating through sticky mud. When holes appear on the soles of his shoes, his father won't let him give up. "René, my strong boy, we want to be with Mamá." Sharing his own experiences, René Colato Laínez's moving bilingual picture book brings to life the experiences of many young children who make the arduous journey from Central America to the United States in search of a better life.
