Description
Gabriela is super excited when her gift from Titi Sylvia finally arrives. She loves the colorful, glittery butterfly wings! She stands in the middle of her room and flaps and flaps her new wings, but nothing happens. She jumps off her bed, vigorously moving the wings up and down, but again, nada. She hops down the hallway and the stairs, but she still can't fly! Disappointed, Gabriela goes to the garage, digs into her father's toolbox and sets about trying to fix the broken butterfly wings. Maybe she can add a battery or an engine. Her father has a better idea, though, and encourages her to close her eyes and think about where she would like to fly. Soon she is envisioning El Yunque, a rainforest on the island of Puerto Rico that is full of tall green trees, humming waterfalls and chattering birds. She can even hear the coquí, a tiny tree frog that lives only on the island, singing its special song: coquí-coquí. Demonstrating the joy found in using one's imagination, this bilingual picture book depicts a young girl drawing on her senses-smell, hearing, sight-to return to a beloved place. Kids will appreciate the beauty of the rainforest's birds, frogs and other natural wonders while admiring a strong girl willing to create solutions to problems.
Description
Gabriela está súper emocionada cuando finalmente llega su regalo de Titi Sylvia. ¡Le encantan las coloridas y brillantes alas de mariposa! Se para en medio de su habitación y aletea y aletea sus nuevas alas, pero no pasa nada. Ella salta de su cama, moviendo vigorosamente las alas hacia arriba y hacia abajo, pero de nuevo, nada. Salta por el pasillo y las escaleras, ¡pero todavía no puede volar! Decepcionada, Gabriela va al garaje, busca en la caja de herramientas de su padre y se pone a tratar de arreglar las alas rotas de la mariposa. Tal vez pueda agregar una batería o un motor. Sin embargo, su padre tiene una idea mejor y la anima a cerrar los ojos y pensar a dónde le gustaría volar. Pronto se imagina El Yunque, una selva tropical en la isla de Puerto Rico que está llena de árboles altos y verdes, cascadas que zumban y pájaros parlanchines. Incluso puede escuchar al coquí, una diminuta rana arbórea que vive solo en la isla, cantando su canción especial: coquí-coquí. Demostrando la alegría que se encuentra al usar la imaginación, este libro ilustrado bilingüe muestra a una niña que recurre a sus sentidos (olfato, oído, vista) para regresar a un lugar amado. Los niños apreciarán la belleza de las aves, las ranas y otras maravillas naturales de la selva mientras admiran a una niña fuerte dispuesta a crear soluciones a los problemas.
