La plaza de los amigos

Frog's physiology does not permit him to enjoy winter, but his friends help him to make the best of the cold weather.

As her grandmother's health declines, a young girl begins to lovingly take the lead in their cozy shared autumn traditions. Poetic prose paired with evocative illustrations by Mexican illustrator Claudia Navarro make for a beautiful celebration of life and a gentle introduction to the death of a loved one.

Elements of magical realism turn a grandmother/grandson day of fishing into an extraordinary experience. When this duo casts out their lines, they catch some fish and a snapping turtle.

The young boy learns that life is an adventure filled with the magic of possibility.
