Alberto Blanco is one of Mexico's most outstanding poets. He is the award-winning author of over 20 books, including The Desery Mermaid published by Children's Book Press.
Rodolfo Morales was one of Mexico's greatest artists of his time. His works can be seen in museums and galleries around the world. He created the collage pictures in Angel's Kite especially for Alberto Blanco's story, which was in turn inspired by Rodolfo's own childhood as a kite maker in his beloved town of Ocotl�n, in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico.
"[A]n excellent choice for sharing aloud. The bilingual text is a natural for two youngsters to read simultaneously. Collage pictures by Morales, a Mexican artist, round out the tale." -- School Library Journal "Resonant imagery and glowing illustrations give this quiet tale a potent folkloric aura." -- Kirkus Reviews "[E[verything was created to make the whole book a work of art." -- American Booksellers AssociationAm�ricas Award - Consortium of Latin American Studies Programs
