Agua, Aguita / Water, Little Water

Parents need to know that Agua, Agüita / Water, Little Water, by Jorge Tetl Argueta and illustrated by Felipe Ugalde Alcantara, is a story written in the form of a poem. Agüita is a water droplet that takes us on a journey of its life cycle -- from its beginnings in the oceans and on the petals of flowers to rivers, lakes, and oceans. The poetic words and vibrant illustrations show how water nourishes the earth and brings life to living things. The book is written in Spanish and English. Text is featured on the left page -- Spanish at the top of the page and English at the bottom. Each right page features a colorful illustration that depicts Agüita's journey through the life cycle. At the end of the book, you will find the poem written in Nahuatl, the language of the Pipil-Nahua people of El Salvador in Central America, as Argueta is a native Salvadoran and Pipil-Nahua Indian. You can read more about the author on the last page of the book.
