Tortillitas para mama: And Other Nursery Rhymes Book

Duérmete mi niña Duérmete mi sol,

Duérmete pedazo De mi corazón.

Sleep, my child,

Sleep, my sun,

Sleep, my little piece Of my heart.

Young children will treasure this collection of Latin-American nursery rhymes. Preserved through oral tradition, these rhymes have been passed on from generation to generation. They have been lovingly gathered and translated for this book and many are accompanied by instructions for finger play. Illuminated by the beautiful paintings of Barbara Cooney, they are now available for a whole new audience to enjoy.
