This anthology of poems introduces readers to an eclectic mix of new and established Latin American poets. The beautifully illustrated collection from 19 Latin American countries features traditional pre-Columbian work that is represented alongside contemporary poetry, and a significant portion of the book comes from the indigenous community. Divided into four groups — Magic Recipes, Traditional Songs and Cooings, The Cricket Sings in the Mountain, and Words and Books — the poems range from celebrations of nature and nonsense to musings on politics and magic. The book includes the work of Roque Dalton, Humberto A'kabal, and Emilia Gallego.

Messengers of Rain: And Other Poems from Latin America
This book is featured on Halloween Reads for Kids @
This is a book full of chilling stories and urban legends which are sure to get you trembling. The illustrations are incredibly creepy!
Footsteps, Such Things Happen, The Wolf Girl, and The Trouble are a few of our favorites. It also contains one of our favorite scary poems titled You May Be The Next… which also includes the short tune with notes to sing or play.
You May Be The Next…
Did you ever think as a hearse goes by
That you may be the next to die?
They wrap you up in a big white sheet
From your head down to your feet.
And the worms crawl in and the worms crawl out,
In your stomach and out your snout,
And your eyes fall out and your teeth decay-
And that is the end of a perfect day.
These are best read out loud in a group setting, in my opinion, but can be read alone as well. The stories in this book are still creepy to me, even as an adult! Great to have on the Halloween shelf.
