From the bellybutton of the moon and other summer poems
This is a colorful book of poetry that follows the childhood memories of Alarcón as he and his family venture back to Mexico each summer. The poems vary from celebrating the wind that blows in the car on the journey down to celebrating the green color of the summer months. The culture of the Mexican-American families that took this journey is celebrated with the bilingual text. It is evident that this collection of poems is authentic to the warm memories of being from two cultures and celebrating both of them for their specific purpose.
This could be used as a wonderful tool for teaching how to write poetry at the elementary level. Students could study how Alarcón create poetry by using one powerful word that creates strong visualization. The construction of vivid yet simple vocabulary to share the joy of summer across cultures is a wonderful literary technique demonstrated in this book.
