A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This is a winsome story about a child's love and the power of his imagination-Little Diego loves his grandfather, but they don't see each other often because Pap Diego lives in Mexico and Little Diego lives in Texas across the border. One day Little Diego's father gives him a pile of comic books that his father had when he was growing up. In those comic books Little Diego discovers Superman. Maybe if he was like Superman, then he could fly off to see his grandfather in Mexico! So Little Diego tells his mother that he wants a Superman outfit for his birthday. His parents buy him one, but, of course, Little Diego cannot fly. He's heart-broken. Still, because he has had the daring to imagine, a wonderful event occurs and he enjoys one of his happiest birthdays ever!

Un mot de l'éditeur :

Our good friend Ben Senz first published A Gift from Pap Diego as a Christmas story in the El Paso Times on Christmas Day, 1994. We saw the story in the paper and wondered if Ben would consider making it into a bilingual children's book, with the Spanish and the English side by side on the same page. That way children (and adults) could use Pap Diego to learn a second language. Then, as the three of us talked about it some more, we decided it would be better for Little Diego to get his wonderful gift on his birthday, instead of on Christmas. That way the book would be interesting to kids all through the year and not just at Christmas.
