SPOTLIGHT BOOK

SOAR IN 4 SELECTED READING

Laughing Tomatoes

by Francisco X. Alarcón

Tomatoes laugh, chiles explode, and tortillas applaud the sun. With joy and tenderness, delight and sadness, Frances X. Alarcón's poems honor life and nature: welcoming the morning sun, remembering his grandmother's songs, paying tribute to children working in the fields, and dreaming of a world filled with gardens.
