A Movie in My Pillow/Una pelicula en mi almohada

This is a beautiful book that shows Pipil (indigenous people) culture while telling a cute story. I recommend this book for the wonderful story and a great chance to teach children about how it feels to be an immigrant in the US. Although I couldn't read the Spanish translation on each page, the students in my class loved hearing the story. If you know someone from El Salvador, this author's books make a great gift.

I'm a teacher and bought the book to show the different cultures in our classroom. The kids from El Salvador loved and felt proud of sharing their birthplace with the rest of the classmates. The book is wonderful at touching on the topic of immigration. It was a phenomenal way to help my students appreciate other cultures.

What a great book to use when teaching poetry! I love the illustrations and how all poems are in Spanish and English!

I teach Children's Literature and this particular book is always popular. One, this poet is from El Salvador and I don't many poets from that country for children. This bilingual book is lovely The words swim among the fitting illustrations. Multicultural literature, poetry, immigration, growing up are some of its themes- as is the magic of memory and language. This book might inspire youto write your own poems.
