From the publisher:
Libro de Honor de los Premios Pura Belpre en ilustracion En su debut como autora e ilustradora, Mirelle Ortega comparte su historia, empezando por la finca de pinas de su familia en Mexico, donde aprendio el verdadero significado de la magia. Aprendi que la magia no es buena ni mala, simplemente es. A veces da, a veces quita. A veces la vida florece, a veces se marchita. Una nina que crece en una finca de pinas en Mexico nos descubre el verdadero significado de la palabra magia en este libro ilustrado, un volumen verdaderamente magico sobre el cambio y la transformacion --tanto sobre aquellas cosas que no podemos controlar, como los desastres naturales y las perdidas, como las que si estan en nuestro poder. La magia puede transformar la tierra en pinas, las semillas en arboles, la lana en mantas, las palabras en historias, las paginas en blanco en imagenes. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Pura Belpre Youth Illustration Honor Book In her debut as author and illustrator, Mirelle Ortega shares her own story of growing up near her family's pineapple farm in Mexico, where she learned the true meaning of magic. I learned that magic isn't good or bad, it just is. Sometimes it gives, sometimes it takes. Sometimes life blossoms, sometimes it wilts. Growing up on a pineapple farm in Mexico, a girl discovers the true meaning of the word magic in this truly magical picture book about change and transformation of all kinds--what we can't control, such as natural disasters and loss, and what we can. Magic can transform dirt into pineapples, seeds into trees, wool into blankets, words into stories, blank pages into pictures--a story into a picture book.
