Desde el momento en que aprendio a hablar, se rodeo de palabras. Neftali descubrio la magia oculta entre las paginas de los libros.Cuando tenia dieciseis años, comenzo a publicar sus poemas bajo el nombre Pablo Neruda. Pablo escribio poemas sobre las cosas que amaba: obras creadas por sus amigos artistas, objetos hallados en los mercados y elementos de la naturaleza. Escribio sobre la gente de Chile y su lucha por salir adelante. Porque sobre todas las cosas y sobre todas las palabras, Pablo Neruda amaba a la gente.Once there was a little boy named Neftali who loved wild things wildly and quiet things quietly. From the moment he could talk, he surrounded himself with words, seeking comfort and inspiration from the magic he discovered between the pages of books.When he was sixteen, he began publishing his writing as Pablo Neruda. Pablo wrote poems about the things he loved things made by his friends in the cafe, things found at the marketplace, and things he saw in nature. He wrote about the people of Chile and their stories of struggle. Because above all things and above all words, Pablo Neruda loved people.With a new translation of Monica Browns lyrical text and Julia Paschkis gorgeous art, which celebrates multiple languages, this new edition will introduce the youngest of readers of English, Spanish, and both to the legacy of one of historys most iconic talents. From School Library Journal Gr 1-3As a child, Neftali Reyes Basoalto appreciated and loved the beauty of the world around him. He began to write poems about the things he loved, using the pseudonym Pablo Neruda to avoid reproach from his father. As Neruda grew and his poems began to reach people all over the world, he used his words to shine a light on the injustice in Chile and the difficult lives of its people. Because of the attention this brought to leaders in his country, the poet was forced to flee his home, but he continued to share these stories with the world. Vibrant illustrations overflow with color and bring Nerudas world to life. Each page features words and names of poets and writers that appear to rise out of the mountains, roads, trees, seas, and homes. The bilingual text perfectly conveys Nerudas wish to help the children of Chile, and is a revelatory journey into his life, interests, and search for justice.
