Here’s a quick post, featuring the artwork of David Díaz. The illustrations are from author Monica Brown’s Maya’s Blanket/la manta de Maya (Lee & Low, August 2015). Last week Monica and I chatted over here at Kirkus, so here are a few spreads from the book.

Enjoy.



 


” … She wore the skirt to the park, and it bounced
as she hopped and skipped rope with her friends. /
… Se la puso para ir al parque, donde se balanceaba mientras
Maya brincaba a la cuerda con sus amigos.”

” … But after a couple of winters, Maya’s bufanda was old and worn.
It was falling apart before her eyes. /
… Pero después de un par de inviernos, la bufanda de Maya estaba vieja y gastada.
Maya notó que se comenzaba a hacer pedazos.”
