The Cricket Sings: Poems and Songs for Children By Federico García Lorca

As we continue to celebrate National Poetry Month, we'd like to share an exceptional book of poetry by the amazing Federico García Lorca. Written many years ago, this classic treasure is an example of the power and skill with which Lorca created written art.

The Cricket Sings is a selection of the poems and songs Federico Garcia Lorca wrote especially for children, presented together with the Spanish texts. María Horvath's ink drawings do not detract from the text, though they are detailed with intricate patterns. This book would make a wonderful gift worthy of "family heirloom" status!

You can take a look inside the book for yourself here, using Google Books. And if you would like to purchase your own copy, you may do so here, or simply click on our bookshop button in the sidebar. We have both new and gently used books available.
