Música amiga: El camino de tu risa

~A guest post by F. Isabel Campoy


EL CAMINO DE TU RISA. VOLUME 9


The world - seen through the eyes of children - lives in the lyrics of the poems included in this volume, as seen in Lo que vamos a ser. The value of friendship is expressed through the words of the Cuban poet, José Martí, in La rosa blanca. Alma Flor plays with her shadow in her poem Mi amiga la sombra and invites us all to open the roads of tomorrow with the help of our imagination in Hagamos caminos. I have created in Día de las madres a hymn to sing to mothers on Mother’s Day, and in Un beso de papá I tell the story of a girl who wanted a kiss from her father to keep forever in her heart. We also find inspiration in the global effort to save the Earth in Alto bien alto, where I invite children and their parents to care for trees and allow them to grow tall in our forests.
