"These bilingual poems reflect the multicultural life experiences of many Latino children in the United States today. They also celebrate the seven days of the week, a rich heritage shared by most regions of the world" wrote author Francisco X. Alarcon in the foreward of his book, Family Poemes for Every Day of the Week. Each day offers a collection of poems, written in both Spanish and English. The colourful illustrations add to the Laninx flavour and are, "...heavily inspired by the eternal beauty of Mexico's indigenous crafts" says illustrator Maya Gonzalez. Also a nice jumping off spot for those wanting to try their hand at free verse.… (más)

The language in this book was beautiful. I LOVE that each poem was written in English and Spanish, showing the beauty of the Spanish language and how wonderfully it flows. I definitely enjoyed that I could read both languages and find similarities and differences. Each poem was spaced out a bit differently, but I loved it because it was very clear where the emphasis was and what the author wanted readers to see and feel. The colorful and vivid illustrations were definitely a plus in this book as well!… (más)
