En su primera recopilaci©đn de poes©Ưas biling©ơes para ni©łos, Jos©♭ Chavez comparte reflexiones l©Ưricas que iluminan a un joven M©♭xico-Americano que ve las estrellas bailar en el cielo nocturno, anhela navegar a M©♭xico, pinta la sonrisa de su madre, y le encanta el chile verde de su abuela. Con dos gatas y un cochinito amistoso, que lo acompa©łan, el ni©ło curioso emprende un viaje a trav©♭s de su imaginaci©đn mientras contempla lo que hacen las estrellas durante el d©Ưa, y piensa en preguntas para el planeta Saturno.

In his first collection of bilingual poetry for children, JosE Chavez shares lyrical reflections that shine a light on a young Mexican-American boy who sees stars dance across the night sky, longs to sail to Mexico, paints his mother's smile, and loves his grandmother's green chile stew. With two cats and a friendly pig to keep him company, the curious boy embarks on a journey through his imagination as he contemplates what stars do in the daytime, and thinks of questions for the planet Saturn.
