"La autora de bestsellers Lesľa Newman ofrece un tierno y oportuno cuento de una nįa puertorriquęa que enfrenta un hurac̀n y su preocupaci̤n por los amados coqu̕es de su isla natal. Despǔs de acurrucarse en la cama cada noche, Alicia escucha las formidables voces de los diminutos coqu̕es que viven en todo Puerto Rico y le cantan para que se duerma. Co-qu̕, co-qu̕ cantan las ranitas. Co-qu̕, coqu̕. Un d̕a un terrible hurac̀n viene a Puerto Rico y Alicia y su familia se cobijan en un refugio. A la hora de dormir, Alicia oye los ronquidos de los adultos y el llanto de los beb̌s, el aullido del viento y el golpetear de la lluvia. Pero a pesar de que escucha con atenci̤n, no puede o̕r el canto de los coqu̕es. ¿Estar̀n a salvo las ranitas? ¿Con qǔ se encontrar̀n Alicia y su familia cuando la tormenta haya terminado? Alicia y el hurac̀n es una mirada sensible a la tenacidad de la gente y otras criaturas de la naturaleza cuyas vidas son afectadas por un desastre natural. Con amor y apoyo, las familias y los amigos se re͠nen para compartir, reconstruir y llenar el coraz̤n de Alicia de esperanza. ¡Co-qu̕, coqu̕!"--,Amazon.
Description
"Bestselling author Lesľa Newman offers a tender and timely story of a Puerto Rican child facing a hurricane and her concern for the beloved coqu̕es of her home island. After snuggling into bed each night, Alicia listens for the big voices of the tiny coqu̕es that live all around Puerto Rico and sing her to sleep.Ko-kee, ko-kee, the little frogs call. Ko-kee, ko-kee. One day a terrible hurricane comes to Puerto Rico, and Alicia and her family take refuge in a shelter. At bedtime Alicia hears grown-ups snoring and babies crying, wind howling and rain pounding. But even though she listens hard, she cannot hear the song of the coqu̕es. Are the little tree frogs safe? And what will Alicia and her family find at home when the storm is over? Alicia and the Hurricane is a tender look at the resilience of people, and native creatures, whose lives have been disrupted by a natural disaster. With love and support, family and friends come together to share, rebuild, and fill Alicia's heart with hope. Ko-kee, ko-kee!"--,Amazon.
