Angels Ride Bikes and Other Fall Poems: Los Ángeles Andan en Bicicleta y otros poemas del otoño

In this bilingual poetry book, Francisco X. AlarcÃ³n invites young readers to experience fall in Los Angeles â€” the City of the Angels â€” where dreams can come true. In the poet's whimsical imagination, mariachis play like angels, angels ride bikes, and the earth dances the cha-cha-cha. AlarcÃ³n celebrates the simple joys and trials of everyday life: a visit to the outdoor market, the arrival of the ice cream vendor, the first day of school. He honors his family and pays tribute to his mother, who taught him that with hard work and education he could realize his dreams. Maya Christina Gonzalez's spirited images perfectly complement each poem, bringing to life the people and places in AlarcÃ³n's childhood.
