$18.99
This poetic and beautifully illustrated picture book inspired by the poem "Ode to the Onion" by Chilean poet Pablo Neruda (1904–1973) shows how close observation of the natural world can spark the creative spirit. Pablo has a lunch date with his friend Matilde, who shows the moody poet her garden. Where Pablo sees conflict and sadness, Matilde sees love and hope. Their story becomes an ode to a vegetable that is humble and luminous, dark and light, gloomy and glad, full of grief and full of joy—just like life.The complete text of "Ode to an Onion" in both the original Spanish and a new English translation by Alexandria Giardino is included in the back of the book.Book, 40 pages.
