Description
In the small pueblo of Palenque in Colombia, literacy is rare. But when young girl discovers letters her older sister receives from a doctor, she sets out to unlock their secrets with Señor Velandia's help. As she learns the alphabet, she uncovers a magical world where words hold surprising power. With each new letter, her understanding of the world expands. She begins to see the world around her in a different light, and discovers that letters are everywhere - on walls, in stones, even in the air itself. This is a story about the transformative power of reading, and the incredible impact one young girl can have on her community. Irene Vasco's beautifully written tale is a heartwarming exploration of hope, discovery, and the magic of language.
