Laughing tomatoes and other spring poems = Jitomates risueños y otros poemas de primavera : poems

With joy and tenderness, delight and sadness, Alarcon's poems honor the wonders of life and nature: welcoming the morning sun, remembering his grandmother's songs, paying tribute to children working in the fields, and sharing his dream of a world filled with gardens.*
