OverviewA family joins the music of the Texas desert night in this tale of tradition and memory from Pura Belpre Honor author Laekan Zea Kemp. Una familia disfruta de la mosica nocturna del desierto tejano en esta historia de tradici n y recuerdo de Laekan Zea Kemp, ganadora de una Menci n de Honor Pura Belpre. Todo empieza con un suave golpeteo, cuando el tio Eduardo tamborilea con las manos sobre sus polvorientos pantalones. Cuando el rubor del atardecer da paso a la noche en el desierto, emergen coyotes, cigarras y lechuzas, cada uno de ellos llamando a la luna. Observando desde su porche, la familia participa en la canci n. Uno por uno, cada familiar ofrece sus tambores, flauta, maracas, cuerdas y voces. Cantan con los insectos, pajaros, serpientes y sapos; y cantan con sus antepasados, una audiencia que brilla entre las estrellas. Con cada rasgueo de instrumentos heredados, los recuerdos se renuevan y los familiares que han fallecido estan vivos y cercanos de nuevo. Canci n del desierto tararea y suena con toda la mosica que un porche y el desierto mas alla de el pueden contener. El conmovedor texto de Laekan Zea Kemp, ganadora de una Menci n de Honor Pura Belpre, baila a traves de las encantadoras ilustraciones de Beatriz Gutierrez Hernandez. Los lectores se quedaran con la reconfortante sensaci n de que cuando la creatividad florece, el pasado nunca esta fuera de su alcance y los vinculos importantes nunca se rompen.
