Algorta's distinct and poetic prose has been translated by award-winning author Aida Salazar, and presented in English and Spanish.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[STAR] "Algorta's narrative glides with skillful pacing and poetic yet accessible language; Rickenmann's soft, detail-rich illustrations tonally match the refined internal rhythm of the prose."-PW (starred), <br><br><br>[STAR] "Poetic...lyrical and moving novel with a melancholic ode to coming of age." -Foreword Reviews (starred), <br><br><br>[STAR] "Quiet, emotive illustrations reminiscent of Allen Say's and Brian Selznick's, pull readers onto the streets of Bogotá, where dust announces the arrival of the children who ride in bicycle packs, providing a view of busy streets and the barrio. The book is presented in both English and Spanish versions; Salazar's translation masterfully replicates the distant-yet-confiding tone of Algorta's Spanish original, fully conveying the story and its vivid images. An unmissable tale about loss and reclamation."-Kirkus Reviews (starred), <br><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Alejandra Algorta</b> is a writer and editor from Bogotá.
