Juan Felipe Herrera, Elizabeth Gomez
The Upside Down Boy/El nino de cabeza
Paperback
(Children's Book Press Sept. 8, 2006)
, First Trade Paper Edition edition
Fresh from the country, Juanito is bewildered by his new school. Everything he does feels upside down: he eats lunch when it's recess and goes out to play when it's time for lunch, and his tongue feels like a rock when he tries to speak English. But a sensitive teacher and his loving family help Juanito find his voice through poetry, art, and music. Juan Felipe Herrera's playful language and the magical illustrations of Elizabeth Gómez capture the universal experience of entering a new school and feeling lost in a world that seems upside down — at first.
