¡Viva el aguacate! (Avocado Magic Spanish only edition)

Description

Avocado seeds and slow growing! A young girl’s impatience turns to wonder as she and her avocado tree gradually change and grow in this story inspired by Israeli artist Taltal Levi’s childhood. Semillas de aguacate y el crecimiento lento! La impaciencia de una niña se convierte en asombro mientras su árbol de aguacate y ella misma cambian y crecen paulatinamente en esta historia inspirado en la infancia propia de la artista israelí Taltal Levi. Muriel is sulking—she celebrated her birthday yesterday under the old avocado tree, but today she’s not even a little bit taller! Dad tells Muriel a secret: She is like the pit of an avocado, he explains, small and full of magic. Together they put an avocado seed in a glass of water by the window and watch as both Muriel and her avocado plant grow, take root, and eventually bring new life. Avocados are ubiquitous and plucked straight from the tree in Taltal Levi’s native country, Israel, as well as throughout Latin America. In her third book, Taltal Levi uses warm, earthy colors to tell a personal yet universal story about the magic of growth. Includes instructions for growing your own avocado tree!
