BOOK DESCRIPTION

For each let­ter of the alpha­bet one poem about the ocean mag­nif­i­cently illus­trated by Viví Escrivá. The poems vary in length and inten­tion. Some are descrip­tive, some share feel­ings, oth­ers are whim­si­cal and full of humor. Every one is musi­cal and their rhythm inspired Suni Paz to turn them into songs.

CD DESCRIPTION

Every one of the poems has been turned into a song by renown com­poser and singer Suni Paz. Draw­ing on her inti­mate knowl­edge of folk­loric musi­cal tra­di­tions of Latin Amer­ica and Spain, Suni has cre­ated orig­i­nal com­po­si­tions for each of the 29 songs. This makes this CD a most gen­er­ous gift.

AUTHOR’S NOTE

The ocean has always been very impor­tant for me: a source of enjoy­ment and spir­i­tual nour­ish­ment. Sur­pris­ingly there are not many books of poetry about the ocean avail­able for Span­ish speak­ing chil­dren, or chil­dren learn­ing Span­ish. It has been a joy to cre­ate these for them.
