Agua, Agüita / Water, Little Water de Jorge Argueta, ilustrado por Felipe Ugalde Alcántara, es un lírico libro ilustrado trilingüe que recorre el ciclo vital del agua a través de una sola gota. Escrito en español, inglés y náhuat, comienza en las profundidades de la Madre Tierra y sigue a Agüita mientras asciende por raíces y rocas, se posa en hojas y pétalos, y se transforma en ríos, lagos, océanos y nubes, antes de regresar a la Tierra en forma de lluvia. Con un texto poético y vibrantes ilustraciones en técnica mixta, el libro celebra el agua como fuerza vital y refleja la herencia indígena pipil-nahua de Argueta. Ideal para niños de 4 a 7 años, es un rico recurso bilingüe que combina ciencia, cultura y conciencia ambiental.

English Description:

Agua, Agüita / Water, Little Water by Jorge Argueta, illustrated by Felipe Ugalde Alcántara, is a lyrical trilingual picture book that traces the life cycle of water through the eyes of a single drop. Written in Spanish, English, and Nahuat, it begins deep within Mother Earth and follows Little Water as it rises through roots and rocks, rests on leaves and petals, and transforms into rivers, lakes, oceans, and clouds—before returning to Earth as rain. With poetic text and vibrant mixed-media illustrations, the book celebrates water as a life-giving force and reflects Argueta’s indigenous Pipil-Nahua heritage. Ideal for ages 4–7, it’s a rich dual-language resource that blends science, culture, and environmental awareness.
