Un poema infantil en diez estaciones para reconocernos en el momento primigenio de nuestra historia. Gruñidos como poemas; aplausos, suspiros, agitar de manos como nombres, miradas y guiños para decir hambre o amor. El guatemalteco Julio Serrano Echeverría le escribe a los primerísimos abuelos, a sus primerísimos dibujos, al animal que un día salió de su dibujo en la piedra y sigue al galope en todos los corazones. Armando Fonseca (México) ilustra con una paleta y unas decisiones plásticas que imprimen nuevos significados a esta historia de todos. Ganador del Premio Fundación Cuatrogatos 2026.

English Description:

A children's poem in ten stations to recognize ourselves in the primordial moment of our history. Grunts as poems; applause, sighs, hand gestures as names, glances and winks to say hunger or love. Guatemalan poet Julio Serrano Echeverría writes to the very first grandparents, their very first drawings, the animal that one day leaped from its image in the stone and still gallops in every heart. Armando Fonseca (Mexico) illustrates with a palette and artistic choices that imprint new meaning on this history of everyone. Winner of the Premio Fundación Cuatrogatos 2026.

Teacher Comments: [2025] Yes, this book should be in your collection. A classroom teacher that likes art themes would love this book. Also, for history themes (beginning of Human times) it would be a good place to start. | [2025] Poetry is a bit tricky so I might use this as a mentor text when teaching/looking at poetry.
