About this ebook

Bilingual book - Libro Bilingüe. (Español-English) same printed version.

The book narrates the fears, challenges and experiences of a nine year old who walks the same difficult trail every day to get to school.   The trail that he walks lands on the line between a child’s fantasies as well as realism.  Pedro’s tales always include his two favorite pets. His dog, Lato, who is a gold-like yellow mutt, and his dark-brown mare, Mora, who was as sweet as her mother.   The trail that takes him to school passes through coffee fields, sugar cane fields, grazing pastures and plateaus. The relentless and muddy trail presents colorful mountain ranges and coffee trees.

El libro narra esos temores, vivencias, experiencias y dudas de un niño de 9 años  que recorre solitario una trocha, cada día, durante 2 horas para ir a la escuela. La trocha por donde camina es esa línea invisible entre sus fantasías y la realidad que vive.  La imaginación de Pedro es siempre acompañada por sus dos mascotas preferidas; un perro, “Lato,” criollo en su pedigree y amarillo como el oro y una yegua, “Mora,” color marrón oscuro con su pelo largo, tan tierna como su madre.  Esa trocha que lo lleva a su escuela recorre cafetales, cañadulzales, mesetas y potreros; es también esa línea pedregosa y pantanosa  desde donde él puede ver un horizonte lleno de cordilleras coloridas por millones de árboles café.
