Book Reviews of My Name Is Gabito/Mi Llamo Gabito: The Life of Gabriel Garcia Marquez/La Vida De Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Book Review: Magical storytellers childhood
Summary: 5 Stars
A magnificent children's book about an incredible talent, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, that students, children, parents and teachers alike will enjoy. The book serves as a nice introduction to this giant of literature. The Nobel Prize winner for Literature, who wrote over thirty books, with such diverse themes and titles as El amor en los tiempos del c?lera (Oprah #59), News of a Kidnapping (Vintage International) and One Hundred Years of Solitude (P.S.) has had his books translated into many languages and several made into motion pictures. Before he was well known though he was known as Gabito. This divine children's biography tells of the magical world of Gabito in Colombia where he lived with a 100 year old parrot, who told stories in a haunted house. Gabito also loved to be with his grandfather who introduced him to his love of words. Gabito would imagine a world beyond his, incorporating his childhood experiences into stories for everyone to enjoy. His fantastic imagination began in childhood and this fact should appeal to the young reader. The bilingual text is superb and may serve the student well whose first language is not English. the illustrations are magnificent, especialy the oversized drawings that incorporates two pages with the theme of the imagination. This Luna Rising book is another example of a outstanding bilingual children's book. Author Monica Brown again delivers a beautiful bilingual educational book. If you enjoy this book you may also like some of her other biographies for children like My Name is Gabriela/Me llamo Gabriela (Bilingual): The Life of Gabriela Mistral/la vida de Gabriela Mistral or her award winning book My Name is Celia/Me llamo Celia (Bilingual): The Life of Celia Cruz/la vida de Celia Cruz (Americas Award for Children's and Young Adult Literature. Winner (Awards)). This bilingual children's book is highly recommended for K-6 and community libraries.
