Polvo solar (Sundust Spanish Edition)

Author Zeke Peña
Illustrated by Zeke Peña
Translated by Rubí Orozco Santos
En su impresionante debut como autor-ilustrador, Zeke Peña ofrece una aventura inmersiva y fantástica en el desierto, donde el sol reina sobre el vasto paisaje y le da forma a todo lo que toca.


Donde termina la barda de piedra, empieza el más allá del desierto.

Siguiendo el rastro ardiente de polvo solar, dos hermanes curioses saltan la barda y entran a un lugar libre y sin fin. Aquí, las antiguas nopaleras picudas piden ser escaladas, las conchas vacías de tortugas invitan un examen más detenido, las rocas enormes enseñan cómo aquietarse y escuchar y Colibrí ofrece un aventón inesperado. En el desierto, donde la vida gira en torno al sol, hermano y hermana exploran, imaginan, y se preguntan « ¿Qué si el poder del sol estuviese dentro de mí? », hasta que el silbido de su mamá les llama de vuelta a casa.

Con un texto preciso y lírico, Zeke Peña (ilustrador de Mi papi tiene una moto), ganador de los honores Pura Belpré y Ezra Jack Keats, ha creado un cuento fantástico que suspende espacios temporales con su arte radiante y celebra los lazos entre el Sol, el desierto y su gente.

Edición en español.


In his striking author-illustrator debut, the award-winning illustrator of My Papi Has a Motorcycle offers an immersive and fantastical look at his hometown of El Paso, where the sun reigns over the vast desert and shapes all that it touches.


Where the rock wall ends, the desert beyond begins.

The desert is home to unique fauna and flora that have adapted to thrive under the intense sun, making it a wild and endless playground for two bored siblings to explore. Old tires, gnarled nopal trees that beg to be climbed, enormous rocks that demonstrate how to sit still and listen. Rain brings a welcome reprieve from the heat, followed by the mud slowly drying out on their skin, cracking like clay, until it's hard to tell where the kids end and the desert begins.

Sundust is the author-illustrator debut from the acclaimed illustrator of My Papi Has a Motorcycle; it celebrates the bonds that develop between a boy and his hometown, through spare and lyrical text and dazzling desert landscapes.

This is a Spanish-langauge edition.
