Las dentaduras de Paco Palma

An iguana named Bemberecua lived near the village of Tlacotalpan by the Papaloapan river, where life was very tranquil, but when Bemberecua heard the marvelous music of the fandango, she discovered that she loved to dance more than anything else in the world, even though her claws kept destroying the villager's dance floor where Bemberecua secretly danced each night.

She was little and quick and pretty. Her mother nicknamed her Colibri, Spanish for "Hummingbird". At age four she was kidnapped, torn from her parents on a crowded bus in Guatemala City. Since then, she's traveled with "Uncle," the ex-soldier and wandering beggar who has renamed her Rosa. Uncle has always told Rosa that he searched for his parents but had no success. There's almost no chance Rosa will ever find them--but Rosa still remembers and longs for them. When she was young, Uncle consulted fortune-tellers who told him that Rosa would bring him luck--a treasure big enough to last him...

Una edición española Cuando visitamos a abuelo, lo ayudo a vender frutas, pregonando los nombres de cada una mientras caminamos: nuestros pasos repican como tambores, nuestras manos, cual maracas, que suenan agitan los brillantes colores de las frutas… Vivo lejos de abuelo, pero podemos cantar rimas de ida y vuelta entre nuestros dos países, nuestros versos en papel vuelan como aves cantoras, cada sílaba un abrazo hecho de palabras.

Una invitación lúdica a descomponer y recomponer las palabras. En la marirronda de las mapirosas, maricuriosea una marirrosa... Mientras la maripilla busca colores para sus alas que ha despintado un viento travieso, el lector goza trastocando las palabras.
