Calling the Doves/El canto de las palomas

The book "After Dinner And After Our Few Traveling Chickens At Noon Time A Fiesta In The Mountains Was A Rare Treat" is a heartwarming and vividly descriptive memoir of poet Juan Felipe Herrera's migrant farmworker childhood.

Through his rich, evocative prose, Herrera re-creates the joy of eating under the open sky, celebrating with other farm families, and listening to his mother singing Mexican songs and his father calling the doves.

This inspiring self-portrait of a loving Latino family offers a refreshing alternative to the typically bleak portrayal of migrant farmworker experiences.

With Simmon's realistic illustrations, the book comes alive with vivid colors and detailed depictions of Mexican American life.

Don't miss out on this moving and uplifting account of one family's journey through hardship and love.
