Product Description

by Tony Hillery (Author), Jessie Hartland (Illustrator), Alexis Romay (Translator)

"Las alegres ilustraciones de estilo folclórico de Hartland bailotean de la intensidad gris y jazzística del animado vecindario citadino a la colorida cosecha de una exuberante granja urbana". --The New York Times
"Un libro ilustrado que inspirará a los jóvenes con importantes conexiones al medio ambiente, la sostenibilidad y la participación en la comunidad". --Booklist

Descubre la verdadera historia de Cultivado en Harlem, una exuberante huerta en la ciudad de Nueva York que creció de un terreno abandonado y ahora alimenta a un vecindario.

Una vez,
en una gran ciudad llamada Nueva York,
en un animado vecindario,
había un terreno vacío.
Nevaeh lo llamaba el jardín embrujado.

Cultivado en Harlem cuenta la inspiradora historia real de cómo un hombre marcó la diferencia en un vecindario. Luego de ver lo inquietos que estaban los estudiantes de una escuela mal financiada, y la falta de opciones de comida saludable, Tony Hillery los invitó a convertir un terreno vacío en una hermosa y útil granja. Al ensuciarse las manos, estos niños hicieron de un espacio abandonado algo hermoso y productivo, a la vez que tuvieron la oportunidad de colaborar y aprender acerca de la comida saludable y sostenible.

Cinco años después, los niños y sus padres, con la ayuda del personal de Cultivado en Harlem, cultivan miles de libras de frutas y vegetales cada año. Todo eso es entregado a los niños y sus familias. La increíble historia es insuflada de vida con el "arte enternecedoramente cargado" (Booklist) de Jessie Hartland. Los lectores la leerán con atención en busca de nuevos detalles al repasar este emotivo e inspirador cuento una y otra vez.
