So begins this bilingual collection of Poems that takes us through the week day by day.
Alarcon passed away in January 2016..
Francisco X.
With her vibrant illustrations, illustrator Maya Christina Gonzalez has created a loving tribute to childhood, to family, and to Francisco Alarcon.
Partly based on the real life experiences of Alarcon\'s own family, this festive, celebratory collection of Poems highlights the daily life of children while also honoring the experiences of the poet\'s Latino Family in the United States.
Along the way, we also learn how the names of the seven days came to be.
Children spend Sunday visiting their grandparents, play with school friends on Monday, daydream on Tuesday, eat popcorn at the local market on Wednesday, and more, until we arrive at Saturday, when they get to play nonstop all day.
