A poetic, beautifully illustrated picture book inspired by Ode to the Onion by Chilean poet Pablo Neruda (1904D1973).
A Junior Library Guild Selection.
The story is less a biography of Neruda and his muse, Matilde Urrutia (1912-1985), and more a simple ode to a vegetable that is humble and luminous, dark and light, gloomy and glad, full of grief and full of joy--just like life.
Where Pablo sees conflict and sadness, Matilde sees love and hope.
Pablo has a lunch date with his friend Matilde, who shows the moody poet her garden.
