A poetic, beautifully illustrated picture book inspired by Ode to
the Onion by Chilean poet Pablo Neruda (1904-1973). Pablo has a
lunch date with his friend Matilde, who shows the moody poet her
garden. Where Pablo sees conflict and sadness, Matilde sees love
and hope. 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.A Junior Library Guild
