In any Latino barrio, the highlight of a summer afternoon filled
with the sweet and savory smells of flowers and crispy tacos is the
arrival of the paleta vendor with his deliciously cool fruit
popsicles. Made in a variety of flavors and colors, the paleta can
be the inspiration for fun and creativity with old and new friends.
Purple tongues, blue mustaches, a palette of swirly, drippy art -
all are second to the real enjoyment of a paleta: "to.../ lick it
and slurp it / and sip it and munch it / and gobble it all down."
Tafolla's English text sprinkles easily recognizable Spanish words
throughout, creating a parallel to the Anglo neighborhood ice-cream
truck in a very Latin setting. Morales's ethnically detailed
acrylic paintings in earthen tones against primary colors help to
identify the key Spanish words and augment the circular story
pattern, in which the introductory verses repeat in the final
pages. A simultaneous dual-language edition presents a parallel
Spanish translation that accompanies the English text (ISBN:
978-1-58246-289-9). (Picture book. 3-6) (Kirkus Reviews)
Where the paleta wagon rings its tinkly belland carries a treasure
of icy paletasin every color of the sarape . . .
As she strolls through her barrio, a young girl introduces readers
to the frozen, fruit-flavored treat that thrills Mexican and
Mexican-American children. Create a masterpiece, make tough choices
(strawberry or coconut?), or cool off on a warm summer's
day--there's so much to do with a paleta.
