A Movie in My Pillow/ Una Pelicula en mi Almohada
Synopsis:
A young boy with two homelands and a delightful sense of wonder comes to life in Jorge Argueta�s first collection of poems for children. Young Jorgito lives in San Francisco�s Mission District, but he hasn�t forgotten his native El Salvador. He recalls the volcanoes, the tasty cornmeal pupusas, and his grandmother�s stories. As he changes from timid newcomer to seasoned city dweller, Jorgito�s memories and new adventures form a patchwork of dreams � the movie in his pillow � that is perfectly suited to his new bicultural identity.
