About this ebook
A tender, transcendent, and meticulously crafted novel, Pura Belpre Award Winner from Newbery Honoree, Pam Munoz Ryan, and three-time Caldecott Honoree, Peter Sis!Desde que era chico, Neftali escucha el llamado de una misteriosa voz. Aunque los ninos vecinos se burlen y su autoritario padre lo ridiculice, e incluso aunque el mismo dude a veces, Neftali sabe que no puede ignorar ese llamado. Escucha y sigue la voz por la fronda exuberante de la selva tropical hasta al mar imponente, a traves de la persistente lluvia chilena en un viaje inspirador de autodescubrimiento que transformara su vida y, a la larga, tambien el mundo.From the time he is a young boy, Neftali hears the call of a mysterious voice. Even when the neighborhood children taunt him, and when his harsh, authoritarian father ridicules him, and when he doubts himself, Neftali knows he cannot ignore the call. He listens and follows as it leads him under the canopy of the lush rain forest, into the fearsome sea, and through the persistent Chilean rain on an inspiring voyage of self-discovery that will transform his life and, ultimately, the world.
