Los Zanates de Valle Verde Protegen Sus Tierras

This Spanish translation of the children's book, Grackles of Green Grove Protect Their Land, features Zanates, more or less ordinary black birds, who are capable of heroism when their dreams lead them on a path to survival. They love human beings, but also suffer because of them. Their habitat is threatened by a dumpsite, so they execute a powerful move in the dead of night, shifting all the garbage to a recycling center. Bravery and cooperation sustain a successful conclusion--verdant grass, trees and bushes reemerge, as they save themselves and the environment simultaneously! Two-way dual language and ESL students can read the English and the Spanish versions side-by-side!
