Little Diego loves his grandfather, who lives far away in Mexico, and is sad because they don't get to see each other very often. For his birthday, he asks his mother for a Superman outfit so he can fly across the border to visit his grandfather. Even though he knows he cannot fly, he still enjoys one of his happiest birthdays ever. Full color.

A border is nothing for people who love--and Little Diego loves his grandpa more than anything!

Una frontera no es nada para los que se aman: y Dieguito ama a su abuelo más que nada!

Little Diego doesn't get to see his grandfather nearly as much as he'd like. He lives in Texas and his Papá Diego lives in Mexico across the border. One day Little Diego's father gives him a pile of superhero comic books that he had growing up. In those comic books, Little Diego find a way to see his Papá Diego more often. Maybe if he was like the magical superhero, then he could fly off to see his grandfather in Mexico! So Little Diego tells his mother that he wants the superhero's costume for his birthday. His parents buy him one, but, of course, Little Diego cannot fly. He's heart-broken. Still, because he had the daring to imagine, a wonderful event occurs and he enjoys a magical birthday anyway.

Each illustration in Papá Diego was built out of terra cotta clay and painted with acrylic paints. This gives the illustrations a 3 dimensional quality which kids will love!

Dieguito no ve a su abuelo tanto como le gustaría. Él vive en Texas y su Papá Diego vive en México al otro lado de la frontera. Un día, el padre de Dieguito le da una pila de cómics de superhéroes que tenía cuando era niño. En esos cómics, el pequeño Diego encuentra la manera de ver a su Papá Diego más. Tal vez si fuera como el superhéroe mágico, podría volar a México para ver a su abuelo! Así que Dieguito le dice a su madre que quiere el disfraz del superhéroe para su cumpleaños. Sus padres le compran uno, pero, por supuesto, Dieguito no puede volar. Tiene el corazón roto. Aún así, ya que tubo la osadía de imaginar, ocurre un evento maravilloso y disfruta un cumpleaños mágico de todas maneras.

Cada ilustración de Papá Diego se construyó de terracota y se pintó con pinturas acrílicas. Esto le da a las ilustraciones una calidad tridimensional les encantará a los pequeños!
