Product Description:

In the small village of Caspritrano there is a small mission church where Julian works as a gardener. A young boy named Juan comes by to visit him often, as he loves the garden and the las golondrinas (swallows) that make their home there. However, as the summer ends, the swallows leave to head south. Julian promises that the swallows will be back next spring on St. Joseph's Day; so Juan begins to make preparations at his own home by putting in a garden and small pool of water. Will the swallows return as Julian promised they would? Will any of them make his new garden their home? Two lovely songs about swallows are included in this 1950 Caldecott Medal winning book by Leo Politi. Hc, 30 pages. elise
