Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. First Edition. From Booklist Ages 6-10. Diego and David are good friends. Their families are migrant farm workers who travel all the time--from crop to crop, season to season. The consistent, connecting thread in their lives is the sound of the radio--in the field to ease the picking and in the truck during long night rides. It's also there when the families part, as Diego's family sets out for Washington to pick apples. Once at the orchards, Diego hears KMPO, farm worker's radio and, longing to find David again, calls the radio "bulletin board" with a message: "Hello, David! This is Diego. Are you here?" The typeface is large and clear, with the English and Spanish texts (both handled well) separated by thumbnail watercolors that effectively coordinate with the full-page art on the facing page. The plentiful, naive-style paintings contribute a solid sense of place and reflect the strong family ties and efforts at community Dorros conveys in his story. The final illustration is a smiling David hearing Diego's message on the radio. Janice Del Negro Product Description As he travels with his family of migrant farmworkers, Diego relies on his radio to provide him with companionship From Publishers Weekly Toting his omnipresent radio, Diego and his family of migrant farm workers leave a tiny cabin and head for the cabbage fields. Though the music on his radio brings him joy, the boy is sad to bid farewell to his friend David when Diego's family takes to the road looking for more work. The voices of various Spanish- and English-speaking announcers ("Hello. You're tuned to Bird radio, of Phoenix, Arizona"; or " Ahora, anuncios de KMPO ") chart Diego's travels as the family makes temporary stops across the Southwest and eventually heads north to the apple orchards of Washington State. Wherever they go, Diego searches for David. Fittingly, it is through a call-in program on his beloved radio that Diego communicates with his buddy, bringing the story to a heartwarming close. Spot art separates English and Spanish on text pages that alternate with affecting, primitive-like acrylic paintings. While there are a few other books about children of migrant farm workers (for example, Amelia's Road , Children's Forecasts, Aug. 9), the Dorros' work is noteworthy in presenting a protagonist who would be just as interesting in another milieu. A brief glossary translates eight Spanish phrases incorporated into the English text. Ages 6-10. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Kirkus Reviews As Diego travels with his family looking for work--picking melons near Phoenix, cherries in California, apples in the Northwest--he tunes in to local stations, Spanish, English, or both; that's why his friend David, whom he hasn't seen since they picked cabbages on the Texas border, calls him ``Radio Man.'' When Diego relays a message through a call-in show in Washington, David hears it and they meet again. Dorros's colorful, simply drawn illustrations have a pleasing naivet and include some nice details--Mama, glimpsed in the rearview mirror, dozing on an all- night drive; an owl nesting in a saguaro cactus while the family listens to ``the Night Owl'' on ``KKTS, Cactus radio.'' Both the Spanish and English texts here incorporate context-defined words from the other language, in the natural manner of those becoming more fluent. An upbeat but largely realistic picture of migrant life--and an entertaining boost to bilingualism. (Picture book. 4-8) -- Copyright 1993, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
