ISBN: 0-88776-503-3 Language: English Description: Every morning young Francisco makes three wishes: that he can sell all his newspapers in the marketplace, that his baby brother will soon be born, and that the kite that hangs in Senor Gonzalez's toy stall will still be there.
Wishes seldom come true for a poor barrio child like Francisco. His father has died and his prospects seem hopeless. But Francisco is loved and his life, though difficult, is not without joy.
Thousands of children work like Francisco. Nicaraguan-born Luis Garay believes that their stories deserve to be told. In The Kite, he tells one of them, with poignant text and gorgeous paintings.
