Snippet:
El desierto
Voy corriendo por el desierto
con mi mami.
Ella me toma
la mano.
Yo miro las estrellas.
Cada una de ellas
como su manos,
me guía con su luz.
The Desert
I am running through the desert
with my mother.
She takes
my hand.
I look at the stars.
Each star,
like her hand,
guides me with its light.
