But what kind of pictures should we have and who could we get to illustrate it? We picked Geronimo Garcia, another friend, because El Paso is his home and he understands the border and how it sometimes separates people. Geronimo is an artist and a commercial designer. He came up with some preliminary sketches for A Gift from Pap Diego, but the part of him that is a commercial designer knew that there was something more that he could do with these drawings to make them stand out among all the thousands of children's books that are available. So he decided that instead of drawing his illustrations, he would build the illustrations out of terra cotta clay and paint the sculptures with acrylic paints. Next he had the illustrations photographed. So what you see when you read Pap Diego is really a three-dimensional illustration.
So this book-A Gift from Pap Diego / Un regalo de Pap Diego-is a collaboration among friends, who all live in the wonderful border city of El Paso.
A stylist in both poetry and prose, Senz has now taken his magic of flight to younger readers. This is his gift to them. Parents, snuggle up to your children at night and read this delightful tale of Dieguito. (Gary Soto)
