Only the return of democracy could reveal the full horrors of Augusto Pinochet's regime: 3,197 people dead or disappeared--including thirty-four children under the age of fourteen. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book is a stirring memorial to those victims and to the cost of extremism. Thirty-four poems--one for each child lost--consider the diverse hopes of these fragile young lives. From Alicia to Jaime, H ctor to Paola, Soledad to Rafael, they were brave and creative, thoughtful and strong. In these pages, some children watch for the changing seasons. Some listen for new sounds on rainy afternoons. And some can't wait for their next birthday. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Featuring gentle, emotive poems and soft, pastel-toned illustrations, \u003ci\u003eNi os \u003c\/i\u003eis an unforgettable tribute to the children of Pinochet's Chile and all those threatened by political violence across the world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaría José Ferrada\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eMexique: A Refugee Story from the Spanish Civil War\u003c\/i\u003e (Eerdmans).
