Nicolas Guillén left to us, besides his vast poetic work, this book of poems for children, according to himself.
Island of red coral: "lit island, island of red coral, full of bright visions: the Antilles sea, the boats rocking, the clouds wandering through the blue, the drum of the bongo, the echo of the guitar, up there the burning Sun of the Tropic.
Brilliant visions inside Nicolás Guillén’s heart of a poet, which is similar to the red coral of an island, non-stop beating in his writings” (Ana Pelegrín, in the prologue).
“A beautiful book of poetry by Nicolas Guillén (1902-1989), one of the most brilliant poets who wrote in Spanish… the prologue by Ana Pelegrín results to be quite revealing about Guillen’s poetry and, specially, about the poems contained in this book. The included glossary can help to appreciate better the richness of Guillen’s verses” (CLIJ, Children and Young Adults’ Literature Notebooks).
"Ludwig y el rinoceronte. Una historia filosófica para antes de dormir", ilustrado por GOLDEN COSMOS, forma parte de la muestra de ilustración infantil y juvenil europea Europa Ilustra 2026.
