A swallow’s journey echoes a family’s own

Inspired by Sonia De Los Santos’s song, this picture-book story links a young girl’s attention to a migrating swallow with the journeys unfolding in her family. From her grandmother’s home in Mexico, she talks with the bird as it prepares to travel north in search of food and a new home; her father is making a similar journey, and she imagines one in her own future. The parallel gives migration a child-centered frame, while the bilingual English-Spanish text supports the book’s themes of family, belonging, and movement between places.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in stories about animals and migration.
  • English-Spanish bilingual households and families sharing books across both languages.
  • Readers seeking a picture-book story centered on family, belonging, and Mexican settings.

Book overview

Based on Sonia De Los Santos's popular song "La Golondrina," this joyful story captures a young girl's fascination with the migratory swallow that sings in the trees outside her grandmother's home in Mexico. With dreamlike wistfulness, she speaks to the bird about the long journey northward that it is about to undertake to find food and a new home--much like the one her own father is making, and the one she will someday make too.

La Golondrina captures Sonia De Los Santos's signature spirit and joy and celebrates love, family, migration, and belonging. Bilingual English-Spanish text is complemented by Teresa Mart
