La Golondrina

Latin Grammy–nominated singer/songwriter Sonia De Los Santos’s debut picture book is a hopeful and lyrical ode to family, home, and the journeys we make to create them.

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 Martínez’s vibrant and accessible artwork to create an unforgettable celebration of the journeys that shape our lives and our communities.
