Abandoned on foreign soil in a world where language and customs are a mystery, Sophia James, the eldest of six Californian children, is in charge—and she is only eleven. Told through the eyes of the sixty-year-old Sophia as she sits with oils painting a large canvas, The Smell of Sugarcane is based on a true story. Traveling through time with Sophia, the reader witnesses the strength and power that can be found when a human spirit is determined to survive and succeed. As she advances her painting, a remarkable story unfolds in a place where love is hidden and dangers abound and children hold tight. Rich with tropical colors, the book revolves around the island of Puerto Rico. Its factual and descriptive narrative keeps the reader captive as the painting progresses. The reader will skip a heartbeat in moments when the children are in danger and will cry for their fears and injustices or laugh and celebrate victories. The Smell of Sugarcane is about the importance of instilling strong principles and good values at an early age. Without these, the children would have been lost. This book is about picking up the torch of life and holding it high while running with all one’s might. Ultimately, it is about good profoundly triumphing over evil.

This book is Bilingual (English and Spanish) Prologue: This is the Golden Gate of Triumph when written without hesitation with the hope that readers will find on each page a fountain of spiritual teachings that do not affect the faith of those who live in the Love of God. There are two kinds of writers: Those who write for life and those who write for the soul. At each point, there is the suspense of joy that produces a fountain of clear, unbound knowledge without the hypocrisy that often clouds the intrinsic form of spontaneity. Here we are not making a worldly analysis but a spiritual euphoria that will leave in each life the balm enough to transform the soul. These verses, like this index, are not mine; they are inspired by God in my long nights of Worship and Hope. I know there are and will be great skeptics because to believe in it, one needs to be close to God and to understand that divine power cannot be wrong by giving the world what is not the soul’s balm. “Here, end my words, and I begin my poems,” says the Lord. (December 18, 1977, during a cold night in New York) Prologo: Es la puerta de oro del triunfo cuando se escribe sin remilgos con la esperanza puesta en que los lectores encuentren en cada página un manantial de enseñanzas espirituales que no afecten la fe de aquellos que viven en el amor de Dios. Hay dos clases de escritores: los que escriben para la vida y los que escriben para el alma. En cada punto se encuentra el suspenso de la alegría que va produciendo un manantial de conocimientos claros, redondos, sin huecos de hipocresía que es la que enturbia la mayor aparte de las veces la forma intrínseca de los espontáneo. Aquí no se está haciendo un análisis mundanal sino un euforia espiritual que dejará en cada vida el bálsamo suficiente para transformar el alma. Estos versos como este índice, no son mío; son inspirado por Dios en mis largas noches de adoración y esperanzas. Sé que hay y seguirá habiendo grandes escépticos, porque para creer en ello se necesita estar bien cerca de Dios y saber que el poder divino no puede equivocarse dándole al mundo lo que no sea el bálsamo del alma. - “Aquí terminan mis palabras y doy comienzo a mis poesías”, dice el Señor. (Diciembre 18 de 1977, durante una noche fría en New York)

Poetry, oral folklore, and short stories have been a source of transfer of traditions and culture through many generations. Riddles and oral folklore continue to be a wealth of resources for parents to share with their children their history and traditions they inherited from previous generations. In Treasures in Prairie, author Sylvia Ulmer presents a compilation of fun stories and folklore. Presented in a poem format in both Spanish and English, the selections include memories of the stories told to Ulmer by her father, as well as tales and rhymes she shared with her children when they were young. From a wise turtle to the astute parrot and a hungry mouse, the selections help children learn about a variety of creatures and their habitat and traits. This anthology is geared for elementary children, but it also provides opportunities for all students to enrich their vocabulary in Spanish and English.
