What's it about

On November 21 the book " Ortupoemak " by Leire Bilbao and Yolanda Mosquera will be presented. " This is a beautiful illustrated book for writing a poem every day. You will find a fun garden in it, made up of forty-six poems and divided into four seasons: the autumn harvest, the winter garden, the spring flowers and the taste of summer. Where vegetables, fruit, trees, plants and animals are the local protagonists. As Basque oral literature and old tales used to do, these poems bring us to a time when everything had a voice. And, among other things, you will discover in this book the resources nature offers us, respect for the environment, healthy eating, references to tradition and, above all, a fine sense of humor. After Xomorropoemak and other creatures, and Veus interiors and other small sounds, this new work surprises us from Leire Bilbao, winner of the 2025 National Children's and Youth Literature Prize, and illustrator Yolanda Mosquera.
