Some Suggestions from Professor Ruth Behar

a) Consider the relationship between image and text and how they complement and augment each other.

b) What kinds of parallel dialogues are created by images and texts in Estévez's books?

c) If you had to illustrate a favorite text of poetry or a favorite short story, what images might you create to augment their meaning? Consider books designed by Estévez to think about the role of metaphor, image, and visual concepts in the construction of our understanding of texts and how we read.
