A Dancing Flea and a Little
Ghost
Bilingual Children’s Books from the
University of Nevada Press
In November, the University of Nevada Press will
publish two children’s books with the complete text in
both English and Basque. These two charmingly illustrated
books, by the Basque Country’s leading author of
children’s books, mark the beginning of a new program
within the Press’s distinguished Basque
Series--bilingual editions for young and older readers
interested in the rich literature of one of Europe’s
most ancient and vital cultures.
Karmentxu and the Little Ghost
by Mariasun Landa
Translated by Linda White
Illustrated by Yon Zabaleta
Foreword by Elizabeth Francis
Karmentxu and the Little Ghost is a simply
told, warm-hearted story about a subject few American
children’s books address. Perched on a lamppost, the
little ghost tells the touching story of his friend
Karmentxu, who is mentally ill. This award-winning tale
speaks to the hearts and fears of all children.
