«Lúa do Senegal» is the children's and young adult novel by Agustín Fernández Paz, published by Edicións Xerais in paperback (200 pages, in Galician).
Khoedi, a ten-year-old girl, leaves her home in Casamance, southern Senegal, to join her father, who has emigrated to Vigo. In the new city everything feels strange to her and she misses her former life; the moon shining at night becomes the thread linking her two worlds. Told in the first person, the novel addresses emigration and uprootedness, and shows a protagonist who finds comfort in the stories she learned from her grandmother.
It is the first novel Agustín Fernández Paz published after receiving the National Prize for Children's Literature. The edition includes illustrations by Marina Seoane. The work belongs to the Sopa de Libros collection, recommended for readers aged 10 and up.
Suitable for young early readers, particularly those approaching stories about emigration, identity and multiculturalism, with an illustrated edition in Galician.
Spanish writer (1947–2016)
