Original title
'La Llegenda de Sant Jordi'
What you need to know
- A Sant Jordi primer: a gentle introduction to the dragon legend behind Barcelona's April 23 day of books and roses.
- Told in pictures: each scene is drawn in sand as it is narrated, so kids follow the story by watching.
- Sit near an aisle with a 3-year-old: most small kids stay hooked on the drawing, but an aisle seat makes a quick break easy.
About
Grandmother Filomena sits in her rocking chair to tell the legend of Sant Jordi (Saint George), and while she narrates, sand artist Toni Ortiz draws the story on a light table. Dragons and princesses form out of handfuls of sand, then dissolve into the next scene. The pictures carry the story, so kids who don't follow every word of the narration can still keep up.
