Alexandria Giardinoand Felicita Sala’s poetic, beautifully illustrated picture book is inspired by Ode to the Onion by Chilean poet Pablo Neruda (1904–1973).
A Junior Library Guild Selection
Pablo has a lunch date with his friend Matilde, who shows the moody poet her garden. Where Pablo sees conflict and sadness, Matilde sees love and hope.
The story is less a biography of Neruda and his muse, Matilde Urrutia (1912–1985), and more a simple ode to a vegetable that is humble and luminous, dark and light, gloomy and glad, full of grief and full of joy—just like life.
“Children who love words should warm to Alexandria Giardino’s Ode to an Onion: Pablo Neruda & His Muse . . . In Felicita Sala’s vivacious and beautifully detailed drawings, done in colored pencil, Mathilde’s smile and Pablo’s glum expression give a tender humor to this real-life relationship.” —New York Times
“Gloomy versus hopeful. Therein lies the timeless tension between Nobel Laureate Pablo Neruda and his wife-to-be in this lovingly envisioned and supremely handsome book.” —San Francisco Chronicle

Very comfortable. Great fit.
Great fit, very comfortable, wear all day, 40-50 degree weather with sweater or heat tech. Weight was just right not bulky or heavy. Best of all its machine washable unlike many of these coats.

Great product and value for money
Size: XX-Large, Color: Army Green
Value for money is great. Coat really absorbs cold. Just need to test if it water resistant. Laundry / cleaning of the product is also easy with instruction on the label.
