El Niño Que Buscaba el Silencio

Ariadna leaves the house pouting and takes a handful of thread with her. Playing, she swings from a tree, builds a bridge, becomes a tightrope walker, and fishes for clouds. All the while, her father awaits her return, upset that she ripped the string from her puppet out of anger. Filled with surprises, this book helps parents talk to their children about learning to control their emotions.

"Is that my cat? It can't be." Something's up with this rather large kitty, the same one who used to fit through the cat door and climb trees fearlessly.

An elephant suddenly finds himself burrowed inside the den of a leopard. Terrified, he asks for help. The leopard, following an absurd logic, teaches him how to escape from the den. Then, to the leopard's horror, he finds himself immersed in the deep sea. Here begins the chain of unexpected and desperate situations where we find many animals acting as "fish out of water." The animals continually help one another in these unfamiliar environments by applying common sense. An illustrated story with artistic collages, this book features color in a vivid new way.
