¡Me Llamo La Chiva!
Description

Para los fanáticos de El camioncito azul, El camión rojo y La pequeña locomotora que sí pudo, llega esta oda en verso a un colorido autobús de América del Sur y a la esencia colectiva de su gente.

Este alegre libro-álbum rimado es el primer libro de la autora, fue ilustrado por la estimada creadora de Luces nocturnas e Hicotea, y acompaña al icónico bus, o chiva, en su recorrido por las escarpadas montañas de los Andes, celebrando la rica cultura y el exuberante paisaje de Colombia que la película Encanto, de Disney, presentó de manera tan espléndida.
