Description

Children's literacy advocate John Schu and Caldecott Honor recipient Lauren Castillo celebrate the power of finding the perfect book--in a story that's more relevant than ever.

Un cuento puede empezar con unas palabras en una página, pero evoluciona y se convierte en mucho más. Un cuento es una forma de explorar nuevas ideas, reunir a las personas y ayudar a darle sentido al mundo. Los cuentos quizá empiecen con poco, pero pueden crecer infinitamente... y, sobre todo, también pueden hacerlo sus lectores.

John Schu, uno de los maestros y bibliotecarios más queridos de Estados Unidos, celebra las maravillas de la lectura, inspirándose en su experiencia como campeón global de la literatura infantil. Con las ilustraciones cálidas e invitadoras de Lauren Castillo, artista ganadora de una mención de Honor Caldecott, Este es uncuento revela el gozo personal que pueden ofrecer los libros e invita a los lectores a explorar la magia

This is a word on a page.
This is a page in a book.
This is a book on a shelf . . . waiting.

With a sea-horse kite in hand, a child heads out with Dad to the library. On the way they stop at a park, joining lots of people, some of whom are flying kites, too. At the library, a person toting a big pile of books hands over a story on a favorite subject: the sea horse. All around, there are readers poring over books, each with their own questions, ideas to explore, hopes for the future, and imaginations ready to spark. With a warm, lyrical text and tenderly expressive illustrations, John Schu and Lauren Castillo invite us to imagine the myriad ways that books can foster connection and understanding--and how they can empower children, through their own passions, to transform the world.
