La Cosa Más Bella (Spanish Edition)
Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade
Una historia real, cargada de amor y ternura, de una niña que encuentra la belleza donde nunca lo imaginó. Sacado de la experiencia de la autora Kao Kalia Yang durante su niñez como refugiada Hmong, este conmovedor libro ilustrado presenta una familia que tiene poco dinero pero mucho amor para dar. Al entrecruzar la historia de Kalia con la de su adorada abuela, el libro pasa de las selvas de Laos a los primeros años de la familia en los Estados Unidos. Cuando Kalia se siente triste por tener que prescindir de cosas esenciales y desea ponerse ortodoncias para mejorar su sonrisa, es su abuela (una mujer que solo tenía un diente en su boca) quien la ayuda a ver que la verdadera belleza se encuentra junto a quienes más amamos. Las magníficas ilustraciones de la ilustradora vietnamita Khoa Le dan vida a este cuento intergeneracional. Una reflexión profunda y conmovedora sobre la superación de adversidad y el amor generacional.
