Description

Para los fans de Last Stop on Market Street llega una historia inspiradora sobre un niño que se mantiene fiel a su sueño más grande mientras encuentra magia en cada momento.

Algunas personas sueñan con olas perfectas, castillos lujosos o pilotear un avión. Otras sueñan con alguien con quien reír y jugar el día entero. Algunas solo sueñan con tener comida para el día siguiente.

¿Y el pequeño Miguel? Mientras él y su abuelito trabajan bajo el ardiente sol oaxaqueño vendiendo cocos y atrapasueños para ganarse unas monedas, Miguel solo conserva un simple deseo: tener a sus padres a su lado. Pero ¿cómo puede seguir confiando cuando la verdad es que los sueños no siempre se hacen realidad?

Esta conmovedora historia de esperanza y resiliencia de MarceloVerdad demuestra que vivir en el aquí yel ahora puede ser un viaje tan hermoso como un sueño.

None

Verdad's illustrations...have a playful feel that recalls Christian Robinson's child-centric style...adorable in their simplicity.

Kirkus

The plot is a fun, reassuring twist on several common themes. Great for bedtime or anytime.

School Library Journal

A warm story for explaining that underlying answers aren't always obvious, and that readers can't know what others are going through. Good for read-alouds and SEL shelves.

ALA/Booklist

The artwork in this debut picture book has that Todd Parr appeal of familiarity and achievability for toddlers and young children.... the message of teddy bears as nighttime protectors will be comforting to many a tiny reader.
