De la creadora de Sonadores, exito de ventas de The New York Times, nos llega una historia conmovedoramente hermosa acerca de crecer, empoderarse y encontrar la propia voz. Contado con la combinaci n de lenguaje sobrio y poderoso y las metaforas suntuosas y complejas tipica de la obra de Yuyi Morales, esta es la historia de una cervatilla que se abre paso a traves del paisaje de la frontera, repleto de la flora y la fauna nativas de la regi n. Una voz dulce, pero que la estimula y le otorga fuerza, anima a la cervatilla a enfrentar sus temores cuando encuentra un obstaculo en forma de una barrera infranqueable. Estas despierta, mi amor! Estas viva! Eres un lucero en nuestros corazones. Este es el primer libro de Yuyi Morales despues de Sonadores, exito de ventas de The New York Times, y esta dirigido a lectores muy j venes que buscan su lugar en un mundo lleno de incertidumbre.

Reviews

"The suspenseful, poetic Spanish text is perfect for sharing with young readers. Lush illustrations depict the beautiful desert full of life, refreshing evening showers, fear and panic brought on by the appearance of the wall-but also, the possibilities and hope for a better future."-School Library Journal, Starred Review "An effective picture book both for learning about the Sonoran Desert's many layers and ecological diversity and for emphasizing for younger readers the dangers of harsh divisions. . . With all the careful and lush attention to detail, this is a picture book worth coming back to over and again. Whether in English or Spanish, keep a space for it on the shelf."-Booklist, Starred Review
