Book Synopsis



De la autora de Magia: En una tierra muy lejana llega este canto a la imaginación; la historia de determinación de una niña que sueña con traer a las mariposas de vuelta, incluso si tiene que hacerlas ella misma.

¿Te imaginas una época en la que la tierra y el cielo pertenecían a las mariposas? Yo sí...

Una niña sueña con las mariposas amarillas que antes poblaban Veracruz y está decidida a recrear su esplendor, aún si significa hacerlas de papel. Cuando la naturaleza frustra sus planes, la magia y la lluvia traen algo más hermoso de lo que ella podría haber esperado.

Basada en los recuerdos de la autora sobre un huracán que desvió la migración de miles de mariposas hacia su ciudad natal cerca de Veracruz, México, esta hermosa historia captura la esencia de la imaginación y la belleza de lo inesperado.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From the author of Magic: Once Upon a Faraway Land comes a story of imagination and the determination of a child to bring back the butterflies-- even if she has to make them herself.

Can you imagine a time when the land and the sky belonged to the mariposas? I can . . .

A young girl dreams of the land's historic mariposas amarillas and is determined to re-create their glory, even if her butterflies are made of paper. But when nature thwarts her plans, life, magic, and yes, even the rain, bring something more beautiful than she ever could have crafted. Based on the author's own memories of a hurricane that diverted the migration of thousands of butterflies through her hometown near Veracruz, Mexico, this beautiful story captures the essence of imagination and the beauty of the unexpected.
