Book Synopsis

Del autor ganador de la Newbery Medal Matt de la Peña y el ilustrador bestseller Loren Long, los creadores de Love, el bestseller número uno del New York Times, llega una edición en español de esta sumamente emotiva oda a los lugares en donde nos sentimos seguros, amados y fieles a nosotros mismos, dondequiera que se encuentren.

Hogar es una soñolienta canción de cuna
y un murmullo de tráfico que de noche
se cuela entre tus cortinas.

Hogar es la tenue sirena de una barcaza lejana
mientras tu abuelo lanza el sedal
desde el borde de su casa flotante.

Así comienza esta emocionante celebración del hogar en sus diferentes formas. Ya que el hogar es una idea más profunda que los muros que levantamos a nuestro alrededor. Es la familia que demuestra su amor por medio de pequeños gestos cada día. Es la comunidad que se apoya en los tiempos difíciles. Y es la maravilla del mundo natural, un refugio que compartimos con todo ser viviente en la Tierra.

From Newbery Medal winning author Matt de la Peña and bestselling illustrator Loren Long, the creators of the #1 New York Times bestseller Love, comes a Spanish language edition of this deeply moving ode to the places we feel safe, loved, and true to ourselves--wherever they might be.

Home is a tired lullaby
and a late-night traffic that mumbles in
through a crack in your curtains.

Home is the faint trumpet of a distant barge
as your grandfather casts his line
from the edge of his houseboat.

So begins this stirring celebration of home in its many forms. For home is an idea more profound than the walls we build up around ourselves. It's the family that shows its love through small gestures every day. It's the community that sees one another through hard times. And it's the wonder of the natural world, a refuge we share with every living thing on Earth.

Review Quotes

* "The lovely and poetic text will bring readers a feeling of calm and encourage them to slow down and pause. Heartwarming and striking illustrations depict families in embrace, moments of peace, and even difficult scenes of loss and hardship--but readers will always find love and home in each image. Both language editions are eloquent and will evoke feelings of tranquility and peace. A stunning and lyrical title that is a perfect addition to English and Spanish-language picture book collections for children, and an excellent choice to share with children of all ages.--School Library Journal, starred review
