Description



Book Synopsis



Winner at the 2015 International Latino Book Awards. Mariama embarks on a journey towards a new life and a new realization-her roots will always remain in her and that differences can bring people closer.

Everything's new for Mariama after a long journey by car, train, boat, and plane from Africa. She's going to discover a world where the streets, her school, and the food are all different. But what about the people? She will have to work hard to learn the language that moon-white children speak, but with the help of her new friends Hugo and Paula, Mariama will discover that, despite all the different customs and traditions that exist between them, there is something that brings them closer beyond all the differences: the pleasure of playing and laughing.

A beautiful tale about identity, the process of integration, and solidarity. Are you ready to meet Mariama and play with her.

About the Author



The award-winning author Jerónimo Cornelles combines his work as a writer with the stage management, performance, and artistic direction of the theatre company Bramant Teatre and the artistic direction of the Russafa Escènica theatre festival. He has written several plays which have been published in different collections and won numerous prizes, some of which have been translated and performed in countries including Italy, France, and Argentina.

Nívola Uyà is a Spanish award-winning illustrator and visual artist, with a degree in Environmental Sciences. She loves nature as much as illustration and, whenever possible, combines both worlds. She makes illustrations for books, campaigns, audiovisual, and murals, as well as illustration and creativity workshops in many corners of the world, convinced that the creative process brings out the best in people and makes us more sensitive.

With a palette of luminous colors and a magical-realistic style, she likes to capture possible and optimistic worlds, that spread love and hope. She has more than a dozen illustrated albums published in English, Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese, German and Swahili, distinguished with several international awards, such as the Silver Medal at the Moonbeam Children's Book Awards for Best Illustrator, and Best Illustrated Album Award at the International Latino Book Awards and the selection Seal Chair of UNESCO for Reading.
