Querido Papá Noel - (Somos8) by Jarvis (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

¿Qué le preguntarías a Papá Noel si pudieras conocerle? Una emocionante y divertida recopilación de preguntas que cualquiera le haría al personaje más querido de la Navidad.

En la noche más mágica del año, una niña encuentra a Papá Noel en su casa. ¡No puede creerlo! Emocionada, comienza a hacerle todas las preguntas que se le ocurren. Tras invitarlo a su mundo ("¿Quieres conocer a mis peces? ¿Quieres oírme tocar la flauta?"), llega un deseo universal: "¿Puedo montar en tu trineo?". Con los dos volando por el cielo, las preguntas continúan: "¿Puedes comer nubes? ¿Paras en los semáforos? ¿Tienes el ombligo hacia adentro o hacia afuera?, ¿Cuál es tu color favorito?".

Con su característica poética y un delicado humor visual, Jarvis canaliza la emoción de toda niña y niño que ha soñado con conocer a Papá Noel.

----------------------------------

With wit and affection, the inimitable Jarvis imagines the giddy wonder of a child who finds she has Santa all to herself--with free rein to ask all the questions that spring to mind.



Mr. Santa? Is it really you?

Did you read my letter?

And have you wiped your shoes?



When a little girl comes face-to-face with Santa in her own house, she can hardly believe it! After inviting him into her world (Do you want to meet my fishes? Do you want to hear me play?) comes that universal wish (Can I ride your sleigh?). With the two of them aloft, questions continue to fly: Can Santa eat clouds? Does he stop at traffic lights? Is his belly button innie or outie? Does he take a teddy to bed?

With signature warmth and a gentle visual humor, Jarvis channels the excitement of every child who has dreamed of meeting the jolly, generous old soul who personifies the most magical night of the year.

Following the success of Gracias and El niño con flores en la cabeza, Jarvis returns with more tenderness than ever in this delightful book full of wonder and whimsy.
