Book Synopsis

¿A quién no le gustan los besos? Hay para todos los gustos, los de la mañana y los de la noche, besos de película, de despedida y los besos de la tía.

¡Hay muchos tipos de besos!
Besos grandes y pequeñitos, besotes, besazos. Pueden ser besos de enamorados o los más tristes, los de despedida. También hay besos divertidos, que hacen cosquillas, como los de las mascotas.
Los besos suenan diferente según el idioma: smuack, chū o mua. Y se puede dar uno, dos ¡o tres, como en algunos lugares de Francia! Los de los padres calman y los de los abuelos son dulces. Hay un beso para cada ocasión y besos que nunca se olvidan.

Mariona Tolosa was born in Barcelona (Spain) in 1983. Even as a child, she drew what she saw all around her, with a focus on human relationships. She studied illustration in Barcelona at "Escola de la Dona," where she found her world through acrylic, pencil, collage and digital techniques.
