LA CASA. This item is unavailable.LA CASA

The house knew many things, but it had to learn them all again…

A house provides shelter and becomes a protector for a family who, day after day, fill its corners with laughter, love, and memories. Its walls are covered with warmth and become a true home. The house becomes another inhabitant.

Until one day... A fire destroys everything that the house believed gave meaning to its life. It stands silent, empty. And, despite everything it has experienced, full of doubts that will make it forget what it never ceased to be.

A story that reminds us of the power of words and self-esteem to heal.

A message of hope where the passage of time will give us the strength we need to face adversity.

With beautiful illustrations combining mixed media techniques of pencil, gouache, and collage, a poetic text is brought to life amid scenes where nature itself blossoms, sheltering animals, plants, and flowers.

A beautiful and magical picture book that will delight readers of all ages, showing them that the light of hope will always shine through the ashes and cracks.

La casa sabía muchas cosas, pero tuvo que volver a aprenderlo todo…

Una casa da cobijo y se convierte en protectora de una familia que, día tras día, llenan sus rincones de risas, amor y recuerdos. Sus paredes se revisten de calidez y se convierten en un verdadero hogar. La casa se convierte en un habitante más.

Hasta que un día…

Un incendio destruye todo lo que la casa creía que daba sentido a su vida.

Quedará muda, vacía. Y, a pesar de todo lo vivido, repleta de dudas que la harán olvidar lo que nunca dejó de ser.

Una historia que nos recuerda el poder de la palabra y la autoestima para sanar.

Un mensaje de esperanza donde el paso del tiempo dará la fuerza necesaria para afrontar la adversidad.

Con hermosas ilustraciones que combinan la técnica mixta de lápices, gouache y collage, un poético texto cobra vida entre escenarios donde brota la propia naturaleza que cobija animales, plantas y flores.

Un bello y mágico álbum ilustrado que enamorará a lectores de todas las edades, mostrándoles que entre las cenizas y las grietas siempre se filtrará la luz de la esperanza.

Alberto Martín (NiñoCactus) made a deal with his parents: since he disliked eating so much, they would give him a book for every pound he gained. Soon, the boy from Salamanca had his head so full of imaginary characters that they created their own world. He began to write in order to express himself and answer difficult questions, until one day he discovered in stories the gift of a new way to play. A storyteller, musician, puppeteer, and winner of the 2015 Fundación Cuatrogatos Award, he confesses that he still has many treasures to discover, while those he finds become stories.
