  • ¿Dónde está Perro Grande? (Spanish Edition)

    ¡Muy agradecida con Netgalley y la editorial por la oportunidad de leer y reseñar este libro!

    En este breve relato acompañamos a una chica que sufre la pérdida de uno de sus perritos, el más mayorcito llamado Perro Grande, y como maneja todos sus sentimientos, los cambios de rutina, la gente pregunta por él etc. Es un libro que en un muy corto período de lectura introduce a los niños a todo lo que conlleva la pérdida de tu compañerito de vida, como eso afecta tu vida pero también como sigue habiendo vida después de un suceso tan desolador.

    Las ilustraciones son tipo acuarela, con el uso de una paleta de colores preciosa y más bien suave, agradable para los ojitos de los más pequeños e incluso algo nostálgico para los mayores. Las ilustraciones a veces están conectadas entre una página y otra, jugando así con la disposición y dinamizando la lectura, pero sin despistar ni interrumpir esta. Además, no se siente cargado entre las ilustraciones y el texto, siento que se ha encontrado un balance muy bueno que podría mantener la atención de los niños en la lectura sin sobrecargar ni sobre estimularlos.

    Aunque no parece ser una lectura recurrente a la que los niños quieran volver, siento que no está solamente orientado a aquellos que acaban de sufrir una pérdida, sino también para enseñarles lo que significa una pérdida así antes de que esta ocurra. No es una lectura de noche, sino de una maña o tarde en la que los pequeños puedan interactuar libremente con este nuevo concepto, hacer preguntas o incluso entristecerse al pensar en una pérdida futura. Aunque cada pariente tiene que ser consciente de cuando sería un momento adecuado para instruir sobre un concepto así, siento que es muy necesario y este libro puede ser el indicado, ya que también acaba con un mensaje positivo y esperanzador. La muerte y pérdida es algo inevitable, pero siempre que el amor permanezca, también lo hará su recuerdo y presencia.

  • what book got you into reading?

    hey guys!!!

    i always find it interesting when people tell me what books got them into reading, when i was young i loved to read but i eventually stopped when i was in high school. i only got back into reading about 3-4 years ago.

    The book that got me back into it was the seven husbands of evelyn hugo and the midnight library. what was/were yours? 🫶

    Extremely grateful to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the opportunity to read this book pre-publishing!

    Milk and Mocha are a very familiar couple to me as I follow the author's Instagram account and share most of the illustrations with my partner, so when noticed that this work was available for FREE in Netgalley I knew I had to check it. As expected, this collection of short comics were sweet, cozy, relatable and just perfect as a little reading "snack" between deeper more intricate reads. Their contrasting personalities make it perfect for different people to relate to one or the other, ad also feel represented as Mocha seems to use a board to talk whenever they are not feeling very verbal. Matcha and Mustard also add to the overall cuteness of the stories as they can remind us of our own doggies and cats (or even more peculiar pets such as snakes or tortoises). I haven't yet read the first volume but after reading this one I will surely do so. Highly recommended if you love the tooth rooting fluff tag in ao3 :D
