A 2019 Bank Street Best Children's Picture Book of the Year in Spanish

A 2019 Bank Street Best Children's Picture Book of the Year in Spanish

En el comienzo hay luz,
y dos siluetas de grandes ojos
al pie de tu cuna,
y el sonido de sus voces es amor.

Amor es la melodía que nos acompaña todos y cada uno de los días de nuestra vida. Ya sea el suave arrullo de nuestros padres a la hora de dormir, la risa divertida que provoca un cuento inventado por nuestro tío o el abrazo cálido de un ser querido que nos tranquiliza, es un sentimiento que toma diferentes formas y un lazo que nos une a todos.

En esta emotiva celebración del amor, Matt de la Peña, autor ganador de la Medalla Newbery, y Loren Long, renombrado ilustrador y de gran éxito en ventas, describen las diferentes maneras en que experimentamos este vínculo universal. Con emotivas ilustraciones y un susurrante texto lírico, esta tierna historia nos brinda tranquilidad y también un nuevo clásico que calará hondo en los lectores de todas las edades.

Five Starred Reviews

"[A] poetic reckoning of the importance of love in a child's life . . . eloquent and moving."--People Magazine

"Everything that can be called love -- from shared joy to comfort in the darkness -- is gathered in the pages of this reassuring, refreshingly honest picture book."--The New York Times Book Review, Editors' Choice / Staff Picks From the Book Review

"Lyrical and sensitive, 'Love' is the sort of book likely to leave readers of all ages a little tremulous, and brimming with feeling."--The Wall Street Journal

★ "De la Peña's prose poem speaks right to young children. . . . People often talk to children about love; in these pages, they can see and feel what it's like. And there's plenty for everybody."--Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Love that comes untested is perhaps not love strong enough for troubled times. This book looks into the darkness and still finds stars twinkling overhead."--The New York Times Book Review
