Y de Pronto Es Primavera

Julie Fogliano

Un chico planta varias semillas para hacer un huerto y mira hacia el cielo esperando que caiga la lluvia. Lo acompañan su perro, una tortuga, un conejo y algunas aves. El cambio de las estaciones y, con ellas, los distintos colores del paisaje están representados con gran detalle. También se encuentra recreada con gran maestría la idea del paso del tiempo. El libro es no sólo una mirada elocuente a los procesos cíclicos de la naturaleza, sino también y sobre todo un poema visual que nos habla de la paciencia, la esperanza y la renovación constante de la vida. Considerada como una de las mejores obras para niños de 2012 según The Washington Post y el mejor libro infantil del mismo año según Kirkus Reviews.

A boy plants a bunch of seeds to make a garden, and he watches the sky, waiting for rain to fall. With him are his dog, his turtle, a rabbit, and some birds. The changing seasons and the different colors of the landscape are represented here in great detail, while the idea of the passage of time is masterfully represented. This book is not only an elegant look at the cyclical processes of nature; it's also a visual poem that speaks about patience, hope, and the constant renewal of life.

Praise for this book

"A first-time author and the Caldecott Award-winning illustrator . . . team up in this beautiful ode to a patient gardener . . . what's most fun to notice throughout are the small, subtle details on each page. It's not easy to wait . . . and wait . . . but children, like the boy, may realize that patience often yields big rewards." --Booklist starred review, on the English language edition
