Cuentos para leer con los abuelos (y las abuelas) es una recopilación de nueve historias donde los protagonistas son niños y niñas que tienen la suerte de contar con abuelos muy particulares. Sabios, divertidos, filósofos, extravagantes, los abuelos y las abuelas que aparecen en este libro se salen de los convencionalismos para enseñarnos que en la vida no todo es lo que parece. Con ellos descubriremos cómo recuperar los colores, de qué manera entrar en los castillos de arena, cuál es la vida secreta de los objetos, cómo debemos cuidar a las plantas o lo importante qué es saber mirar dentro de la gente.
“Stories to read with grandparents” is a collection of 9 short stories in which the main characters are boys and girls lucky enough to have very special grandparents. Wise, funny, philosophical, extravagant; the grandfathers and grandmothers in this book leave behind conventions in order to teach us that in life, things aren’t always as they seem. With them we will discover how to recover the colours, how to enter sandcastles, the secret life of objects, how to take care of plants, and how important it is to see people for who they are on the inside.
“Stories to read with grandparents” talks about the bond that these lessons and adventures create between the grandchildren and their grandparents: a uniquely special relationship that will stay with them forever. A book to tell to children from 4 years, but children 8 years or older will also enjoy reading on their own.
