El Parvulito

Experience the happiness the children feel in this delightfully illustrated version of the traditional rhyme. This book has been translated into Spanish.

Estas nueve historias nacieron de los relatos de la Panchita, una campesina que recuerda su niñez en el campo entre gallinas, pavos, vacas y patos. Pero eso no es todo, porque junto a sus pequeños hermanos, nuestra protagonista también verá tortillas voladoras, lenguas de fuego, mujeres que parecen brujas y agua como oro. Alicia Morel nos entrega una muestra más de su talento con este maravilloso nuevo libro que encantará a todos los niños y a quienes todavía sueñan con los días que se fueron.

The teacher always says: "Speak louder!" Her mother always says: "Don't be shy!" Her grandfather tells her: "Don't pay attention, silence is gold, beautiful." But Jenny would rather be stealthy and fierce, like a shark. When Jenny's mother works late at the hospital, Jenny stays with her friend Amina. Together they spend hours in silence, reading and drawing. Meanwhile, Jenny's grandfather is mourning the death of his wife. Maybe Jenny and Amina can help him.

In the evening, between supper and bedtime, an invisible fairy slips into homes to steal tears of shame, fear, pain, and sadness.
