El regalo perdido de Papá Noel

A mischievous little girl and her toy monkey swing irresistibly through the pages of this playful book. Young children will love guessing what animal they are pretending to be, before shouting out the answers as the pages are turned to reveal the real creatures.

This novel, narrated in two voices for their characters, playing strong themes that make up the life of a boy and a girl living in Havana, Cuba. Discrimination, sexism, harassment, female subjugation, homosexuality, are treated with subtlety through metaphors, pauses, silences and innuendos that make this a moving and thoughtful book.

Hopping, skipping, and running prove to be fun but tiring activities, so maybe it is best to have a rest.

When anyone invites Pedro to play, he replies he is already playing because he always has his cell phone in his hands or he is logged into his gaming system. He ends up missing out on all kinds of fun.
