It's evening in the forest and Little Owl wakes up from his day-long sleep to watch his friends enjoying the night. Hedgehog sniffs for mushrooms, Skunk nibbles at berries, Frog croaks, and Cricket sings. A full moon rises and Little Owl can't understand why anyone would want to miss it. Could the daytime be nearly as wonderful?

El libro surge como una explicación certera de cómo y por qué se lee, partiendo de ennumerables preguntas que neurólogos, tipógrafos y editores llevan resolviendo de modo individual.

"As much as in other countries, there is a bildungsroman novel in Spanish America like the ones of Güiraldes, Vargas Llosa, and Pacheco. However, less studied is the same genre of novel written by women. Examines growing pains and search for freedom in a patriarchal society in the works of Elena Poniatowska, Rosario Castellanos, Claribel Alegría, Rosario Ferré, and Beatriz Guido. Interesting contribution to the growing body of studies on these writers"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
