Mi hermano está lejos (My Brother is Away Spanish Edition)

Illustrated by Luisa Uribe
Translated by Maria Correa
En este libro conmovedor basado en las experiencias propias de la autora, una niña reflexiona sobre las emociones y los desafíos que enfrenta en torno al encarcelamiento de su hermano.

Con su hermano mayor en prisión, una niña aprende a procesar las emociones confusas que crea su ausencia. A veces recuerda la forma en que su hermano la cargaba sobre sus hombros o como inventaba historias para contarle a la hora de acostarse. Otras veces se siente enojada y quiere volar lejos para olvidar lo sucedido.
 
Así que está emocionada y además nerviosa cuando su mamá y su papá la llevan a visitarlo. Pero los nervios se transforman en alegría cuando lo ve: todo es diferente, pero todo sigue igual. Su hermano no está en casa, pero su amor no ha cambiado.
 
Con un lenguaje sóbrio, suave y reconfortante, este libro ilustrado ayudará a los lectores jóvenes con historias similares a sentirse menos solos y les dará a otros lectores una ventana a las luchas que enfrentan algunos niños.
