Hogar (Home Spanish Edition)

Illustrated by Loren Long
Hogar es una soñolienta canción de cuna
y un murmullo de tráfico que de noche
se cuela entre tus cortinas.
 
Hogar es la tenue sirena de una barcaza lejana
mientras tu abuelo lanza el sedal
desde el borde de su casa flotante.

 
Así comienza esta emocionante celebración del hogar en sus diferentes formas. Ya que el hogar es una idea más profunda que los muros que levantamos a nuestro alrededor. Es la familia que demuestra su amor por medio de pequeños gestos cada día. Es la comunidad que se apoya en los tiempos difíciles. Y es la maravilla del mundo natural, un refugio que compartimos con todo ser viviente en la Tierra.
 
De Matt de la Peña y Loren Long, los creadores de Amor, el bestseller número uno del New York Times, llega esta sumamente emotiva oda a los lugares en donde nos sentimos seguros, amados y fieles a nosotros mismos, dondequiera que se encuentren.
