Silencio
Silence visits me at the riverside. Then he hides. What if I can spot him between the waves of cool water? Or does he rest in the high mountains? Maybe inside the trees? What if I could go find him?
A quiet river, a special girl’s gaze and the wise natural world invite us to listen soundlessly to what cannot be heard. The illustrations with paper cutouts and candy lighting create a symbolic adventure between dream and reality.
An evocative wordless picture book, where playing is guaranteed and endless narrations are possible.

Un viaje en silencio por diferentes paisajes del mundo natural donde todo es posible. Abre este libro y déjate inspirar por narraciones interminables y aventuras inspiradoras.El silencio me visita a la orilla del río. Luego se esconde. ¿Y si estuviera en las ondas del agua fresca? ¿O en las altas montañas? ¿O en el interior de los árboles? ¿Y si pudiera ir a buscarlo?
Un río, la mirada de una niña y el mundo natural sabio en silencios nos invitan a escuchar lo que no se oye. Las ilustraciones con recortes de papel y luz de caramelo, crean una sugerente aventura entre el sueño y la realidad.
Un evocador álbum sin palabras, donde el juego y un sinfín de narraciones son posibles.
