Fran PintaderaRezensionen

When a thunderstorm causes a power outage, a little box asks, "Dad, have you ever been afraid?" Max's dad answers honestly that everyone is afraid sometimes, and lists some different types of fears, which are pictured as dark egg shapes. Max's dad's straightforward answer gives Max the courage to ask for scary stories by candlelight, even after the power returns.

Back matter includes several paragraphs about fear, and some questions and writing/drawing activities.

Niño caníbal, como el resto de su alegre tribu, está siempre atento para ver a quién le puede hincar el diente. A priori, nadie está a salvo de esta voraz pero simpática gente, acostumbrada a resolver sus problemas en la mesa; ni el vendedor ambulante, ni el perro, ni los alumnos que desafinan, ni tampoco —¡ay, qué pesar!— la mamá.

This book looks at common fears, people have, and why this makes them afraid. It starts with a power outage and a child learning that fears are important, but they can always be defeated. The illustrations in this book are simply beautiful and are a joy to look at when turning page to page. The story is well done and is a great example of why fear is OK. Overall, this book is lovely and there will be some who want to read it over and over again.

translated from Spanish.

Um conto (com um completo Guia de leitura) que fala das emoções sem limitá-las, sem que se apresente como um manual.

Uma maneira inteligente e sensível de tratar as crianças e de mostrar-lhe que todos podemos chorar, que é bom chorar.

This was so cute and heartwarming to read! The art style was very different to what I've been seeing lately and I really enjoyed it.

Beautiful book, on a topic we can all learn more about.

Looking for an explanation on crying for a preschooler. She had questions about why not everyone was crying at a burial and this helped.

Wonderful illustrations, coupled with simple, but profound answers to the question in the title. All are offered by a mother when her young son asks the question. All are great answers, but the one that jumped out at me was this one: "We cry because, sometimes, we don't understand the world, and our tears go in search of the answers we need."

Denak gara desberdinak. Premisa horrekin ageri zaigu Kandido: pertsona xelebrea, inguratzen duen munduaren aurrean den bezalakoa azaltzeko premia duena, onartua izateko premia duena. Harrigarria da hain testu soil honek nola eragiten duen hain gogoeta sakon eta beharrezkoa, gure gizarte zail eta katramilatu honetan.

Album irudidunak egiteko Nazioarteko XI. Compostela Saria irabazi duen ipuineko protagonista bitxia arraroa sentitzen da; irakurleekin batera begiratzen die beste pertsonei, eta ohartuko gara nola begiratzen dioten denek berari. Gizartearen aldaketei eta joera berdintzaileari ezikusia eginez, lekuz kanpo sentitzen da, baina, aldi berean, oharkabean pasatu nahian. Sentibera da, zalantzati, norbait baita, kontuan hartzekoa. Eta mundua toki arrotza bilakatu bada ere pertsonarentzat eta naturarentzat, zerbaitek lotzen du beti Kandido mundura, besteengana. Agian ez denengana, baina hori beste kontu bat da...
