“With Spanish words peppering the story, found in the illustrations, and always apparent from the context, this is an ebullient story winningly told and with a very unusual angle: older man moves through grief and finds a new friend. Readers see enough of Quica to adore her, too, and this is a side of married life-aging but animated, curious about everything, deeply in love-that is not often glimpsed in picture books.”

El Fantasma del Museo Blanes (The Ghost of the Blanes Museum)

Written by Lau Moraiti
Illustrated by Lau Moraiti
Published by Paw Prints

Clara es un fantasma que vive en el ahora museo que una vez fue su hogar. Pero ser un fantasma es solitario y Clara anhela la conexión que alguna vez disfrutó. La música es su único consuelo y practicar cuando cree que nadie lo está”. alrededor la hace sentir más viva. Poco sabe ella, alguien está escuchando. El guardia de seguridad del museo, Rodríguez, que está tan solo como ella.

Esta es una historia sobre el poder del aplauso y la capacidad de sanación cuando tienes a un buen amigo a tu lado.
