Peques Rebeldes (Little Rebels)

Written by Yuyi Morales
Illustrated by Yuyi Morales
Published by Neal Porter Books

 

De alguna forma, los peques rebeldes se encuentran unos a otros. Cuando estos tres peques se reúnen mientras juegan afuera, sienten ese tirón… esta es su gente.

Los peques rebeldes hacen preguntas. Usan el lenguaje para darle forma al mundo, y cuando no existen las palabras correctas, inventan nuevas. Imaginan, confían en su intuición y no se avergüenzan de cambiar de opinión.

Jugar juntos en los buenos tiempos los lleva a colaborar para resolver los problemas. Cuando el agua se seca y su amigo pájaro se hiere, los peques rebeldes llaman a sus predecesoras para que les enseñen qué hacer. Nadie se queda atrás.

Look for the English version, Little Rebels.
