O Elefante por Peter Carnavas
Uma abordagem delicada rara e única sobre as emoções e de questões como perda, tristeza, solidão, amizade e amor. (Letra de imprensa, 17 livros)
Quiet Girl by Peter Carnavas is a beautiful picture book worth reading.
Quiet Mary hears a lot because she's so timid and quiet. Her quietness gives her an amazing ability: She can appreciate the better things in life - like dragonflies buzzing and dogs snoring. But, her low volume means many people don't hear her or even listen. It started to become a problem, and she felt like she wasn't even there. Until one day, people listened.
The illustrations remind me of old school Charlie Brown - simplistic, colourful and nostalgic. It was a very homey feeling. There's also a section on mindfulness which I think is super helpful for children (and adults alike) to learn!
It's such a sweet little story that makes for a great children's picture book. I utterly adore it and I highly recommend it.
Four out of five stars.

El elefante explora un tema como el duelo por un ser querido con una escritura delicada, empática y muy cercana a los lectores más jóvenes.

Con la ayuda de su abuelo y de su mejor amigo, Arthur, Olivia se propone librarse del elefante para siempre. Pero ¿será capaz Olivia de mover algo tan enorme?
