Kubi lived quietly in a small farm in a Vietnamese village, accompanied by good friends. Every day was an adventure. Riding on his friend Ang, a large water buffalo, they plowed the muddy fields so that rice could be planted. One night, there was a big party on the farm to celebrate the Vietnamese New Year, Tet. Music filled every corner of the farm, so Kubi decided to find a cozy spot away from the noise and fell asleep in a little boat… until he woke up far away from his farm!
His life will suddenly change and Kubi will embark on a great adventure far from his home. A story, based on real events and illustrated with beautiful watercolors, that will allow us to accompany this little four-legged adventurer on his adventure and share his same emotions.
Kubi vivía tranquilo en una granja de una aldea vietnamita, acompañado de buenos amigos. Cada día era una aventura. A lomos de su amigo Arni, araban los campos inundados de agua para que los campesinos pudieran sembrar el arroz. Una noche hubo una gran fiesta en la granja para celebrar el nuevo año vietnamita. La música llenaba cada rincón de la granja, así que Kubi decidió alejarse y se quedó dormido en un barquito… ¡Hasta que se despertó lejos de su granja!
Su vida cambiará de repente y Kubi se embarcará en una gran aventura lejos de su hogar. Una historia, basada en hechos reales e ilustrado con bellas acuarelas, que nos permitirá acompañar a este pequeño aventurero de cuatro patas en su aventura y compartir sus mismas emociones.
“A quietly alluring introduction to the riverside village world of Vietnam. Kubi's modest adventure has decided charm, from the rich, gay colors of the landscape to the distinctive Vietnamese (or, more generally, Southeast Asian) touches to the sweet faces of the animals. A quietly alluring introduction to the riverside village world of Vietnam.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Cute little dogs are always winners, and Kubi is no exception (...) The illustrations are rendered in watercolor and have a tranquil quality to them. This is a lovely book about a place many readers may know little about, made more familiar by the routines and antics of a small dog. —Booklist
