Description

Winner at the 2013 International Latino Book Awards. Close your eyes and breathe in. Discover Ana’s universe, a world of aromas and fragrances, where there is no room for the impossible.

When Ana’s was born, everything was dark. She could feel the warmth of her mother as she held her in her arms, the smell of her father’s newly washed shirt, and far away, she could hear the twittering of the birds as they slowly woke up to spring. But apart from that, everything else was darkness..

Ana’s spends her days cooking in an old house with her grandma. Although she can’t see, Ana’s has the gift of being able to feel our very deepest emotions and to bring them to life with her magical mixtures of cinnamon and saffron. But one day, she meets a person who awakens a boundless affection in her, someone who will introduce her senses to a completely unknown world.

If we set our minds to it, we can all turn what we perceive as weaknesses into strengths.

Ganador en los International Latino Book Awards de 2013. Cierra los ojos e inspira. Descubre el universo de Ana, lleno de aromas y fragancias, donde no caben imposibles.

Cuando Ana nació, todo estaba a oscuras. Podía sentir el calor de su mamá al sostenerla en sus brazos, el perfume de la camisa recién lavada de su papá y, muy a lo lejos, el trinar de los pájaros que despertaban con pereza a la primavera. Pero, por lo demás, todo estaba a oscuras..

Ana pasa las tardes entre ollas y fogones, cocinando en la antigua casa con su abuela. Aunque no puede ver, Ana tiene el don de conocer nuestras más íntimas emociones y de evocarlas con sus mágicas mezclas de canela y azafrán. Pero un día, encontrará una persona que despertará en ella una infinita ternura y abrirá sus sentidos a un mundo totalmente desconocido.

Un precioso cuento sobre cómo todos podemos transformar nuestras debilidades en fortalezas.

Reviews

“A grand story wrapped up in delicious packaging. The translation is still light on its feet and enjoyable to the ear. Better still are Wimmer’s effervescent illustrations, which dance about the text, bringing it fully to life.” —Kirkus Reviews

“A picture book that win our hearts by the beauty of its images and the tenderness of its history. A story of overcoming starring a girl who, due to her condition, develops the rest of her senses with greater intensity. Especially her smell will help her to move around the world in the dark. This book conveys a powerful message: we can all do special things, if we are able to enhance our gifts.” —Apegoyliteratura

“A moving story that from the beginning and in a poetic way explore how blindness becomes a strength, since the young protagonist develops in an extraordinary way other senses that she explores and shares with everyone. Sonja Wimmer's soft, expressive, tender, delicate, colorful illustrations, full of infinite nuances, dance in perfect balance with a text that conveys pure emotion. Simply exquisite, with a very sweet flavor.” —El árbol rojo, a Children’s Literature Magazine.

“Tenderness, kindness, simplicity and charm mixed together transformed into a deep story in a picture book format. A tale that we should all read and know. Where there’s a will there’s a way, and once again, there is no room for the impossible.” —Locura de lectura
