“Ish . . . encourages readers to see the world anew.” —School Library Journal (starred review)
A Ramón le encantaba dibujar. En cualquier momento. Cualquier cosa. En cualquier lugar. Dibujar es lo que Ramón hace. Es lo que lo hace feliz. Sin embargo, en una fracción de segundo, todo eso cambió. Un comentario imprudente de su hermano mayor, León, convirtió las relajadas expresiones artísticas de Ramón, en esfuerzos sin placer. Por suerte para Ramón, Marisol, su hermana menor, ve la vida de otra manera y le abre los ojos hacia algo mucho más provechoso que hacer las cosas exactamente “correctas”.
Combinando lo sobrio de la fábula con el poder de la parábola, el creador de El punto resalta con un brillante rayo de luz la necesidad de encender y cultivar con cuidado nuestra llama creativa. Ramon loved to draw. Anytime. Anything. Anywhere.
Drawing is what Ramon does. It’s what makes him happy. But in one split second, all that changes. A single reckless remark by Ramon’s older brother, Leon, turns Ramon’s carefree sketches into joyless struggles. Luckily for Ramon, though, his little sister, Marisol, sees the world differently. She opens his eyes to something a lot more valuable than getting things just “right.” Combining the spareness of fable with the potency of parable, Peter H. Reynolds shines a bright beam of light on the need to kindle and tend our creative flames with care.
