Description

Una niña no encuentra su tierra natal en un mapa. ¿Dónde está Palestina? No aparece… Layla necesita respuestas, necesita entender. Y pregunta a su familia. 

Layla y sus compañeros en el cole tienen la tarea de encontrar los países de origen de sus familias en un mapa, pero por mucho que busque, Layla no logra encontrar Palestina. ¿Puede existir un lugar si no está en un mapa? Confundida, recurre a su familia en busca de respuestas. Su abuelo, su abuela y su mamá le muestran su tierra natal desde una perspectiva diferente, y cada relato la ayuda a comprender la historia de su pueblo y su propio lugar en el mundo.

When I first saw this, I thought it would be a great opportunity to practice my Spanish but it became an emotional experience. I truly recommend this to everyone because of how important this is for children to learn. Always remember that children are smarter than we think and we have to educate them as early as possible!! A sweet read that made me teary-eyed.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC!

Layla se siente desconsolada al no encontrar Palestina en un mapamundi de la escuela. Todos los demás estudiantes pudieron encontrar el origen de sus familias, menos ella. Pero su familia le hace comprender que no necesita un mapa:

"A veces, las personas viven en países.
"A veces, los países viven en las personas.
"Palestina vive en mí. Palestina vive en ti."

¡Qué historia tan bonita!

Para ser totalmente transparente, recibí este libro de NetGalley, Publisher Spotlight y NubeOcho a cambio de una reseña honesta.
