O Elefante par 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.
Thank you to NetGalley and Pajama Press for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.… (plus d'informations)
