Lucero

"Una cervatilla se adentra en el mundo por primera vez con pasos inciertos. Respira profunda y experimenta nuevas visiones y sonidos mientras una dulce voz la anima a lo largo del camino. Ella observa y escucha, a medida que explora el paisaje lleno de vida de la frontera, y aprende a hacerse oír cuando se enfrenta a una barrera al parecer infranqueable."
Told with a combination of powerful, spare language and sumptuous and complex imagery that is typical of Yuyi Morales's work, this is the story of a fawn making her way through a border landscape teaming with flora and fauna native to the region. A gentle but empowering voice encourages her to face her fears when she comes across an obstacle in the form of an insurmountable barrier. Yuyi Morales' first book since her bestseller Dreamers is a book for very young children looking for their place in a world full of uncertainty. It is a book with resonance for all children, especially those whose safety is threatened due to the immigration crisis in the US.
