Una Piedra Inmóvil

About this book

In the middle of nature, a stone rested. The stone was many things, depending on who looked at it and visited it. It could be a refuge or hide deadly dangers. It could be a meeting place or a throne to sit. It could be impassable or insignificant. But the most important thing is that where it rested, life passed. In this illustrated album reminiscent of authors like Lane Smith or Philip C. Stead, Brendan Wenzel allows nature to flow around a single stone and turns his poem into an exquisite catwalk of animals, plants, seasons, and terrain changes. Thus, the same place allows us to see what it can be, and understand how complex and changing wildlife is. The combination of its verses and the care of the illustration creates a subtle dance that will make the children return again and again to each page to discover all the details of each scene. An album destined to become a classic.
