Una abuela y su nieta ayudan a un pájaro herido en esta conmovedora historia en español sobre el amor, la fascinación por la naturaleza, y sobre cómo dejar marchar.

Un día de invierno, una abuela y su nieta encuentran un pájaro herido. Lo recogen y lo llevan a casa para curarlo, hasta que es capaz de volar por el salón. Es maravilloso... ¡Todo es maravilloso en casa de la abuela!

Pero un momento maravilloso también puede ser agridulce: el pájaro se ha recuperado y es hora de dejarlo volar libre.

Inspirada en una experiencia de su infancia, la historia que crea Blanca Gómez es aparentemente simple, pero intensa moral y emocionalmente. Una historia llena de amor y fascinación, y de un profundo respeto por la naturaleza.

About the Author

Blanca Gómez nació en Madrid. De pequeña pasaba bastante tiempo en casa de su abuela, donde desayunaba pan con aceite, corría delante del gato por el pasillo, y muy a menudo se daba en la cabeza con el pico de la mesa. Es bastante lógico que su primer libro trate sobre ella.
