“Existe una cosa que se llama Tristeza. Y tiene un ojo que todo lo ve”, por más que quiera mirar a su alrededor, Tristeza no puede ver algo distinto a lo que siempre ha visto con su único ojo de tristeza.

Teacher Comments: "This is a book that invites you to mediate about a feeling (sadness) and how to cope with this feeling using the imagination. I love the illustrations and colors. The illustrations are so inviting, starting from the cover book, the colors the line that gives some sense of happiness. This book is a great tool to introduce feelings, colors, math and develop vocabulary and language skills. Great story to start a conversation of inclusion and diversity."
