Balam, lluvia y la casa

Regular price $20.99
Sale price $20.99

Balam and Lluvia are two brothers who jump and jump around the house, chasing words, recovering stories, facing their everyday adventures.

The childhood of these two little ones is the result of having asked many adults "tell me something about your childhood that you have never told anyone" and voila, poetry became the most generous way to talk about what it is difficult for us to say, about the tricky moments and the wild antics. Poetry is the best accomplice of Lluvia and Balam, these two little ones who, like you and me, know where the secrets of the house are, our favorite places.

Spanish Description: Balam y Lluvia son dos hermanos que se la pasan brinco y brinco en la casa, persiguiendo palabras, recuperando historias, enfrentándose a sus aventuras de todos los días. La infancia de estos dos pequeños es resultado de haberle preguntado a muchos adultos "cuéntame algo de tu infancia que nunca le has contado a nadie" y voilá, la poesía se convirtió en el camino más generoso para hablar de aquello que nos cuesta decir, de los peliagudos momentos y de las travesuras silvestres. La poesía es la mejor cómplice de Lluvia y de Balam, estos dos pequeñitos que como tú y como yo saben dónde están los secretos de la casa, nuestros lugares favoritos.
