English Description:
A veces, yo soy todo lo que necesito by Juliana Perdomo is a warm and poetic picture book that celebrates self-love, mindfulness, and emotional resilience. Through the eyes of a young girl, readers experience cozy moments at home, the challenges of venturing out, and the quiet fears that come with nighttime. Yet, even in uncertainty, she learns to find comfort within herself—imagining sunlight, giving herself hugs, and embracing solitude. With vibrant illustrations and lyrical Spanish text, the book gently reminds children ages 2–5 that courage, peace, and joy often come from within. It’s a tender dual-language resource for nurturing emotional literacy and inner strength.
