Sale price $18.99

Laina knows that she is eleven years old; that his best friends are Maki and Felu; that we must beware of the sun, the wind and the black holes of smallpox; that sometimes he gets hungry, very hungry, until he thinks about heaven, and that his father went far away. But she also knows that every time she blows one of the flowers called dandelion, her dreams go where she wants them to go. And then all the desires that you keep inside, deep inside, happen.

Spanish Description: Laina sabe que tiene once años; que sus mejores amigos son Maki y Felu; que hay que cuidarse del sol, del viento y de los hoyos negros de la viruela; que a veces le da hambre, mucha hambre, hasta que piensa en el cielo, y que su papá se fue lejos. Pero también sabe que cada vez que sopla una de las flores llamadas diente de león, sus sueños llegan a donde ella desea. Y entonces todos los deseos que guarda adentro, muy adentro, suceden.
