En la selva del Amazonas, viven dos monos sin cola, el mono se llama José y la mona Amapola”. En la selva saben muy bien que una cola es un tesoro, y por tanto el resto de los animales se burla de ellos, sin aceptar que las diferencias nos vuelven únicos. Un cuento que habla sobre la tolerancia, el respeto para vivir en armonía y comunidad.

 

English Description:

Juan José y Amapola by Trinidad Castro, illustrated by Marianela Frank, is a heartwarming picture book set in the Amazon jungle, where two tailless monkeys—Juan José and Amapola—stand out from the rest. While other animals mock them for being different, the story gently reveals that what makes them unique is also what makes them special. With lyrical Spanish and vibrant illustrations, this tale offers dual-language educators a beautiful way to explore themes of diversity, self-acceptance, and community harmony with young learners
