Sr. Espinoso, de Betina Birkjaer, es un libro ilustrado visualmente rico e introspectivo que sigue la historia de un erizo meticuloso que se prepara para el invierno. Mientras se apresura a completar una interminable lista de tareas pendientes —rastrillar hojas, arreglar muebles, pulir plata—, su mundo se vuelve cada vez más caótico, reflejando el agobio de la vida moderna. La historia invita suavemente al lector a hacer una pausa, respirar y escuchar la verdadera melodía de la vida, incluso cuando todo parece estar fuera de control. Con un poético texto en español y evocadoras ilustraciones de Anna Margrethe Kjaergaard, es un recurso reflexivo para aulas bilingües que explora la atención plena, el cambio de estación y la regulación emocional.

English Description:

Sr. Espinoso by Betina Birkjaer is a visually rich and introspective picture book that follows a meticulous hedgehog preparing for winter. As he races through an endless to-do list—raking leaves, fixing furniture, polishing silver—his world becomes increasingly chaotic, reflecting the overwhelm of modern life. The story gently nudges readers to pause, breathe, and listen to the true melody of life, even when everything feels out of control. With poetic Spanish text and evocative illustrations by Anna Margrethe Kjaergaard, it’s a thoughtful resource for dual-language classrooms exploring mindfulness, seasonal change, and emotional regulation.
