Del autor bestseller del New York Times Bob McKinnon llega la edici n en espanol de un cuento sobre la bosqueda de inspiraci n en el pasado para convertirnos en la mejor versi n de nosotros mismos en el futuro.

Alguna vez te has sentido solo?

Alguna vez has estado desesperado por pertenecer? America entiende esos sentimientos.

Afortunadamente, el nuevo maestro de America le muestra la carreta de bienvenida, que esta llena de libros sobre figuras hist ricas que tambien tuvieron dificultad para ser aceptadas. Esa noche, mientras America duerme, Amelia Earhart, Sojourner Truth, Martin Luther King Jr. y Emma Lazarus se escapan de las hojas de los libros para compartir sus historias. De esa manera, inspiran a America para que regrese a la escuela al dia siguiente y haga que sus suenos se vuelvan realidad.

Aunque nunca vemos a America, el texto lirico de Bob McKinnon y el arte onico y extenso de Thai My Phuong ayudan a que los lectores vean el mundo a traves de los ojos de America, y nos invitan a que seamos tanto bondadosos como valientes, ya que todos siempre merecen sentirse acogidos.

From New York Times bestselling author Bob McKinnon comes a story about seeking inspiration from our past to become our best selves in the future.

Have you ever felt alone? Have you ever desperately wanted to fit in? America understands how you feel.

America dreams of adventures, making new friends, and being strong. But America's first day at a new school turns out to be a nightmare.

Fortunately, America's new teacher introduces the Welcome Wagon-a cart filled with books about real-life historical figures who also had trouble feeling accepted. When America falls asleep that night, Amelia Earhart, Sojourner Truth, Martin Luther King Jr., and Emma Lazarus jump off the pages to share their stories-inspiring America to return to school the next day and make their dreams come true.

While we never see America, Bob McKinnon's lyrical writing and Thai My Phuong's unique, sweeping art helps readers see the world through America's eyes and encourages us all to be as kind as we are brave, because everyone always deserves to feel welcome.

Reviews for América sueña (America's Dreaming Spanish Edition)

A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection ""This faithful translation of America's Dreaming brings this story about an immigrant girl’s first days at a U.S. school to life. This touching example about what different communities have in common succeeds by weaving parts of the U.S. immigrant past into América’s present as the girl navigates the halls of her elementary school and learns that her classmates also seek a place to belong. VERDICT An ideal book that can generate powerful conversations about what it takes to build a safe, strong, and inclusive community."" —Booklist
