¡Una selección del 2022 Tejas Star Reading List!

La paz es a propósito. La paz es una elección. La paz permite que los más pequeñitos tengamos una voz.

From a hello and pronouncing your friend’s name correctly to giving more than you take and saying I’m sorry, this simple concept book explores definitions of peace and actions small and big that foster it.

Award-winning authors, Baptiste Paul and Miranda Paul, have teamed up with illustrator Estelí Meza—winner of the ‘A la Orilla del Viento’ the premier Picture Book Contest Award in Mexico—to create an inspiring look at things we can all do to bring peace into our lives and world with this Spanish language edition.

"This picture book takes a huge concept like peace and makes it completely approachable for young readers." - Mutually Inclusive Blog

Desde cómo saludar y pronunciar correctamente el nombre de un amigo hasta el dar más de lo que tomamos y decir “lo siento”, este sencillo libro conceptual explora definiciones de paz y acciones pequeñas y grandes que la fomentan.

Los galardonados autores Baptiste Paul y Miranda Paul junto con la ilustradora Estelí Meza, ganadora del premio A la Orilla del Viento, el más destacado para un libro infantil en México, han creado un libro inspirador sobre las cosas que todos podemos hacer para traer la paz a nuestras vidas y al mundo.
