Publisher's Synopsis
Realizado a base de fotografìas, ilustraciones y collages, el autor de Un hogar para pájaro, Oso quiere contar una historia y Un dìa perfecto para el señor Amos (publicados por Océano Travesìa), nos ofrece ahora un cuento lleno de poesìa y sensibilidad. El protagonista es un escritor que debe redactar una historia nueva; sin embargo, no se le ocurre ninguna. Las ideas parecen haberse esfumado y su máquina de escribir permanece silenciosa. En lugar de obligarse a escribir, decide salir a pasear con su perro. Juntos recorren el barrio, se encuentran con otro perro, con una amable vecina, con una ardilla, con una fila de personas que esperan a que les sirvan un poco de sopa... El dìa es espléndido. Entonces el narrador se pregunta si todas aquellas cosas sencillas y cotidianas que lo rodean no podrìan convertirse en el tema de la historia que está buscando.
This story, based on photographs, illustrations, and collages, is full of poetry and sensitivity. The main character is a writer who needs to write a new story, but he can't think of one. He seems to have run out of ideas, and his typewriter is staying quiet. Instead of forcing himself to write, he decides to take his dog on a walk. They travel the neighborhood together, meeting another dog, a friendly neighbor, a squirrel, and a line of people waiting for soup. It's a splendid day-and the narrator starts to wonder if all these simple, everyday things couldn't become the story he's looking for.
