Description

Following on from the success of Hija and Hijo, from the same creative team comes Hermanos. This lyrical, stunning picture book is a warm-hearted tribute to siblings and their magical bond, with stunning art by award-winning illustrator Sonja Wimmer.

Its true that sometimes we fight when we want to play with the same toys. But when night falls, we snuggle up together and fall asleep while we read fairy tales to each other. Were similar in so many ways! And were different in others. But one thing is for sure, and that is that well always be there to help each other out. It doesnt matter if stormy nights or evening shadows come to visit us. As long as we are together, we will get through them. Weve learned so many things together, and discovered that the day and the night, even though they seem so different, form a part of the same melody.

Hermanos is an inclusive picture book, both for boys and girls, for brothers by blood and for brothers of life. Both sisters and brothers appear in this magic tale that will delight the little ones in the house.

Reviews

Hermanos, published by Cuento de Luz, is a precious picture book that evokes the unconditional love that these great companions of life have for each other. Infantilandia

"Family can be loving, fun, and occasionally difficult. But the strongest families stick together through it all. Brothers and sisters play together, fight over their toys, snuggle up while reading together, and giggle over the same things. They may be as different as day and night or souls that share the same spirit. But no matter what happens, they love each other and try to make each others days just a little brighter. Brothers and Sisters expresses all the feelings kids have about their siblings. Its a warm and caring look at family relationships that kids will really enjoy." Bergers Book Reviews
