Awarded at the 2023 Cuatro Gatos Foundation Awards - Winner of the 2023 Independent Publisher Book Awards

. A silent journey through nature and different landscapes where anything is possible. Open this book to find endless narratives and joyful adventures.

Silence visits me at the riverside. Then he hides. What if I can spot him between the waves of cool water Or does he rest in the high mountains Maybe inside the trees What if I could go find him

A quiet river, a special girls gaze and the wise natural world invite us to listen soundlessly to what cannot be heard. The illustrations with paper cutouts and candy lighting create a symbolic adventure between dream and reality.

An evocative wordless picture book, where playing is guaranteed and endless narrations are possible.

Premiado por los premios Fundacin Cuatro Gatos 2023. Un viaje en silencio por diferentes paisajes del mundo natural donde todo es posible. Abre este libro y djate inspirar por narraciones interminables y aventuras inspiradoras.

El silencio me visita a la orilla del ro. Luego se esconde. Y si estuviera en las ondas del agua fresca O en las altas montaas O en el interior de los rboles Y si pudiera ir a buscarlo

Un ro, la mirada de una nia y el mundo natural sabio en silencios nos invitan a escuchar lo que no se oye. Las ilustraciones con recortes de papel y luz de caramelo, crean una sugerente aventura entre el sueo y la realidad.

Un evocador lbum sin palabras, donde el juego y un sinfn de narraciones son posibles.
