De otra manera

Encouraging children to face their fears by looking at them from a different point of view, this distinctive story demonstrates how threatening shadows in the dark become beautiful in the light of day; how a thunderous storm brings the soothing, earthy smell of rain; and how the fear of swinging too high on playground swings pales in comparison to the thrill of the sensation of flying. Charmingly unadorned illustrations add to the simplicity of the message. Animando a los ninos a confrontar sus miedos mirandolos con otra luz, este cuento original demuestra como unas sombras espantosas se convierten en bellas a la luz del dia; como una tormenta tremebunda trae el relajante olor a tierra de la lluvia; y como el miedo de columpiar demasiado alto palidece junto a la emocion de sentir que esta volando. Unas ilustraciones encantadoramente desadornadas reesfuerzan la simplicidad del mensaje.
