Un balde de bendiciones (A Bucket of Blessings)

Ahora disponible en español, un hermoso mito de la India cobra vida en este encantador libro ilustrado, un best seller de New York Times.

Cerca de una majestuosa montaña, en una amplia jungla con muchos árboles de mango no ha llovido desde hace semanas. El pozo y la laguna de la villa están secos. Mono y sus amigos buscan agua por todas partes, pero sin suerte. De pronto, Mono recuerda una historia que su mamá solía contarle, una historia acerca de los pavos reales y cómo atrajeron la lluvia con su baile. Así que Mono se propone descubrir si la historia es cierta...

Esta leyenda poco conocida, narrada con un estilo rítmico e ilustrada con colores y texturas de India, va a encantar e inspirar. Cuenta, además, con un epílogo de Maya Angelou.
