Editorial review
A solid title in early childhood literature, which stands out for its focus on emotional education from a visual and tactile perspective. The choice of board material makes it especially resistant for small hands, and the use of Galician makes it a valuable option for families who want to preserve the language in the reading environment. Stehr's narrative simplicity, combined with illustrations full of expressiveness, makes it an effective resource for working on affection and early communication.
