Book Summary
This exclusive suitcase is the ideal gateway to the poetic universe of the "From Cradle to Moon" ("De la cuna a la luna") collection, which celebrates its 20th anniversary. Designed for carrying and sharing, it includes five essential titles: "Moon," "Crocodile," "Baby," "Face," and "Flowers."

What is it about?
The "From Cradle to Moon" suitcase is a special edition that brings together five books from the iconic collection of the same name, a benchmark in children's literature for early ages. Each copy is a poetic exercise that, drawing on the resources of the traditional songbook (rhyme, repetition, verse, refrain, and accumulation), presents themes close to the interests of babies and toddlers. Óscar Villán's illustrations, set against clear backgrounds with easily recognizable images, complement the text to train the eye and stimulate the ear. This suitcase not only contains the books, but also offers a practical and attractive format to store and carry them anywhere, fostering a reading habit from the cradle.
