Editorial review
Neixer is an editorial proposal that stands out for the quality of its production and the balance between educational content and artistic sensitivity. The work by Paulina Jara, supported by the translation of Pep Molist, a reference in Catalan children's and youth literature, offers an accessible and well-documented text. However, the true added value lies in the illustrations by Mercè Galí, which elevate the book to a remarkable aesthetic experience. It is a title aimed at a children's audience, but one that can also be appreciated by adults interested in quality illustration and children's literature that addresses fundamental themes with respect and beauty.
