ZETA
Book summary
Zeta is the first title in the Libros Que Ni Pintados collection, a series of graphic albums designed for both children and adults. This work tells a delicate story about friendship during adolescence through images and text. The reader will accompany Zeta on her journey of self-discovery, from the refuge of her own world to meeting a stranger who will invite her to step outside of herself. A book that invites reflection on identity and connection with others.
What is it about?
Zeta has built her own world in the hollow where she lives, a safe space where she runs free and looks at her reflection in the pond, searching for herself. Meanwhile, other animals observe her and whisper around her. The tranquility of her existence is disrupted when an unknown scent reaches her: a stranger is approaching. To discover who this being is, Zeta must face her greatest challenge: stepping out of her own reflection, out of her mirror, and venturing beyond the limits she has imposed upon herself. It is a beautiful story about friendship, curiosity, and the transition from childhood to adolescence.
