Overview

Esta historia escrita en rima es perfecta para ser leída en voz alta a los pequeños. Las impresionantes ilustraciones y la cadencia del texto hacen de esta obra un deleite para los ojos y los oídos. Una tarde unos niños visitan una casa abandonada. Aún se pueden ver fotografías en marcos que cuelgan en los muros. Imágenes de un pasado remoto, imágenes de los antiguos moradores de ese lugar. A medida que recorren las estancias, los niños se hacen preguntas: ¿quiénes eran las personas que vivían en esa casa?, ¿cuáles serían sus profesiones?, ¿por qué abandonaron su hogar?, ¿sería por un trabajo fuera de su ciudad? ¿o por perseguir un sueño? Esta casa que alguna vez fue un hogar ahora está abandonada, pero cada espacio deja adivinar la presencia de alguien que fue feliz entre sus paredes. This rhyming story is perfect for reading aloud to young children. The impressive illustrations and the cadence of the text make it a delight for eyes and ears. One afternoon, a group of children visit an abandoned house. There are still photos in the frames on the walls--images of a remote past, of the old inhabitants. As they wander the grounds, the children wonder: who lived in the house? What jobs did they do? Why did they abandon their home? Did they go somewhere else to work? Or to follow a dream? This house that was once a home is now abandoned, but each room lets you imagine the presence of a happy person.
