Un hermoso album ilustrado, ganador de la Medalla Caldecott 1988
Una noche de invierno, una nina y su padre van en busca de un buho. Los arboles se quedan quietos como estatuas y el mundo esta en silencio como un sueno. Whoo-whoo-whoo, llama el padre al misterioso pajaro nocturno.
Pero no hay respuesta.
Padre e hija caminan sin palabras, porque cuando buscas buhos, no necesitas palabras. No necesitas nada mas que esperanza. A veces no hay un buho, pero a veces si.
La reconocida autora Jane Yolen recrea en Luna de buho una historia suave y poetica, que describe con carino el vinculo especial de una nina pequena y su padre, asi como la estrecha relacion de la humanidad con la naturaleza. Maravillosamente ilustrado con las suaves y exquisitas acuarelas de John Schoenherr, este libro es un tesoro verbal y visual, perfecto para leer y compartir en familia antes de dormir.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A beloved picture book, winner of the 1988 Caldecott Medal
Late one winter night a little girl and her father go owling. The trees stand still as statues and the world is silent as a dream. Whoo-whoo-whoo, the father calls to the mysterious nighttime bird.
But there is no answer.
Wordlessly the two companions walk along, for when you go owling you don’t need words. You don’t need anything but hope. Sometimes there isn’t an owl, but sometimes there is.
Distinguished author Jane Yolen has created a gentle, poetic story that lovingly depicts the special companionship of a young child and her father as well as humankind’s close relationship to the natural world. Wonderfully complemented by John Schoenherr’s soft, exquisite watercolor illustrations, this is a verbal and visual treasure, perfect for reading around and sharing at bedtime.
