Age: Kindergarten-2nd grade
Emotions: Loneliness

Serves a very specific bibliotherapeutic purpose that dissects the meaning of uniqueness and the potential for loneliness because no one is exactly like you.

Stond niet bij de kinderboeken, I promise
Het is mss ook geen kinderboek

Aquello que nos hace únicos nos hace también solitarios. Y lo que nos cura la soledad, es un abrazo.

Bello libro :)

I found this book while wandering through the children' section of the library. I picked it up because I love David Grossman and the cover is pure beauty.
I read it in only 10 minutes and it probably wasn't the right duration to fully appreciate the book.

The story is simple and overflowing with meaning. Who we are and why we are who we are? Are we alone? The answer to all of this is a hug.

I really like how direct and simple the plot is, but I would have loved a deeper investigation on the answers asked by the child.

The illustrations are beautiful and a pleasure to look at.

In the end, I would recommend this book because it is a quick read and a beauty to leaf through. I would also gift it to children age 4-15 as it is simple enough to be read and understood, but also it has a powerful meaning.

Es un libro hermoso sobre como estamos solos en el mundo por ser únicos, pero que al estar todos solos estamos acompañados. Como es esa soledad la que nos une.
Un bello discurso sobre las reflexiones de un niño de la existencia y que el abrazo surge como este medio para acompañarnos.

Such a gentle, quiet book, with an important and beautiful message. *Hug*
