Laurie, manteniendo la serenidad, se tumbó boca abajo sobre el hielo, agarrando a Amy hasta que Jo proporcionó un tablón de la empalizada y entre los dos sacaron del agua a la chiquilla, que se sentía más espantada que lastimada.

My name is Violet, I always liked that name. When I'm in the studio, my mind is usually somewhere else, at an autumn forest, in a golden desert or a mysterious castle... People say I am "in the clouds" although, I'm really working a lot. To put myself in what it wants to work and create a story requires a great effort, but thanks to this effort, when I have to go through a forest, cross a desert or open a mysterious castle, I know what I'm going to find because I have seen them in my head, and I feel like drawing it.

Sweet book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mujercitas para niƱos (Clasicos Para Ninos / Classics for Children) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
I must admit, English is my first language and I was purchasing for a teenager in Guatemala. I don't think I quite understood that it was a book for a younger age group, probably 7-9. That being said, the book is delightful and has illustrations on every other page. I am now looking for a Spanish speaking child to enjoy this sweet book.

Mujercitas is a good book for family and friends to enjoy!,
By Laurelina Gomez "Nathalie" (Bronx, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mujercitas (Hardcover)
Mujercitas really made me wonder about the opportunity we all have to live a life full of joy. Made me also wonder how come most of us do not apprecite and value this opportunity given. With this book I have decided that I will, even if others don't, that's up to them. In addition, made me think about the family I once had and with a little more forgiveness, It could return to me. Read the book, if you are into the sentimental type, but if you are Stone-Cold don't waste your time!!!.
