Wonderful story of a little boy who is going to spend his holidays with his grandmother. His grandma lives alone on a little island and always seems busy and does not have time to play with him. The little boy decides to explore the island. He discovers a huge rock with several holes and imagines it is a pirate cave, a sealing boat or a fossilised whale. He plays for a long time and notices the sky is turning dark grey. He decides to wait out the storm when he hears a strange noise in the mist of the storm. It was a little bird. He goes back to the grandma’s house and takes the birds he finds on his way back. Once the storm is over, all the birds resume their journey but one that decides to stay with the little boy.

‘Jugamos?’

jugamos - le toboggan

In Spanish, from 4yo.

This is a story of a little boy who spends most of his time playing on his tablet. So much that he does not hear the invitations to play that he friends and family give him. Rocio Bonilla’s beautiful illustrations show how the little boy when focussing on his game and unaware of what is going on around him is missing out by having him in grey. The world around him is warm and full of colours. His anti-social behaviour is turning him sad and colourless.

It is a great book to show young children how the can be affected by spending too much time on an electronic device.
