Celebrate the beauty and strength of solitude with this poetic observation of the animal kingdom and those who move through it on their very own, in this special bilingual edition.
Celebra la belleza y la fuerza de la soledad con esta poética observación del reino animal y de aquellos que prefieren su propia compañía.
This lyrical nonfiction text honors animals who live in solitude, in contrast to others who live in groups. Against a backdrop of the specific names of various animal tribes (a parade of elephants, a tower of giraffes, a dazzle of zebras), Stein shines a spotlight on those animals who go through life on their own. With nature at his back, Stein invites readers to draw strength and comfort from the behaviors of fellow animals. This book is perfect for children who are introverted or tend to be alone, and their parents—as well as all children, who will be encouraged to respect the "natural" choices of their peers.
Esta obra de no ficción rinde un lírico homenaje a los animales que viven en soledad, en contraste con otros que viven en grupos.

Con la naturaleza a su lado, Stein invita a los lectores a sacar fuerza y consuelo de las conductas de los animales. Este es un libro ideal para niños introvertidos o que tienden a estar solos y para sus padres, así como para todos los niños, quienes se animarán a respetar las decisiones naturales de sus compañeros.
