Bolita de Mónica Brozon es uno de mis libros favoritos porque es una historia conmovedora que aborda temas como la autoestima, la amistad y el bullying de una manera cercana y realista. A través de la historia de Bolita una jirafa regordeta, se reflexiona sobre la importancia de aceptarnos a nosotros mismos y de ser empáticos con los demás. Me encanta cómo la autora usa un lenguaje sencillo pero poderoso para conectar con el lector y hacernos pensar en situaciones que muchos niños y adolescentes enfrentan. Recomiendo este libro porque, además de ser entretenido, deja una gran lección sobre el respeto y la autoconfianza.

This is a book filled with wonderful quotes about life. I always get something new when I read it that is appropriate for me at the time of the reading. It has become a required 9th-grade book in my English class. If you are interested, let me know, and I'm happy to lend you a copy. It's a short, philosophical read.

Uno de mis libros favoritos es Un trabajo muy sucio porque mezcla algunas de mis cosas favoritas: la fantasía y el humor. El autor retoma figuras clásicas como la muerte o los vampiros, pero las pone en situaciones descabelladas. En este libro el protagonista se ve obligado a sustituir a la Muerte mientras cría a su hija y lleva su tienda de antigüedades. Es un libro que recuerdo porque logró sacarme carcajadas como ningún otro

Though I love fiction, I really love the genre of personal essays. This collection by novelist and essayist Ann Patchett, These Precious Days, features essays that distill meaning from life, both small moments and multi-year realizations. Patchett writes about family, friends, and life in the early days of the Pandemic. Some essays are serious, others are funny; all will leave the reader reflecting.

My favorite children's book is The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds.

This book is about a young girl named Vashti who believes she can't draw. With the encouragement of her teacher, she begins by making just one small dot on a piece of paper. This simple act sparks her creativity and confidence, leading her on a journey of self-expression and discovery. The Dot beautifully conveys the power of perseverance, creativity, and believing in oneself. It's an inspiring story that encourages children to take that first step, no matter how small, and to embrace their own artistic and intellectual potential.
