Lucas asiste a la escuela perfecta en el vecindario perfecto. Y cuando obtiene calificaciones perfectas, siente que encaja perfectamente. Edición en español.
Pero la vida en casa no es tan perfecta. La vieja camioneta de su papá se sigue descomponiendo. Su mamá trabaja muchas horas como empleada en la cafetería. Y Lucas debe compartir su pequeña habitación con su hermanita.
Una noche, a Lucas lo despierta una extraña luz, la cual sigue hasta el lugar en donde viven las personas perfectas. Ahí todo es más bello de lo que se podría imaginar. Pero mientras más tiempo está ahí, más se pregunta lo que significa ser perfecto. ¿Significa nunca cometer errores? ¿Significa rechazar a su bullicioso vecindario y a su amorosa familia? ¿Y qué tiene de genial ser perfecto, de cualquier manera?
De los talentos galardonados de Matt de la Peña y Paola Escobar llega este conmovedor e inspirador libro ilustrado acerca de un niño, en casa en dos mundos, que descubre lo que es sentirse bien consigo mismo.
From the Newbery Medal-winning author of Last Stop on Market Street comes this moving picture book about the perils of perfectionism. Now in a Spanish-language edition.
Lucas goes to the perfect school in the perfect neighborhood. And when he gets perfect grades, he feels like he fits right in.
But life at home is not so perfect. His dad’s old work truck keeps breaking down. His mom works long hours at her job at the diner. And Lucas has to share his small room with his baby sister.
One night, Lucas is awakened by a strange light, which he follows all the way to the place where the perfect people live. Everything there is more beautiful than he could have imagined. But the longer Lucas stays, the more he wonders what it really means to be perfect. Does it mean never making mistakes? Does it mean rejecting his bustling neighborhood and his loving family? And what’s so great about being perfect, anyway?
From award-winning talents Matt de la Peña and Paola Escobar comes this heartwarming, uplifting picture book about a boy, at home in two worlds, discovering what it means to be at home with himself.
