Del autor bestseller del New York Times Bob McKinnon llega la edici�n en espa�ol de un cuento sobre la b�squeda de inspiraci�n en el pasado para convertirnos en la mejor versi�n de nosotros mismos en el futuro.
Alguna vez te has sentido solo? Alguna vez has estado desesperado por pertenecer? Am�rica entiende esos sentimientos.
Afortunadamente, el nuevo maestro de Am�rica le muestra la carreta de bienvenida, que est� llena de libros sobre figuras hist�ricas que tambi�n tuvieron dificultad para ser aceptadas. Esa noche, mientras Am�rica duerme, Amelia Earhart, Sojourner Truth, Martin Luther King Jr. y Emma Lazarus se escapan de las hojas de los libros para compartir sus historias. De esa manera, inspiran a Am�rica para que regrese a la escuela al d�a siguiente y haga que sus sue�os se vuelvan realidad.
Aunque nunca vemos a Am�rica, el texto l�rico de Bob McKinnon y el arte �nico y extenso de Thai My Phuong ayudan a que los lectores vean el mundo a trav�s de los ojos de Am�rica, y nos invitan a que seamos tanto bondadosos como valientes, ya que todos siempre merecen sentirse acogidos.
From
New York Times bestselling author Bob McKinnon comes a story about seeking inspiration from our past to become our best selves in the future.
Have you ever felt alone? Have you ever desperately wanted to fit in? America understands how you feel.
America dreams of adventures, making new friends, and being strong. But America's first day at a new school turns out to be a nightmare.
Fortunately, America's new teacher introduces the Welcome Wagon--a cart filled with books about real-life historical figures who also had trouble feeling accepted. When America falls asleep that night, Amelia Earhart, Sojourner Truth, Martin Luther King Jr., and Emma Lazarus jump off the pages to share their stories--inspiring America to return to school the next day and make their dreams come true.
While we never see America, Bob McKinnon's lyrical writing and Thai My Phuong's unique, sweeping art helps readers see the world through America's eyes and encourages us all to be as kind as we are brave, because everyone always deserves to feel welcome.
