Cuando los peces se fueron volando - Head Work
by Sara Bertrand / Francisco Javier Olea
Description
When the fish went off flying is a story that
explores, through a subtle language and
powerful images, the pain of loss. Among
the clouds and the mountains, and their
whiteness, the boy from this tale will first
lose his father, then his dog, and finally his
brother. The images that these departures
leave will conform a story in which nothing
is a surplus; each sentence and each
illustration guide the reader without drama.
This is a precise
and overwhelming work, in which the
literary and graphic quality manifests
from page one.
