Antonia va al río
by Diego Sanchez
The girl and Antonia have to go, and so does their family. But not just theirs, others’ families have to part. ¿Why? Something has happened, is not explicit in the book, but is clear they all have to leave. The kids have their pets and the adults all what they need to navigate, get across the jungle and find a new home. But as it’s usual in such contexts, when one has to migrate, one loses and one gain; and this is what this book is about. Dipacho uses his brush, his colors, and his narrative to offer a story lived by many but very little known in the flesh.
