Yo tengo un moco
by Elena Odriozola
Notice a nasty one in your nostril. Pick at it. Get it out. Shape it. Contemplate the result. Put it in your mouth. You want more. Start from the beginning. And so goes the ritual followed by a boy and a girl, a young man and a young woman, a mother and a father, a grandmother and a grandfather, as they sing along to a well-known Spanish nursery rhyme. You can read the book slowly, stopping at each illustration. Or you can pass the pages quickly and create a brilliant feeling of movement. Either way, this is a book to be savoured intimately or shared repulsively.
