The journalist, Patricia del Río, ventures into children’s literature with the book ‘From the Moon’whose presentation will be this Saturday at 4:00 pm in the bookstore The Viceroy from Miraflores.
The host of the literary and cultural podcast, Letras en el tiempo, indicated that it is a story where the protagonist is a being from another world, a girl who lives on the Moon and who, despite the darkness of space, has fun. , plays and is happy.
However, as is often the case with little ones, their ability to observe leads them to explore their surroundings and want to know more.
Precisely, that curiosity invades the character of the story who one day decides to change the world and see what is on Earth.
To reach it, he descends from the Moon with the help of a curious rope made of unthinkable and innumerable objects.
“I liked this idea of collecting the traditional games that are still played and are the ones that have the most fun,” said Del Río in Things as they areto which he added: “And of course the girl on the Moon gets bored because she finds comets very easy because of the tail, on the other hand, when she arrives on Earth playing hide and seek is more fun with the boys because she can’t find, but they are easier to catch because the asteroids are faster. It’s like comparing the advantages and disadvantages of playing up or playing down.
Another feature of ‘From the Moon’ It is the interaction that exists between the story and the illustrations.
About, Patricia del Rio He stated that “children’s texts, in the new trends and versions that are being worked on today, which are like illustrated albums, what they seek is that the drawing is not a repetition of the text, but rather that they converse.”
Finally, he maintained that there is no age for stories and that they can dazzle and stimulate us at any time in our lives, but that he would like to hear more children say “that they want to go to the Moon or that night comes to see it, that they discover that there is a space around it.”
“We have to look above, we have a lot of things in the universe that sometimes we don’t pay attention to because we are glued to a screen, let’s discover a universe,” he concluded.
