El Corazón de Una Jirafa Es Increíblemente Grande / A Giraffe's Heart Is Incredibly Big

Vega is ten years old and lives in Giraff n with Dad. Vega's life is quite unusual: he sees things that no one else sees, including imaginary animals. A grizzly bear with foamy shampoo in his fur lives in the bathroom, and on the school path he meets both the asphalt beaver Atle and the zebra Zacharias. Vega has never met his mother, and when he asks Dad and Grandpa Hektor questions, they answer with riddles. While Dad has a girlfriend, Vega gets an unexpected pen pal and embarks on an adventure to find his mother. This book is a magical realism about the longing for a family and to be seen and loved.
