No Me Importa / I Don't Care

Una autora bestseller de The New York Times y dos ilustradoras galardonadas con el premio Caldecott se unen para crear un lbum sobre la amistad. Al abrir el libro vemos a dos ni as, aparentemente enojadas, una de un lado de la p gina, la otra al otro extremo, el lomo simboliza una barrera emocional.

Y el texto inicia as
No me importa lo que pienses de mi pelo
O de mis ojos o de mis dedos o de mi nariz
No me importa lo que pienses de mis botas
O si no te gusta mi ropa...

Poco a poco esa lista de cosas superficiales de las que no se preocupan los verdaderos amigos, como: la apariencia, el atuendo o las posesiones, se transforma en lo que s podr a poner en juego su amistad: Realmente me importa que siempre juegues limpio y que no cambies las reglas cuando estoy ganando...

Las ilustraciones de grafito y lin leo, en escala de grises con destellos azules y amarillos, nos muestran las peque as cosas que separan a dos amigas y las grandes cosas que las unen.

A New York Times bestselling author and two Caldecott Award-winning illustrators team up to create a book about friendship. Upon opening the book, we see two girls, seemingly angry, one on one side of the page, the other on the other, the spine symbolizing an emotional barrier.

And the text begins like this:
I don't care what you think of my hair
Or my eyes or my fingers or my nose
I don't care what you think of my boots
Or if you don't like my clothes...

Little by little, that list of superficial things that true friends don't care about, like appearance, attire, or possessions, transforms into things that could put their friendship at stake: I really care that you always play fair and that you don't bend the rules when I'm winning...

The graphite and linocut illustrations, in grayscale with flashes of blue and yellow, show us the small things that separate two friends and the big things that unite them.
