The Little Emperor / Pequeño Emperador

What is motherhood like when desire becomes routine? In this powerful picture book, Sara Bertrand explores the contrasts of parenting through the story of a queen who, after asking the fairies for a child, finds herself trapped within the walls of her own castle and overwhelmed by the rhythms of daily life. As the mother retreats into silence and duty, the fairies of the forest accompany the growth of the “little emperor,” endowing him with gifts such as joy and curiosity. With expressive illustrations by Mariana Massarani, the book approaches, with poetry and sensitivity, subjects that invite dialogue between children and adults, including pregnancy, motherhood, and the first months of life.

Under/ En Dessous

You’ve probably wondered what’s under things. Under the bed? Under the rug? Under the cat? There must be something... right? A monster? A troll? A mouse?

What about inside things? Well, that’s another story...
