Kíkiri-Kíkiri-kí, Kíkiri-Kíkiri-ká

Este libro es una maravilla, y rápidamente se ha convertido en uno de los favoritos en casa. Gabriela es una niña excepcional, con buenas ideas y una canción contagiosa que mis hijas no dejan de cantar. El libro deja un mensaje para aliviar los temores de los niños que enfrentan la partida de su país natal, o el cambio en general. Pero es también una linda historia para cualquier niño o adulto. Grabriela es una buenísima influencia para los pequeños, es ingeniosa y de un gran corazón. Además del buen mensaje, las ilustraciones son muy atractivas.

La Cancion de Gabriela sings

After a natural disaster forces Gabriela and her family to immigrate to the United States temporarily, the little girl is frightened. She'll have to leave her bestfriend behind, board a plane, learn a new language and adjust to a new life and culture. But Gabriela has a way of coping in her new home: She sings a song that calms her. "Kíkiri-Kíkiri-kí, Kíkiri-Kíkiri-ká. Yo no tengo miedo, porque el miedo no me va" Gabriela sings over and over. And her song may help other kids who don't speak English adapt to their new surroundings. Gabriela is the main character in the new children's book, La Cancion de Gabriela. The lushly illustrated book, which looks almost like a polished cartoon on paper, takes the reader on Gabriela's journey from her home in Latin America where a volcano and strongs winds force her and her family to relocate to an aunt's house in the United States. We see Gabriela nervous on her first day at school where she sees students who look like her and some from different backgrounds and races. She feels at home there. We see her make a new friend who is scared of rain as she was. We follow Gabriela as she learns a song, Gabriela's song, which centers her whenever she's scared. The book has a beautiful message for children learning to adapt to a new environment or for kids who are traumatized by a natural disaster. The message: You are never alone as along as you have family and new friends. For children who are learning Spanish, the book, through its vivid illustrations, would also be a good way to practice the language. La Cancion de Gabriela is a beautiful song to sing and a wonderful book to read!
