Avocado seeds and slow growing! A young girl's impatience turns to wonder as she and her avocado tree gradually change and grow in this story inspired by Israeli artist Taltal Levi's childhood.
Semillas de aguacate y el crecimiento lento! La impaciencia de una niña se convierte en asombro mientras su árbol de aguacate y ella misma cambian y crecen paulatinamente en esta historia inspirado en la infancia propia de la artista israelí Taltal Levi.
Muriel está de mal humor: ayer celebró su cumpleaños bajo el viejo árbol de aguacate, pero hoy está más alta-¡ni un poquito! Papá le cuenta a Muriel un secreto: Ella es como una semilla de aguacate, chiquita pero llena de magia. Juntos, colocan en la ventana una semilla de aguacate en un vaso de agua y observan cómo tanto Muriel como su planta de aguacate crecen, echan raíces y finalmente engendran nueva vida.
Los aguacates están en todos partes y se recogen directamente del árbol en el país natal de Taltal Levi, Israel, así como por toda América Latina. En su tercer libro, Taltal Levi utiliza colores cálidos para contar una historia personal pero universal sobre la magia del crecimiento.
¡Incluye instrucciones para cultivar tu propio árbol de aguacate!

PreS-Gr 3--Every year, Muriel and her family celebrate her birthday underneath their avocado tree at the end of the summer. And every year Muriel feels disappointed that, although another year has passed, she is still small, her feet not yet able to touch the floor when sitting on the chair. Her father tells her a great secret: Muriel is special, full of magic, like an aguacate. Muriel and her father place an avocado seed in water close to sunlight, and Muriel can't wait for the magic of the aguacate to flow out. She is disappointed at how slow the process is, but her father reminds her that magic is beautiful but slow, and being patient is important. As time passes, the aguacate is transferred to a bigger pot, and Muriel, too, begins to grow. This touching story weaves in many special themes, including the growth of a child, the importance and magic of nature, love of a parent for their child, and the way in which time passes quickly even though it may not seem like it. The Spanish text is like a beautiful poem, with the father's words bringing calm and patience to Muriel when she needs them most. The illuminating illustrations show Muriel's loving and warm home and family. VERDICT A magical Spanish picture book that is a must have for school and public library collections.--Selenia Paz
