Bravo Bruno!

Text Sandra Cisneros Illustrations Leslie Greene Format 17,5x24 cm Pages 36 Age 4+ ALL RIGHTS AVAILABLE except English language

What does Bruno want? We follow the black poodle dog Bruno in a sunny and windy day in Rome, since he wakes up until he goes to bed. He’s looking for something, but what? He just wants what everybody wants: “a bit of peace, a little kiss, a slice of sky above, and… love”.

Tender and funny at the same time, enriched with eyecatching art work, this picture book is a playful gift from the most important Chicana writer to the youngest readers.
