MY INFINITY

Author: Jesús López Moya From the reader report by: Lynn Eddy-Zambrano
There is nothing in the book’s story, language, or artwork – not even the tattoo on Mamá’s right arm - that will be a challenge for translation into English. Claudia is such a universally relatable kid. Which one of us hasn’t been absolutely positive, at some point in our school career, like Claudia, that we’re the only kid in the entire class who doesn’t understand what the teacher’s talking about?
This very warm and reassuring story exploring a complex, abstract concept should get a spot – in Spanish, English or any other language - in the 4 to 8-year-old bedtime story lineup.
