Winner at the 2017 Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards and the 2017 International Latino Book Awards. This touching story of friendship and love will delight readers and letter writers of all ages who will find that many times the most wonderful is found where we least imagine.
Every day, an old mailman rides his bicycle through the forest delivering letters to the local animals. These letters seem to have magic in them, as they always help resolve misunderstandings, exchange invitations to dinner or tea, and form friendships. The animals are always eager to find out what message will the mailman be giving them, and everyone is delighted with these letters. In the forest, there are fewer arguments, and harmony reigns. What nobody knows is that every night the dedicated postman writes each letter one by one, thinking carefully about what to write and who it will be addressed to. In fact, he is the only one who has no correspondence. Until one day he receives a very special letter in his mailbox.
Ganador de los Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards y los International Latino Book Awards en 2017. Una entrañable y sorprendente historia que va a emocionar a pequeños y mayores, porque muchas veces lo más maravilloso se encuentra donde menos imaginamos.
Un cartero silencioso y solitario.
Unas cartas.
Un secreto.
Todos los días, un cartero pasea en bicicleta por el bosque entregando cartas a los animales locales. Estas cartas parecen mágicas, ya que siempre ayudan a resolver malentendidos, intercambiar invitaciones a cenar o tomar el té y formar amistades. Los animales siempre están ansiosos por saber qué mensaje les dará el cartero, y todos están encantados con las cartas. En el bosque hay menos discusiones y reina la armonía. Lo que nadie sabe es que todas las noches el dedicado cartero escribe cada carta una a una, pensando detenidamente qué escribir y a quién va dirigida. De hecho, él es el único que no recibe correspondencia. Hasta que un día recibe una carta muy especial en su buzón.

Daniel Montero Galán (Madrid, 1981) was born prematurely, at the early age of zero. His head was always full of birds. As time went by, they reproduced, and along came a lot of different kinds of creatures, making a great noise—squawks, grunts, and screams… so he decided to transfer them into a paper to silence them. He keeps a deal with his drawings: they live thanks to him and he lives from them. Because of this symbiosis, more than thirty illustrated books stand up for him to testify that his thing in life is drawing. Day by day, and every other night, he continues to perfect spiral and rectilinear shapes to keep fit without losing shape. Watercolor fights a great battle with the marker to have a leading role on its cardboard.
