Winner at the 2015 International Latino Book Awards. Kibo y el dragón morado is an entertaining, fun-loving tale that helps children face up to and overcome their fears.
One morning, a purple dragon flies in through Kibo’s window. Frightened, the little boy runs off to some truly extraordinary places, but when he returns home and looks in the mirror, the dragon is still there—and he’s right behind him! This time, though, he’s a little bigger and a little purpler than the last time Kibo saw him. Maybe if he keeps running away Kibo will be able to escape the dragon! But what if that doesn’t work? How will he finally defeat such a terrible monster?
When you see a dragon,
One thing is quite clear,
If you look them in the eye
They’ll run away in fear.
Ganador en los International Latino Book Awards de 2015. Kibo y el dragón morado es un cuento que, ademas de hacernos pasar un rato muy divertido, nos ayudará a afrontar y superar nuestros miedos.
Una mañana, por la ventana de la casa de Kibo se introduce un dragón de color morado. Asustado, el niño corre hasta los más insospechados lugares para tratar de escapar del monstruo, pero al volver a su casa y mirarse al espejo el dragón sigue ahí, detrás de él, un poco más morado y un poco más grande que la última vez. Cuanto más se aleja de él, el dragón crece y crece. Con tanto ir y venir, ¿conseguirá Kibo esquivarlo? ¿Cómo logrará por fin vencer a tan terrible monstruo?
A un dragón, es cosa clara,
hay que mirarlo a la cara;
que los monstruos, frente a frente,
se espantan rápidamente.
