La niña que tejía sonrisas

Arequipa 2024, 

At this dynamic event, we will listen to a storyteller, reflect on new ideas, and send good wishes to the characters in this story. La niña que tejía sonrisas is a book that deals with the lives of migrant families, the reasons they leave their place of origin, and how they integrate into a new culture. With the help of kamishibai –a Japanese storytelling technique that uses paper, pencils, postcards and a lot of creativity to create a play– we will connect with Ema, Nifá and many other new friends.

Ages 4 to 10
