Una adolescente muy particular vive su primer amor y descubre, tras la agitación del corazón, las dificultades de convertirse en adulta.


«Los personajes de Yoshimoto ejercen una absoluta fascinación sobre mí ... A pesar de sus desgracias, tienen una capacidad infinita para degustar las cosas de la vida que hacen la vida vivible, y una extraña dignidad, imposible de doblegar.» Isabel Coixet, El Dominical


«La prosa de Yoshimoto se apoya en la calidad de su transparencia... Un retrato esencial de la soledad.» Robert Saladrigas, Cultura/S (La Vanguardia)


«Yoshimoto describe como nadie esos estados físicos y emocionales que tanto tienen que ver con el silencio.» The New York Times Book Review


«Sus logros literarios ya son legendarios.» The Boston Globe


«Una narradora magistral.» Chicago Tribune


Yuko tiene una sensibilidad poco común: es capaz de ver cosas que otros no pueden ver, y también de adivinar los deseos y pensamientos de quienes la rodean. Cuando cumple catorce años, esa sensibilidad se agudiza y todo parece adquirir matices misteriosos. En una academia de pintura, Yuko está aprendiendo a asignar un color a cada estado de ánimo y emoción; Kyu, su profesor, mayor que ella, le enseña. Y, cierto día, sólo él verá, al igual que ella, cómo un extraño hombrecito verde emerge del tallo de una planta que hay en el aula. Así comienzan lo que serán unos meses cruciales para la joven adolescente, quien, suspendida entre lo real y lo imaginario, afronta el día a día y descubre poco a poco la agitación del corazón, la ternura de los sentimientos y las dificultades de convertirse en adulta.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A very unique teenager experiences her first love and discovers, through the turmoil of the heart, the challenges of becoming an adult.


"Yoshimoto's characters exert an absolute fascination over me ... Despite their misfortunes, they have an infinite capacity to savor the things in life that make it livable, and a strange dignity, impossible to break." Isabel Coixet, El Dominical


"Yoshimoto's prose relies on the quality of its transparency... An essential portrait of loneliness." Robert Saladrigas, Cultura/S (La Vanguardia)


"Yoshimoto describes like no one else those physical and emotional states so closely tied to silence." The New York Times Book Review


"Her literary achievements are already legendary." The Boston Globe


"A masterful storyteller." Chicago Tribune


Yuko has an uncommon sensitivity: she can see things others cannot, and even sense the desires and thoughts of those around her. When she turns fourteen, that sensitivity intensifies and everything seems to take on mysterious shades. At a painting academy, Yuko is learning to assign a color to each mood and emotion; Kyu, her teacher, older than her, guides her. And one day, only he will see, just as she does, how a strange little green man emerges from the stem of a plant in the classroom. Thus begin what will be crucial months for the young teenager, who, suspended between the real and the imaginary, faces daily life and gradually discovers the turmoil of the heart, the tenderness of feelings, and the challenges of becoming an adult.

Small but mighty
Color: Chew Pair, Size: Mini (Pack of 2)
Dusty (chihuahua) loves the blue bone! It is the perfect size for his little mouth and he loves that he can put it to the back of his mouth and just chew on it. The rope one is his least favorite as it appears to be too big for his mouth. They’re great quality and while they are not stretchy they do bounce!

The only toys my older Chihuahua likes
Color: Chew Pair, Size: Mini (Pack of 2)
These are the only toys my older Chihuahua likes. They can't be found locally, Thank goodness I can order them and get them here fast. My younger Chihuahua grabs them sometimes and chews big chunks off. Swallowing the chunks would be a concern

Good but watch for the strings coming undone.
Color: Chew Pair, Size: Mini (Pack of 2)
Our 12 week old puppy has loved chewing on these bones. The only issue you'll need to look out for is the knots in the strings come undone very easily. I've had to retire them multiple times. This could be dangerous for dogs that like to eat strings!!
