El Rojo No Está Enojado, El Azul No Está Triste

A estos amigos les gustan todos los colores. Es el rojo el color del enojo? Es el azul el color de la tristeza? El divertido grupo descubrirá que no es así.

Zorro llega al parque y sus amigos le preguntan muy preocupados si se encuentra bien. Él está feliz y no entiende qué pasa. Todos están confundidos porque Zorro lleva una camiseta azul, y piensan que el azul es el color de la tristeza. Su amiga Osa le pone inmediatamente un jersey amarillo. Y cuando dice que necesita calma le pondrán algo verde, hasta que Zorro se desespera. Pero, no pueden los colores ser libres? Podemos disfrutar de ellos sin vincularlos a una emoción concreta?

Luis Amavisca y Alicia Acosta, juntos de nuevo tras ’ Vivan las uñas de colores!’ y ’La muñeca de Lucas’, en un libro que habla de la libertad de los colores. Un color no tiene por qué simbolizar una emoción. Eso nos reduce y nos quita libertad.

A light-hearted picture book which takes a different look at colors and emotions!

Three friends, Bear, Deer and Squirrel are having a picnic. They are waiting for their friend Fox to join them. When he turns up wearing his blue t-shirt, everyone assumes he’s sad. Fox is confused - why do they think he is sad? He feels happy. Why does blue have to be associated with sadness? And why is red linked to anger? Fox wants to be free to like and wear all different colors!
