Childrens
From the time he is a young boy, NeftalΓ hears the call of a mysterious voice. Even when the neighborhood children taunt him, and when his harsh, authoritarian father ridicules him, and when he doubts himself, NeftalΓ knows he cannot ignore the call. Under the canopy of the lush rain forest, into the fearsome sea, and through the persistent Chilean rain, he listens and he follows. . . Combining elements of magical realism with biography, poetry, literary fiction, and sensorial, transporting illustrations, Pam MuΓ±oz Ryan and Peter SΓs take readers on a rare journey of the heart and imagination.
