Nina Bonita
Product Description
"This enchanting story of diversity, in which a very white rabbit falls in love with a very dark girl and longs to discover the secret for being so dark and pretty, juxtaposes soft illustrations with simple text. It is perfect for reading alone or for group sharing." - Publishers Weekly
"Soft, colored-pencil illustrations depict Nina Bonita and the rabbit in the larger context of a diverse village where people live comfortably despite superficial differences. This translation has retained the rhythmic cadences of the Spanish language, making it suitable for reading aloud." - School Library Journal
"The softly-colored illustrations of Nina’s seaside life give subtle nuance to a story that explains color most imaginatively and with great wisdom, a simple lesson easily learned about differences and acceptance." - Curled Up Kids
Written by Ana Maria Machado of Brazil and illustrated by Rosana Faria.
Paperback. Recommended for ages 5 to 9.
