If people count sheep to fall asleep, then.what do sheep count? Flowers, says this beautifully fanciful dream of a book. Sunflowers, roses, geraniums, jasmine. And there's lots of OTHER things you probably don't know about sheep.Sheep have neither pajamas nor pillows nor slippers. They tell bedtime stories about rhinoceroses and airplanes. They ONLY fly when they're sleeping, like butterflies circling the sun. In fact, there are sheep that sparkle in the dark like stars and fireflies.Or are there? Look closer at the light-as-a-laugh paintings by Amanda Mijangos, and you just might start wondering if all those adventurers are children in sheep's clothing!

No hay oscuridad que resista la risa, no hay tristeza que resista las cosquillas.Cuando mamá está aquí, las sombras descansan hasta el día siguiente.De una forma poética, este libro álbum da pie para tratar el tema de la ausencia y el abandono que sienten los niños cuando sus padres no están cerca. Vemos a una madre que abraza a su hijo y le dice que siempre está con él, pero el niño lo vive de manera diferente. El lector podrá ver y sentir las emociones que experimenta el niño en su interior. La autora y la ilustradora recordaron sus miedos de infancia, pero para este libro, abandonaron la tristeza y procuraron imágenes cariñosas.
