Dancing in the clouds

Through the dream of a girl who wishes to dance with the clouds, this book reflects on the importance of cultural exchange and respect between people of different origins. Its pages, with a constant presence of Latin American folklore, tell the story of a village that grows over time, with new inhabitants building their homes and sharing experiences collectively. From an artistic point of view, ‘Dancing in the clouds’ is a naïf and ethnic style album, with bright, exotic and colourful illustrations. The text, in short, descriptive sentences, has a cumulative approach: with each new neighbour, the community is enriched in customs, music and aromas. Mestizaje, multiculturalism, coexistence and tolerance are the concepts that surround this work, finalist of the 3rd Compostela International Prize for Illustrated Albums. And like the girl protagonist, it also gives readers wings so that they do not stop pursuing their own dreams.
