Juego de niños (Child's Play) Summary

Juego de niños (Child's Play) by R.J. Peralta

A poignant story about how children’s play and creativity help children overcome the hardship of moving and changing country and heal one's soul.

Danny, Molly and Marcus are three sparkling creative siblings, although each one expresses himself differently. Danny likes music and by singing and playing the guitar he can give voice to his feelings. Mercedes would always be found with a brush in hand, drawing out her emotions. What about Marcus? You see, Marcus is a great writer—he writes down all his thoughts and he can explore his deepest sorrows.

One thing that the three very special siblings love is playing together and inventing a thousand different games, but there is something that worries them —soon they will move to a new, safer house in another country. Seeing their parents so sad and watching their house being reduced to boxes breaks their soul. However, they will discover that if they stick together, they will always have a loving home.

Una historia conmovedora sobre cómo jugar y ser creativos ayuda a los niños a superar las dificultades de emigrar y a sanar el alma.

Damián, Mercedes y Marcos son tres hermanos con una creatividad desbordante, aunque cada uno la expresa de una manera diferente. A Damián le gusta la música, y es que cantar y tocar la guitarra le permite contar lo que siente. A Mercedes siempre la veremos con un pincel en mano, sacando sus emociones pintando. ¿Y Marcos? Veréis, Marcos es un gran escritor y a través de las palabras escribe todos sus pensamientos y así puede conocerse a sí mismo mucho más.

Estos tres hermanos tan especiales les encanta jugar juntos e inventarse mil juegos diferentes, pero hay algo que les preocupa… pronto se irán a una nueva casa. Ver a sus padres tan tristes y cómo su casa va quedando vacía les parte el alma, pero descubrirán que si están juntos, siempre van a tener un hogar.
