Sinfonía de cuna

Reach for this book when your child starts noticing the absurdities of the world or when they are tired of predictable, sugary sweet bedtime stories. Sinfonia de cuna is a delightful subversion of the traditional lullaby, offering a witty and slightly irreverent look at life through the eyes of animal protagonists. It is perfect for children who have developed a sense of irony and enjoy questioning the status quo. Written by the legendary Chilean poet Nicanor Parra, the book introduces young readers to 'antipoetry,' a style that uses everyday language and humor to explore complex themes. While it remains lighthearted, it encourages children to embrace their independence and see the world from a unique, creative perspective. It is an excellent choice for parents looking to build their child's vocabulary and appreciation for Latin American literature in a way that feels playful rather than academic.
