From the Publisher

Gold Medal at the 2016 International Latino Book Awards. William was split in two the day his parents separated. That day he became two different children, he became Will and Liam.

Jose Luis was a happy little boy who lived with his parents in a green house with a lovely little garden, decorated with paper flowers. But one day everything changed. It was as if he'd been torn in two and turned into two different kids: one who went with his dad, and another who stayed with his mom. That was when Jose Luis became two different persons: Jose and Luis. Each of them lived their lives separated one from the other, but they weren't as happy as when they'd been just one little boy.

Con ojos de nino reminds us of the importance of communicating, and that after a change in a family's structure, a child can feel "whole" again and grow up happily... even though his parents have separated.

Medalla de Oro en los International Latino Book Awards en 2016. Jose Luis se partio en dos el dia en que sus padres se separaron. Aquel dia se convirtio en dos ninos diferentes: Jose y Luis.

Jose Luis era un nino alegre que vivia con sus padres en una casa de color verde, con un jardin pequeno pero entranable y decorado con flores de papel. Pero un dia todo cambio. Fue como si se hubiese partido y convertido en dos ninos diferentes: el que se iba con su papa y el que se quedaba con su mama. Fue asi como Jose Luis paso a ser dos personas diferentes: Jose y Luis. Los dos vivian vidas separadas, pero no estaban muy contentos, no tanto como cuando eran un unico nino.

Con ojos de nino explora la importancia de la comunicacion y nos recuerda que, tras experimentar la perdida de la union familiar, un nino puede sentirse "un todo" otra vez y crecer feliz... aunque sus papas se hayan separado.
