El miedo de Iván (Ivan's Fear)

Por Ariel Andrés Almada y Cha Coco

Winner at the 2014 International Latino Book Awards. Little Iván has so many fears that he has forgotten to dream. An encouraging story that will kindle the strength to overcome our fears.

The sea, mist, loud noises… Iván’s afraid of everything! There are times when he dreams about having great adventures and visiting far-away lands, Iván knew that it would be impossible for him. You see, Iván’s secret is that, ever since he was little, he had always been frightened of things. And with all those frights and shivers, his dreams of having great adventures and visiting faraway places seem more and more unlikely.

One afternoon in August, on Iván’s seventh birthday, an unexpected visitor arrived at his house. It was his Uncle Harry, who had returned from one of his long journeys around Africa and had come to wish Ivan a happy birthday. Could an unexpected visitor help him overcome his deepest fears? Could an old African song change his life forever?

Ganador de los International Latino Book Awards en 2014. El pequeño Iván tiene tantos miedos que ya no se acuerda de soñar. Una historia alentadora que nos despertará la fuerza necesaria para vencer nuestros miedos.

El mar, la niebla, los ruidos fuertes… ¡A Iván le da miedo todo! A veces le encantaría vivir grandes aventuras y visitar lugares lejanos, pero entonces se acuerda de que eso es imposible. Porque el secreto que Iván guarda es que, desde pequeño, siempre ha tenido mucho miedo a las cosas. Y, con tantos sustos y escalofríos, sus sueños de vivir grandes aventuras y visitar lugares remotos cada vez parecen más imposibles…

Un día llega a casa una visita inesperada. ¡Es el tío Harry! Había vuelto de uno de sus largos viajes por África, justo a tiempo para celebrar el cumpleaños de su sobrino. ¿Podrá una inesperada visita ayudarlo a superar sus miedos más profundos? ¿Podrá una vieja canción africana cambiarle la vida para siempre?
