The Footprint ― The brilliant work of the artist and,
specifically, the realism with which LuzĂłn brings this story to
life forces us to experience the protagonist's emotions in every
stroke. “Throughout the book, a striking contrast emerges
an animal world with human feelings.” The compositions and
techniques with which the artist plays to recreate the various
scenarios and breathe life into the protagonist’s emotions
overwhelm the reader to the point where it is impossible not to
empathize with him. Images and verses that envelop us in an
atmosphere as turbulent as friendship can be a difficult beginning,
with an initial rejection of the different, what we call
“strange,” which quickly finds that gift of life called
friendship, the one that allows us to face and even forget all the
adversities that cross our path. A strong and intense
friendship that carries us along on a river of fun and well-being
and that both Sobrino and LuzĂłn manage to make us feel between the
pages of this beautiful album. Companionship can be one of the most
beautiful experiences to be discovered in childhood, but it can
also be one of the most painful when it breaks down. That’s
why this story isn’t just about how good it is to have a great
friend. Sometimes things go wrong; paths diverge, and, without
expecting it, lives that were once one become separated
forever. Dealing with the grief you experience, especially
for a child, is not easy. This is why this beautiful book gives us
a powerful message of hope and illusion: “That those who were
here may have left an indelible mark, but they also leave a space
that can be filled by others who are ready to make us immensely
happy.”. Because in childhood, during emotional turmoil,
friendship can be a wonderful experience or the most significant
lesson.
