Premiado por la Fundación Cuatro Gatos 2023. Una abuela y su nieta
exploran juntas los secretos de la naturaleza y forjan un vínculo
que perdurará para siempre. Con alas de mariposa es una tierna
historia sobre una niña que pierde a su amada abuela y encuentra
consuelo al recordarla a través de todo lo que aprendió de ella.
Fue la abuela la que me enseñó a escuchar el canto de las aves.
Sus ojos me enseñaron a contemplar esos pequeños pájaros y a
observar aquello que los hacía tan especiales. Juntas
escuchábamos al mirlo cantar entre los murmullos de la ciudad que
se despertaba, intentado adivinar dónde se encontraba. La abuela
era mi mejor maestra: me enseñaba todos los secretos de la
naturaleza, la magia de las flores, el aliento de las monarcas…
Por eso, aunque ella ya no esté, vivirá en mí a través del
canto de la naturaleza.

kite sheltering our hopes and dreams. Through this kite trip, we

can’t stop but smiling when imagining a better future, Anja and
his brother Tuvo, who rummage through the garbage to find something
of value… The Kite of Dreams is an invitation to discover the
different cultures of the world and to dream of a better world. A
world with unpolluted air, where every child has access to
education, a world with clean and uncontaminated waters, where
biodiversity is preserved and forests are conserved. And more
importantly, a world in which each child can be happy and reach out
to those who need it.
