A children's storybook written in the style of a modern fairytale
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Sonrieta is a children's storybook written in the style of a modern fairytale. Set in the land of Grimly Valley, a severe place where being serious is considered honorable and smiling is forbidden, Sonrieta is about a young girl who defies tradition with her happiness. Her parents try to teach her proper grim depression by sending her away to the Frowning Tower, but instead Sonrieta befriends the -painter, musician, poet, and dancer living there. Together the new friends return to the Town of Grim to show even the Great Grim himself and the Guards of the Grimmest Way that life is better when happiness, joy, and wonder are rightfully celebrated. Sonrieta may appear at first glance to be a picturebook, and indeed features a number of colorful and inspirational full-page illustrations, but the text is quite lengthy and involved. Sonrieta is therefore most appropriate for intermediate level young readers who are ready to tackle the next step beyond picturebook fare. Highly recommended.
