El viaje de Kalak (Kalak's Journey)
Kalak vive con su familia en la parte del mundo donde los nidos son viejos, los tejados están destruidos, el suelo está seco y nunca hay suficiente comida.
Un día deciden abandonar todo y volar hacia otro lugar.
El viaje de Kalak ayuda a los lectores a entender lo que significa dejar la casa y el país de uno con la esperanza de tener una vida nueva, haciéndolos pensar en su propia identidad y lo que les significaría mudarse a un lugar completamente diferente.
Kalak lives with his family in a part of the world where the nests are old, the roofs are all damaged, the earth is dry, and there is never enough food. One day, they decide to leave everything behind, and fly off to a new part of the world…
Kalak's Jouney
helps readers understand what it's like to leave your home and country with the hope of a new life, encouraging them to think about their own identity and what it would feel like to move some place completely different.
