En Tristany obsequia el seu amic Marcel amb un tros roba que li va sobrar de les cortines. A en Marcel li hauria agradatmés una baldufa, però acaba agraint el regal perquè se n?adona de la quantitat d?utilitats que pot arribar a tenir un tros de roba: serveix per netejar-se, per protegir-se del sol, per creuar un riu, per abrigar-se, per fugir dels perills...Sota la llaçada i el paper de regal, un obsequi pot esdevenir una desillusió per a qui esperava una altra cosa. En Marcel apreciarà la senzillesa del detall perquè els protagonistes d?aquesta història pertanyen a un món on es valoren els objectes més insignificants com ara; les xapes, els suros, les cordes i fins i tot una pedra pot esdevenir la joguina més meravellosa o una fascinant capsa de sorpreses.

In this funny and heartwarming picture book, a grandfather shows his love and appreciation for a grandmother as he persuades her to attend a local dance with him.“Fun and feisty—these memorable characters are a delight to know and revisit.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)Grandfather is tending his garden when a loudspeaker announces a dance in the local park. He asks Grandmother to join him, but she has many reasons to delay their outing: she needs to put eyeliner around her eyes—which are as sad as a moonless night—and color in her hair—which is as gray as an autumn cloud. Grandfather counters with loving arguments of his own: her sad eyes look like stars and her hair is as perfect and white as a summer cloud. Playful illustrations complement this touching banter, which culminates in a trip to the dance where Grandmother tells Grandfather, “You are as pretty as the moon.”An Aldana Libros Book, Greystone Kids
