The Children of Bothell: My Picture Book of Memories

By Jesus Eugenio Davila Gonzalez

This is a book intended to make children write, read, and draw. It is a book for future artists, and each illustration has a blank page so that the child may use it. Because it is the book of a future great artist, children should keep it for their whole lives. The Children of Bothell tells us a story in each illustration, but the most important thing is that it tells us that sometimes unexpected storms can surprise us but that we shouldnt fear them as they will pass and that we should always be prepared to receive them. Remember that to fly to the sky, you wont make it with balloons but rather with your mind and heart.
