Description

Este original libro está protagonizado por una línea. Es una sencilla raya hecha con lápiz que un día se aburre de hacer ejercicios sobre la página de un cuaderno cuadriculado y decide escapar del salón de clases. Muy contenta se va a recorrer el mundo. Así, la línea llega a una ciudad, escala altas montañas y conoce el mar, donde se enfrenta a unos temibles piratas. Es entonces cuando los lectores se percatan de que el verdadero protagonista de la historia es un niño llamado Leonardo, quien echa a volar su imaginación en medio de la clase y, mientras sus compañeros practican caligrafía, él se lanza a la aventura.

This unique book stars a line. It’s a simple line made with a pencil, but one day it gets bored of moving around the page of a gridded notebook and decides to escape the classroom. It’s very happy to be traveling the world. The line arrives in a city, climbs tall mountains, and experiences the sea, where it encounters some terrifying pirates. It’s then that readers realize that the true star of the story is a boy named Leonardo, who lets his imagination soar in the middle of class, heading out on an adventure while his classmates practice cursive.
