The presentation of this children’s and youth genre book will be given by its author, Fran Nuño.
El mapa de los buenos momentos (The Map of Good Moments) is a children’s and youth genre book whose main character is Zoe, a girl who will make you think about the process of migration and what it feels like to become a displaced person. Zoe will draw her “map of good moments,” marked by the happy memories of her childhood and the city where she was born, memories which she will always keep with her, undoubtedly underlying other feelings she has inside, like those of being a refugee and immigrant, the feeling of having to be on the move as an expatriate, and even the feelings caused by the conflict of war.
The book, filled with illustrations by Zuzanna Celej in light colors that have a romantic look to them and translated into English and Arabic, will be presented by its author, Fran Nuño, as well as Ana Eulate, a writer and the founder of the publishing firm Cuento de Luz, and Javier Rosón, Casa Árabe’s coordinator in Cordoba.
