Canela (Gigliola Zecchin) · illustrated by Luciana Fernández

Bilingual Book Walk Story

It is Otto’s birthday and he wants to celebrate with all his friends. He sends invitations promising a big hug when they arrive. But how do his friends feel about that promised hug? One by one, they share their thoughts and fears. Leaning on each other, they discover that trusting friends goes a long way—even in the deep ocean.
