About this book

Español

La composición

Por las noches, Pedro y su familia oyen en la radio las noticias sobre el país, que vive bajo una dictadura. Un día, ve cómo se llevan detenido al padre de un amigo. Otro, en la escuela, un militar pide a los niños que escriban una redacción titulada: ?Lo que hace mi familia por las noches?. Así, Pedro debe responder por sí mismo la pregunta que una vez hizo a su padre: ¿puede un niño estar en contra de la dictadura?

English

Composition

Skármeta's sensitive story explores a boy's experience with the military dictatorship in his country. After he witnesses his friend's father being taken away by a military jeep, Pedro begins to wonder about his own relationship with his country's government. This award-winning story focuses on an aspect of current political history that is seldom presented in children's books.
