Soledad, de ocho años, detesta llegar a un apartamento vacío después de la escuela. Para enfrentar la soledad de ser una niña con llave propia, inventa una hermana imaginaria que le haga compañía. Pero cuando dos amigos del vecindario descubren su secreto, imaginan una solución aún mejor para aliviar su tristeza. El poeta Rigoberto González narra esta tierna historia bilingüe con calidez y sinceridad, mientras las suaves ilustraciones en pastel de Rosa Ibarra dan vida a un vecindario neoyorquino, capturando tanto el dolor de la soledad como el consuelo de la verdadera amistad.

Soledad Sigh-Sighs

Eight-year-old Soledad hates coming home to an empty apartment after school. To cope with the loneliness of being a latchkey child, she invents an imaginary sister to keep her company. But when two kind, imaginative neighborhood friends discover her secret, they dream up an even better solution to ease her sadness. Poet Rigoberto González tells this tender bilingual story with warmth and honesty, while Rosa Ibarra's soft pastel illustrations bring a lively New York City neighborhood to life, capturing both the ache of solitude and the comfort of true friendship.
