A poetic journey through the insects that a garden houses, where each page is thought in relation to the different shades of light over the course of a day. The book begins at dawn and ends at night, with a nice snail that opens and closes the collection of poems. The brief stories of these little bugs that inhabit the plants are also displayed in different poetic forms (calligrams, concrete poetry, haikus, tankas, fibs and others without a specific form); poems in general short and with great musicality, so that the little ones can explore with all their senses.
Readers: 3 to 6 years old.
