In a successful attempt to recreate an intimate, tender space, Paloma here portrays a mother talking to her child. “If I were a sheep,” she says, “you’d be a lamb... If I were a rabbit, you’d be a bunny. And one day you’d jump away, to come back later turned into whatever you wanted. By then, I would be different as well. And even though we wouldn’t look the same, we would still be mother and son —we would still be us”. Just like that, with a few words and her characteristic graceful and elegant illustrative style, Paloma manages to portray in this lovely book the strength of the indestructible bond between a parent and her child. This is a delicate, tender, and beautiful work of art, illustrated by the now grown, confident pen of Paloma.
