Una abuela común y corriente, pero no tanto... Porque necesita electricidad o a batería para contar los cuentos más sorprendentes.

Silvia Schujer nos ofrece un relato que enmarca a otras historias. Con ilustración de tapa y viñetas de interior de Pablo Bernasconi, este libro rescata los afectos y las relaciones de amor por sobre los avances tecnológicos.

¿Cómo será una abuela que debe enchufarse para que funcione? ¿Cómo hará esa abuela para contar historias? ¿En qué cosas la tecnología puede hacer un gran aporte y qué cosas es preferible que permanezcan como siempre?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A seemingly ordinary grandmother, but not quite... Because she needs electricity or batteries to tell the most amazing stories.

Silvia Schujer offers us a narrative that frames other stories. With cover illustration and interior vignettes by Pablo Bernasconi, this book highlights affection and loving relationships above technological advancements.

What would a grandmother who needs to be plugged-in to function be like? How would this grandmother tell stories? In what ways can technology make a significant contribution, and what things are better left unchanged?
Silvia Schujer nació en Buenos Aires. Con su primer libro Cuentos y chinventos ganó el Premio Casa de las Américas en 1986, y en 1994 el 3° Premio Nacional de Literatura por Las visitas. En 2004 y 2014 recibió el Premio Konex Literatura Infantil y Literatura Juvenil, respectivamente.
