In The Immense Nothing, María Baranda, a renowned Mexican writer, weaves a poetic work around the concept of nothingness through free verse that explores children's fears of the unknown. The protagonist faces this intangible presence that lurks in the city but overcomes it with the playfulness inherent to childhood. Set against the evocative illustrations of Maite Gurrutxaga—which guide us through a myriad of emotions with their architectural designs and urban figures—this work invites readers to enjoy an imaginative journey. Ideal for introducing children to poetry and encouraging reading aloud, it is a must-have for both school and personal libraries.
