El Rojo No Está Enojado, El Azul No Está Triste
por Alicia Acosta & Luis Amavisca
A estos amigos les gustan todos los colores. ¿Es el rojo el color del enojo? ¿Es el azul el color de la tristeza? El divertido grupo descubrirá que no es así. Zorro llega al parque y sus amigos le preguntan muy preocupados si se encuentra bien. Él está feliz y no entiende qué pasa. Todos están confundidos porque Zorro lleva una camiseta azul, y piensan que el azul es el color de la tristeza. Su amiga Osa le pone inmediatamente un jersey amarillo. Y cuando dice que necesita calma le pondrán algo verde, hasta que Zorro se desespera. Pero, ¿no pueden los colores ser libres? ¿Podemos disfrutar de ellos sin vincularlos a una emoción concreta? Luis Amavisca y Alicia Acosta, juntos de nuevo tras ‘¡Vivan las uñas de colores!’ y ‘La muñeca de Lucas’, en un libro que habla de la libertad de los colores. Un color no tiene por qué simbolizar una emoción. Eso nos reduce y nos quita libertad.
