"Como é bom poder voar...", pensou o pequeno bruxo, "e ter um amigo!"

Realmente as necessidades da vida nos ensinam a "voar" direitinho!

I adore Kohara's books. This was the only one of his that I hadn't read and it did not disappoint! A simple story that is both endearing and enjoyable.

I love Kazuno Kohara. This book has the same beautiful, cute but refined art style as The Midnight Library aka the best book ever, and a similarly adorable but not quite saccharine story. Also: dragon.

Enjoyed on OpenLibrary.org. Very short and simple. The theme is obvious: make your wishes unselfishly and they're more likely to come true. I love that it's a wizard instead of a witch, too.

Este cuento es sencillamente precioso. Escrito en un idioma que es fácil para los niños y manejando una trama que es difícil. Las ilustraciones son bellísimas además.

This is so cute! My Spanish is pretty rusty but it's a good book for brushing up and/or learning new words. "PATAPLAAAF!!"
