Qué raro, pensé que había llenado más datos de la ficha de este libro. Por lo que veo, pasó con más pena que gloria porque me costó hasta encontrar la tapa. Y la verdad que pese a lo tosquísimo del dibujo y a lo extremadamente melodramático del guion, es una linda historia. Difícil no sentir un poco de empatía por esos nenes sometidos a los vaivenes de su madre resentida, su padre preso, su abuelo violento, sus vecinos patoteros y un largo etcétera de situaciones poco gratas para ser vividas en la temprana infancia. Poroto en contra para la autora por no superar el Bechdel test, ya que la única charla que tiene una mujer con otra (la madre con una amiga, cuyos nombres no recuerdo) es sobre los nenes o sobre el ex marido.

This sad tales centers around Jumpy, a troubled five year old who is being raised by his mother, who finds being a single parent extremely difficult, and his bitter grandfather. This is a simple, yet very complex tale, and one of the saddest I've ever read. The reason for this is because each of the characters are realistically portrayed, I believed in every one.
