Amor
Este libro encanta y deleita, atrapa a cuanto lector se encuentra con él. Su historia dulce y conmovedora se cuenta en páginas de diferentes colores y tamaños; páginas con recortes y pestañas, páginas con agujeros y solapas… Páginas de todas formas y tramas. Amor cuenta una historia muy simple sobre una niña. Sus padres se fueron cuando ella cumplió nueve años. Llega a un orfanato. Solitaria y un poco inusual, observa a la gente con sus grandes ojos. A menudo las cosas que hace no están bien, y la gente no la trata de lo mejor. Lo único que quieren es mandarla lejos. Hasta que un día… A más de 50 años de su primera publicación (Francia 1954), Amor continúa hechizando a cualquiera que recorra sus páginas.

baca buku ini paling sekitaran 10 menit barangkali. temanya sederhana. tentang gadis kecil yatim piatu yang tidak terlalu disukai. ia tidak cantik, tidak pernah diberi pujian, tidak punya teman, dikatai aneh, dan kadang perilakunya dinilai tidak dapat diterima. yang membuat buku ini saya beri 5 bintang karena keseluruhan konsep bukunya saya sukai. tidak saja karena ilustrasinya menarik buat saya, penyajian kisah per halamannya yang unik, namun juga akhir kisah yang 'ngena'. mengharu biru deh. layak koleksi.
*terimakasih untuk kurir buku ini*

Sedih 😢 Ada sedikiiit kisahnya yang relate dengan masa kecil saya. Jadi terasa ke hati.
Tentang gadis kecil panti asuhan yang tidak cantik, tidak menarik, tidak punya teman, tidaknpernah dipuji, dan sering dianggap aneh dan disalahsangkai oleh teman-temannya. Hingga suatu hari, direktur panti asuhan ingin memindahkannya ke panti lain.
Bukan hanya kisahnya yang menarik, tapi ilustrasi dan pengemasannya juga menarik. Sejenis buku lift the flap.

Quise llorar, pero estaba en el trabajo. Es una potente historia para reflexionar sobre el apego y el abandono en la infancia. El recurso material de las hojas recortadas está rebueno también, vuelve la experiencia literaria más dinámica.

This is an odd little book, but a gorgeous and unique experience nevertheless.
It reminds me of an experimental film, playing with this art form of "print" to bring you an emotion, a feeling to carry with you after you've finished reading it.
It's a book to be read and experienced, as the presentation and art is one of the most unique things I've seen in a long while, but it doesn't last long. And if you're looking for a full-bodied and fulfilling story, you won't find it here, either.
What you will find is something all its own, something beautiful, and a note of emotion that will hang around in your mind like a hard candy slowly dissolving on your tongue.

Graphically interesting and unique, but a bittersweet story. While I have met children in the school system like this child, I'm not sure I would have the heart to give them this book or read them this story. To me it feels like a children's book that should be aimed at adults. A thought provoking reminder that children who are unkind and disruptive may be starving for love and acceptance.

Charmed, sweet, heartbreaking..in colourful vivid pages. Punched and cut here and there..creatively customized for each of the page!!
A story of a lonely little girl..who missed love..and finally she found it :) yippy!!

I love the concept so much! This book is filled with vivid colors and interesting die cut that attracted my attention. I will rate it an easy 5 stars. Highly recommended.

A pseudo-metamorphic book about a nine-year old orphan who is not very good-looking and who finds life at the orphage difficult.
She perseveres, overcomes her problems and surprises the director of the orphanage when he is presented with a missive that she has left in the trunk of a tree.
The book is beautifully presented with cut-outs and different coloured paper that enhance the delightful illustrations.

I found this amazing little book in the teen fiction section of my library and was immediately interested because it is unlike any YA fiction I've read so far. The quirky illustrations and cut-outs in the pages gave the short story more dimension and made it really fun to read. The story is a small one but is one that I had to give some time for the meaning and impact to be completely absorbed. I also don't want to give it back to the library. It's definitely a buy for me!

This gorgeously touching book is the story of a girl grappling with self-esteem and acceptance in an orphanage. Vanni carefully exposes feelings and perspective with well-placed cut outs which tease to and reveal images or chunks of text.
An absolute wonder.

This book is a great little one to have. It is a cute story and the graphics are amazing. It was written and illustrated by a professor of mine and it's truly a treasure.
