Picture books by Andres Lopez (judging from those featured at Los Angeles Public Library's 2023 FESTIVAL DE LIBROS, Croco, Pantera, Gigante en la Orilla) often have theme of search for community & acceptance, support.
These may only be available in Spanish, but since that is language with second highest number of native speakers on the planet (See preface to 2oth anniversary edition of book BREAKING OUT OF BEGINNER'S SPANISH) would be great idea to become part of "a larger world" by becoming--at least--bilingual.
https://lapl.org/libros-fest/authors 3 hours long Sept 29 virtual event may later be available on LAPL's Youtube channel. Showed some of range of Hispanic culture thru authors & musicians from many Spanish speaking countries .
Tho aimed at children and teachers, found very moving presentation by picture book author ANDRES LOPEZ. What was shown of their books seems to draw from personal experiences of feeling they didn't fit into the world, trying to find community & friends. Adults may intuit reason for theme perhaps not explicitly given in books. Lopez illustrated book written by a friend about a giant for whom "normal people" built a cello of doors, tables and other pieces of wood patched together. https://andreslapiz.com/
Learning about others, leading to understanding & cooperation is important message in increasingly global culture.

Un bonito cuento sobre la aceptación y el sentido de pertenencia. Me causó un poco de gracia la ironía de que, mientras la pantera buscaba desesperadamente un lugar al cual pertenecer, intentó formar parte de una manada de cebras. Sin embargo, la lluvia terminó borrando sus rayas y, justo cuando se había resignado a estar sola, encontró por fin a su propia tribu: un grupo de panteras con las que, curiosamente, terminó yendo a cazar cebras. En fin, la hipocresía.

Me sigue gustando mucho la habilidad como ilustradora de Andrés Lápiz; lo orgánico y espontáneo de cada imagen, su paleta de color y técnica mixta.
Simplemente, soy su fan ✨

Es la historia de una pantera que se pregunta por su soledad… qué linda historia. Este autor escribe historias tristes.
