Iguales, pero diferentes Same, Same but Different Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw (text and illustration)
Gallo de cristal Glass Rooster Francesca Massai (text and illustration)
Eliot and Kailash are pen pals. They live in very different places. But when they exchange letters and drawings, they discover that they both have pets, they both love climbing trees, and they both go to school by bus. Their worlds look very different, but in fact they are very similar.
Once upon a time, the rooster finds a letter right on his doorstep, and he picks it up with a single peck. It is an invitation to the pigs’ wedding. But not every animal in the neighborhood has been invited to the big event, and the wolf is not happy, so he devours the guests. Well, not all of the guests… and the little bird will soon teach him a lesson. A traditional Italian folk tale reminds us how valuable both imagination and confidence truly can be.
