Overview
Bronze Medal at the 2013 Moonbeam Children's Book Awards. A fun, tongue-in-cheek story about the magic of books and the power of imagination. Mary wants to be Philberta and everyone looks at her as if she was an alien—but who is Philberta?
Mary’s dad wants to be rich. Mary’s mom wants to live in a better house. The principal of her school wants to retire, and her teacher wants to be her new principal. Like all of the other grown-ups in the little girl’s life, they spend their time wishing for things that they believe will make them feel completely satisfied. So why do they look at Mary as if she were some kind of freak when she’s got a wish of her own: to be Philberta!
Maybe the mysterious storybook that Mary always carries with her can help put an end to all these useless wishes. I Want to Be Philberta reminds us that there’s nothing more gratifying than letting yourself get carried away in the fantasy of a good book.
Medalla de Bronce de los Moonbeam Children's Book Awards en 2013. Una historia desternillante sobre la magia de los libros y el poder de la imaginación. María quiere ser Filiberta y todos la miran como si fuera una extraterrestre, pero ¿quién es Filiberta?
Al padre de María le gustaría hacerse rico. A su madre, vivir en una casa mejor. Al director de la escuela le encantaría jubilarse y a su maestra, ¡ser la nueva directora! Como el resto de adultos que rodean a la niña, pasan el tiempo deseando cosas con las que sentirse plenamente satisfechos… Pero, entonces, ¿por qué miran todos a María como si fuera un bicho raro? Total, solo porque ella también formula su propio deseo: ¡ser Filiberta!
Quizá un enigmático cuento, del que la niña nunca se separa, pueda responder a estas preguntas, poniendo fin, de paso, al despilfarro de anhelos más grande que jamás se haya visto. Ser Filiberta nos recuerda que no hay más gratificante que dejarse llevar por la fantasía de una buena lectura.
