After some years without seeing her family, a woman travels to the United States to visit them: her brother, who is married to an American, and her mother. During the 18 days she spends with them, she tries to reconstruct the past and history. To do so, she uses memory and recollections (always tricky), but also an attempt - previously failed - to put some of that history into words.

This book pays homage to an entire generation who lived through a time of upheaval and suffering, not just in Spain but across the planet. It tells stories of simple people who longed, like all of us, for a better world, all with very different solutions seen through different perspectives that ended up as a collective disaster from which the generations to come have had to learn.

Leotolda's friends come to see her at home, but they can't find her anywhere. They search for her in places full of magic and adventure but, however hard they try, they can't find her. You can help them. This is a picture book that develops little people's imagination. The illustrations are lively and original and, with only three pigments create a universe of colours.
