«Cuentos de verano» is the short story book by Grégoire Solotareff, published by Anaya Infantil y Juvenil in hardback (224 pages, in Spanish).
The stories in this volume have animal protagonists and a philosophical tone, with humour, irony and nods to the contemporary world, as well as disillusionment and self-mockery. Each story corresponds to a day of summer, up to autumn, and they can be read at random, in one sitting or one per day.
Translation by Olga Escobar Moreno. Published in May 2004 in the «Leer y Pensar» collection. Recommended reading age: 8 to 12 years.
Aimed at readers aged 8 to 12 who enjoy short, ironic stories with animal protagonists.
Grégoire Solotareff is a French artist, writer and illustrator of children's books. Solotareff practiced as a doctor from 1978 to 1985, before beginning his career as an illustrator with Hatier. The publication of his Loulou series from 1989 marked a turning point in his career, showcasing the bold lines and flat primary colours, inspired by Matisse and Van Gogh, that he would become known for. Loulou has sold over a million copies worldwide, but was only translated into English for the first time in 2017.
