«Esperando» is Kevin Henkes's children's picture book, published by Editorial Juventud in hardback (32 pages, in Spanish).
Five animal-shaped toys wait together on a windowsill for the moon, the wind, the snow, or perhaps something unexpected to arrive. The waiting becomes a celebration of surprise, friendship, and small everyday pleasures, and invites children to notice what is happening around them.
The original book, Waiting, was published in 2015; this Spanish-language edition is from 2016. The work was nominated for the Caldecott Medal and the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award.
Ideal for early readers and for sharing aloud during family story sessions.
