«Owen» is the children's picture book by Kevin Henkes, published by Editorial Everest in hardback (24 pages, in Spanish).
Owen adores his yellow blanket, Fuzzy, even though it's dirty and worn: it accompanies him to the dentist, helps him sleep, and even makes him invisible. When he starts school, his parents try to separate him from it, but Owen defends it cleverly until his mother finds a solution that pleases everyone.
Translation by María Luz Castela Gil-Torresano. It belongs to Kevin Henkes's Mouse Books series and was recognized as a Caldecott Honor Book in 1994.
For children aged 3 and up who, like Owen, have a favourite object they don't want to part with.
