Without words and only through its images, this work narrates the fun walk -full of unexpected discoveries- of a child through a landscape of lush vegetation that occupies the entire double page. It is a metaphor of life, since in the trajectory of the protagonist traveling paths, crossing the thicket, going down and up through strange places, nothing turns out to be what it seems: neither the path, nor the mysterious eyes that lurk in the multicoloured jungle, nor the mountain… A suggestive proposal to be part of the adventure, curiosity and fantasy.
Jungle is a brilliant and surprising story, simple and original, that captivates due to its great chromatic richness based on perceptible brushstrokes on the surface of the paper, where small details and large volumes coexist; a game of perspectives that reaches an unforeseen ending, with the child entering a space completely different from the original, but full of everything that he has treasured in his memory.
