A Home for Lia

A silent album book that tells the story of a lost girl in the middle of a lonely night landscape. A cat that watches from the distance gets closer to calm her and help her to find the lost path to her home. The loving feline will guide the girl in the journey from a material world to an immaterial one that will become her next home.
This is the second book by the author of the award-winning title The M Family. Faithful to the author’s style, the book is a nocturnal adventure that will thrill with his characters. Luis Peña Álvarez ratifies the talent of an illustrator by trade, a profound observer of his environment, with a deep imagination and an exceptional mastery of the fantastic.
