The Best Family in the World




The Best Family in the World
This story will get to you for sure. In the story The Best Family in the World by Susana Lopez, we go inside a little girl's life who waits and waits patiently in the orphanage until a family is ready to adopt her. When Carlota gets called in the director's office, she is told she is being adopted by a family. Of course, at that moment Carlota feels excited, happy, but also nervous. She is so nervous she can't sleep. So she lets her imagination wonder if this new family might be a family of pastry chefs. Or a family of pirates. Or a family of tiger trainers with an adventurous life. Or better yet, may be they are a family of astronauts. Poor Carlota, has anxiety, does not let her mind rest at all. And finally the day she meets the family is here and she realizes that this family has everything she could ask for, making them without any doubt, the BEST family in the world. Sweetly written, with illustrations created by Ulises Wensell that portrait the wildest imagination Carlota has. This books is a celebration of love, hope, family and trust.
