Letras nos cordóns (2012) is a book by Cristina Falcón Maldonado with drawings by Marina Marcolin and translated into Galician by Manuela Rodríguez.
The story is narrated by one of seven siblings who explains about Flor, the oldest of them all, the one that takes them to school. The narrator tells us that Flor likes going to school, she gets up first, she is brave, she likes wearing her special shoes, and she loves reading in her book.
"Flor xa sabe ler, di que as letras, que para min son unha desas cousas moi difíciles de entender e de xuntar, son contadoras de cousas e que cando aprendes a ler é como se che contasen contos."
"A Flor si lle gusta a escola, gústalle moito, e máis desde que lle deron o libro de lecturas. Non se lle estraga porque o coida moito, pero se segue así, vai quedar sen dedo, de tanto pasalo polas letras."
The ending of the tale, unexpected and moving, is memorable.
You can find this book at Biblioteca Pública Municipal Victoriano García Martí.
