The Lonely Mailman

"Galan (It's a Pain to Be a Princess!) creates an enchanting forest community; crisp blue day gives way to a spectacular sunset and a night lit by candles that cast a furious orange glow. (...)Isern (Bear Wants to Fly) makes plain that the first steps to building community can be as simple as reaching out." -Publishers Weekly

"A loving tribute to problem-solvers, quarrel menders, and peacemakers." -Kirkus Reviews

"(...) Isern's cute-and-fuzzy story includes the text of the letters, which are full of invitations, apologies, and considerate sentiments. Galan's whimsical, richly painted scenes of expressive, nattily dressed forest denizens exude warmth, and as the sun sets on the mailman's day, the sky is filled with brilliant color, and the foreground scenes are thrown into sharp silhouette. A sweet story of generosity and sowing seeds of friendship." -Booklist

"A satisfying tale about a character so woven into the fabric of the day-to-day that the full extent of his impact goes unnoticed until, thanks to an observant mouse, it is recognized. A lovely choice for most shelves." -School Library Journal

"Friendship, solidarity, and other values are present throughout history. A delicate picture book, with warm illustrations full of details, where the reader can browse through the letters that each animal receives." -Canal Lector

"A book about friendship, solidarity, and other values. A delicate text by Susanna Isern with beautiful warm and very autumnal illustrations, printed in a sustainable way and on stone paper, a Cuento de Luz's bet that we love." -El Pais

"The Lonely Mailman makes us reflect on how important it is to take care of the needs of each other so that we can coexist peacefully and satisfactorily in the world, in the space we share. A picture book to talk about generosity, affection, the importance of living serenely to enjoy life while recognizing the limits of one's freedom and the freedom of others." -Literatura Respetuosa

"A story that shows us the importance of empathy and the ability to put oneself in the place of the other, fundamental when it comes to sharing spaces with others." -Apegoyliteratura
