One of the ten best children books of the year by the newspaper El País, 2022

Vinayaki, a blue elephant, has damaged her eyes and tomorrow they will have to be replaced. Although she knows it is for the best, she cannot help feeling afraid. What if she is not the same afterwards? What if that small change changes everything?

Before the operation, she arrives at the home of Gordon, a charming Scottish bear who welcomes her with a delicious cake and open arms. There she will meet other very special friends: Pierre, a lion with a removable tail; Harriet, who will also be repaired; and Nena Gol, who speaks with only two syllables.

Together they will create a safe space full of tenderness, humor, and companionship where Vinayaki will discover something important: changes don’t take away who we are… they help us continue to grow.

A luminous story about fear, friendship, and the courage to remain true to oneself.
