Juan is recovering from an illness and, lying in bed, he thinks of the life out in the street, at school, he thinks of her friend… meanwhile, his bedroom turns into a magical world in which seagulls, ships, firefighters and toys have life of their own

A touching story about illness and child’s imagination, which turn everyday objects into fantasy beings

The friendship between an elder man who is nearly blind and his little nephew, the slow walks along Prado Avenue, the laughs, those dreamed trips on train… until death interrupts this mutual understanding. A beautiful picture book.

“The Train is a beautiful metaphor” (CLIJ, Children and Young Adult’s Literature Notebooks).

“The Train is a picture book that appeal to emotion” (Cuatrogatos, Children’s Literature magazine).
