Title: Cipariso
Description: "En Cipariso hay una perrita que se pierde en un parque, un conejito dormido, un caballito entre las nubes y un pajarito que se marcha a un largo viaje. En Cipariso está Irene saltando a la comba, Javier mirando al cielo, Martina que tiene pesadillas, y Daniel que carga con una mochila Ilena de ropa. En Cipariso hay cuatro vientos y también hay un árbol. El árbol más alto de la ciudad, y está llorando..."--Back cover.

"Cyparissus, referencing Greek mythology from which the Cypress tree received its name and became a symbol of mourning, intertwines four different stories of four children who lose their loved animals. It is a ... book that will help children assimilate the loss of a pet and overcome their grief, learning to deal with other losses in life. In Cyparissus there is a little dog who gets lost in a park, a sleeping rabbit, a horse up in the clouds, and a bird setting off on a long, long journey. In Cyparissus there is Irene playing jump rope, George looking up at the sky, Molly who has bad dreams, and Danny carrying a backpack full of T-shirts. In Cyparissus there are four winds and a tree -- the tallest tree in the whole city -- and it's crying."--Amazon.com description.
