About the book:

A picture book, reminiscent of the oral tradition, Seashelling takes us on a journey which, along with the illustrations, revisits the concept of circularity and its shapes, transforming it into a story that always begins again at the end.

Excerpt:

The wind inspired the sail, the sail propelled the ship, the ship grazed the sea, the sea colored the fish, the fish woke the wave, the wave toppled the girl, the girl shook the crab, the crab pinched the dog, the dog scared the seagull, the seagull ruffled the boy, the boy dropped the bucket, the bucket launched the seashell, and the seashell unleashed the wind that inspired the sail that propelled the ship that grazed the sea that colored the fish that woke the wave that toppled the girl that shook the crab that pinched the dog that scared the seagull that ruffled the boy that dropped the bucket that launched the seashell that whispered this story in my ear.

Translated by Rafael Abuchedid / Edited by Cecilia Della Croce.

My name is Adrián Yeste and I am from Leon, Spain. Many years ago, I crossed the sea and arrived in Argentina. Behind me, there was nothing but water; ahead, the Pampas. I felt as if I were before an immense blank page where anything could be written. Since then, I have devoted myself to telling stories out loud. I visit schools, libraries, and theaters as a storyteller. Sometimes my words, tired from their dizzying airy life, prefer to rest between the pages of some book. It only takes someone opening it to have them stretch, comb their letters, put their ink dress on, and introduce themselves.

Gina García. When I was a girl, I discovered I loved drawing, I did it all the time. Everyone loved my drawings and asked me to draw something for them, which was a lot of fun for me. Over the years, I wanted to transform that passion into a profession, so I decided to study arts. While in university, I discovered illustration for children, and opened a magical door full of colors behind which I could do anything I wished to do, like becoming a child again, having people who liked my drawings, and being asked to draw something for them, among other things. Since then, I collect books, read them, and imagine other books as I do it. I want to illustrate everything, to keep playing with one and a thousand pages, and to tell many stories through pictures.
