Ratón de biblioteca (The Reader) is the story of a girl and her family library. It’s about the moments stolen from nap time to read in the quiet silence that remains when everyone else is resting. The stories she takes with her to continue reading in the garden or in the bathtub. The books that rock us, cradle us, and take us away. That accompany us day and night.

It is the beginning of an intimate and personal journey, curious and real (and a little imaginary at times) of the little protagonist through the world of books. And a reflection on the importance of books in our lives, from early childhood.

The Reader is a journey that begins in childhood. A love story for books. A romance that grows as the first letters and stories are strung together. It is an emotional and vivid recreation of everything we feel thanks to those first books we read, which excite us and take us on journeys without moving.
