Cipariso : no se olvida lo que se muere, se muere lo que se olvida
(Book)

"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.
