About the book:
"I don't like feathers" is a humorous tale with a macaw and an alligator as protagonists. It is an amusement for children in early childhood. Given the tropical environment in which it takes place, it is designed to be very colorful and striking.
Its text, planned to be read by someone older, gives the possibility of sharing a joyful family moment together with the illustrations. It has no moral, it does not teach good behavior, it is fun. I think it has a good chance of being well marketed.
If it is of interest to you, I can provide an English version.

"No me gustan las plumas" es un cuento humorístico con un guacamayo y un caimán como protagonistas. Es un divertimento para niños en la primera infancia. Dado el ambiente tropical en que se desarrolla, fue diseñado para ser muy colorido y llamativo.
Su texto, planeado para ser leído por alguien mayor, da la posibilidad de compartir un momento familiar alegre junto a las ilustraciones. No tiene moraleja, no enseña buenas conductas, hay diversión. Considero que tiene muchas posibilidades de ser bien comercializado.

"From the top of a palm tree, in the nearby jungle, a foreign macaw knew very well what those golden cakes full of tasty seeds were."
"-Okay, let's make a deal: I'll let you eat one of my sunflowers, but first you clean my teeth. The little bird that used to do it doesn't come here much anymore. What do you think?"
