About the author

Laura Esquivel is a Mexican novelist, screenwriter, and former politician best known for her internationally acclaimed debut novel Like Water for Chocolate (Como agua para chocolate). Blending magical realism with deep cultural roots, the novel became a bestseller in Mexico and the United States and was adapted into a successful film that received multiple international awards. Originally trained in education and theater, Esquivel began her career writing for children’s television and later moved into cinema and literature, often weaving food, family, and emotion into her stories.
Esquivel’s fiction is known for its lyrical style and its exploration of love, tradition, and identity, frequently drawing on Mexican history and folklore. Her other novels include The Law of Love, Swift as Desire, and Malinche, which reimagines the story of the controversial historical figure linked to Hernán Cortés. She has also published essays on food and culture in Between Two Fires and returned to her most beloved character in El diario de Tita.
In addition to her literary work, Esquivel served as a deputy in the Mexican Congress for the Morena Party and has been active in cultural and environmental policy. Her writing continues to inspire discussions on gender, power, and the enduring bonds of heritage.

Reviews

[Naomi Booker · Rating 5 out of 5]

Me parece muy bueno para un público infantil-juvenil, trae temas bastante interesantes que vale la pena leer, las ilustraciones son muy buenas, me dió mucha ternura el final.

[Marcela Lavat · Rating 2 out of 5]

No me gustó nada, es un cuento tenebroso y no lo veo adecuado para los niños.
Algunas ideas rescatables, pero se siente forzado el intento de ser un cuento con una narrativa original.

[Aurora Gutierrez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Libro dirigido a niños, una aventura mágica que atrapará el interés de los pequeños, pero también sacudirá el corazón y la mente de los más grandes.

Qué significa el amor, que significa la vida, qué significa morir? Se necesita parir para ser madre? Padre es el que engendra? O es algo más profundo? Chan chan chaaaaan!!!

This is where my love for literature started, when I was a little girl. I recently reread it, and it still had its charm.
