Una Grieta En La Pared

"With the hope that their circumstances will improve in the near future, Carlos and his mother move to a small, shabby apartment. Trying to make the best of a bad situation, Carlos cheers his mother by transforming a large crack in the wall into a beautiful tree. The story, translated into Spanish, is unconvincing; the unattractive illustrations are heavily tinted in blue tones".--"The Horn Book".
