El jardín de los errores

Set in traditional Japan, The Garden of Mistakes is a moving and visually powerful story about growing up, making mistakes, and learning. Mei is a curious and restless girl who helps her parents at the market until, one afternoon, her impulse leads her to cross the line and enter an ancient shrine. An unexpected accident —the fall of the temple's main statue— unleashes a torrent of stares, silences, and guilt that Mei doesn't know how to handle. In her flight into the forest, the girl encounters the oldest woman in the village, guardian of a secret garden where mistakes are neither hidden nor punished, but transformed. There, each mistake becomes a seed that must be nurtured with time and patience. Through a clear and memorable metaphor, the book offers a luminous perspective on mistakes as a driving force for learning and emotional growth. A poetic and accessible tale that connects tradition, nature, and emotion, designed for children and families, with a universal and profoundly relevant message.
