Me hablo bonito

Written by Carmen Esteban · Illustrated by Ingrid Valls · Carambuco Ediciones · 2026

Me hablo bonito is a picture book about emotions, self-talk and learning to treat ourselves with kindness.

Clara has a dark cloud over her head that makes her feel sad and nervous. With the help of Cuca, a magical little firefly, she embarks on a journey to understand what she is feeling and discover the power of speaking kindly to herself.

I loved bringing Clara's emotional world to life through colour, expressive characters and a little touch of magic.
