"PLATERO Y YO"

HER: While I was growing up, there were only a few books that would catch my attention. Trying to develop a taste for literature, I was presented with a book called "Platero y Yo" (translated: Platero and I) writen by a Spanish author named Juan Ramon Jimenez.

It was one of those books that becomes a favorite for a reason. This book poetically recreates the life and death of the donkey Silversmith. It is an adult text, although by its simplicity and transparency fits perfectly to the imagination of children. I recently found a summarized version of this book so I decided to share it with Sebastian.

While visiting the Louisville Zoo, I asked Sebastian what he thought we should name a donkey while we were petting it... He said... Platero!!
