When I was little, one of my favorite books was The island of the blue dolphins, by Scott O'Dell (published by La Galera, translated by Josep Vallverdú (with illustrations by Isidre Monés), an adventure book that tells the story of Won-a-pa-ley, a Native American girl who lives on an island off the coast of California. Otter hunters exterminate her tribe, and the survivors are taken away on a boat. Her little brother, Ramo, is accidentally left on the deck. When she realizes this, she jumps into the sea and swims back to be with him.
