      Niekto z nás nemôže zaspať, ktosi sa zase budí priskoro. V detskej rýmovanej knižke si musia deti po svojom poradiť s každodennými výzvami. Ako zaspať, keď vám nedá pokoj príliš hravý psík a oteckovia sú už príliš unavení? Čo s tým, keď vstanete ráno skôr a mamičky so sestričkou ešte spia, ale vy s mačkou ste príšerne hladní? Vo veršovaných príbehoch nájdete rodiny, ktoré síce majú dvoch oteckov a dve mamičky, ale trápia ich rovnaké problémy ako všetkých ostatných. Hlavné je predsa to, že sa majú navzájom radi.

      Poetry. Translated from the Spanish by Lawrence Schimel. While best-known for her prose, award-winning novelist Care Santos has also published one collection of poems, DISSECTION, which won the Carmen Conde Prize in 2007 and appears here in English translation for the first time. In poems filled with astute and acerbic observations, Santos mercilessly dissects her own life to cut to the quick of what it means to be a woman—and in love—in the modern world. Often turning to humor and self- deprecation to expose the flaws in her relationships—or perhaps in all relationships—these poems are sure to resonate for all readers who have ever (nervously, joyously, selflessly) given their heart to another.
