Citi of Books is ecstatic to announce the publication of the book “Alisa en el Pais del Lavavajillas” (Spanish Edition) by Marian Flores. This enchanting book has a Spanish and English version and is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other retail sites.
Author and illustrator, Marian Flores attended Paier School of Art, where she earned a certificate in Advertising and Commercial Art. After working for many years as a graphic artist, she returned in 2002 to college, graduating from Naugatuck Valley Community College in 2004, where she received an A.S in General studies. In preparation for a career teaching art, she will graduate Central Connecticut State University in December 2006, with a B.S. in Art Education. Marian currently resides in Wolcott, CT, with her husband, Pete, and son Richard.
The book does what the best stories do: it makes the readers see ordinary things in a way they never had before.
“Alisa en el Pais del Lavavajillas” follows a ten-year old girl as she is whisked away into an enchanted world nestled inside the family dishwasher. There she discovers mysterious creatures who teach her that by looking beyond what she sees, she can find exactly what she’s looking for, even if she didn’t know she was searching.
Alisa en el Pais del Lavavajillas is a contemporary twist and plays on words with the classic book, Alice in Wonderland, inspired by the author’s dislike for washing dishes as a child, and her nieces distain for putting dishes into the dishwasher. When Marian’s sister had a dream that she was living in the dishwasher, she found a way to combine all these things into this whimsical fable.
Below is the Spanish description of the book:
“Flores ha creado una heroina luchadora y divertida y un mundo repleto de ingeniosas maravillas.
El libro hace lo que hacen las mejores historias: to hac ever las cosas ordinarias de una manera que nunca antes habias visto”.
