Synopsis "Irene la Valiente (in Spanish)"

Irene, hija de la costurera, tiene una misión: llevarle un vestido a la duquesa. No la acobardará la tormenta ni un viento que insiste en darle miedo. Intenta atravesar el bosque: se le congelan las lágrimas, se hunde en la nieve, cae la noche... ¡Irene corre peligro! Ella es pequeña. Y sabemos que cuanto más pequeño eres,más valiente debes ser para hacer grandes cosas. Pero no en vano ella es Irene la valiente. Un cuento de hadas donde la heroína no es la princesa, sino la niña humilde. Un clásico moderno para primeros lectores.

William Steig (1907–2003) was a prominent American cartoonist and author, known for his work in The New Yorker and his children's books. He began his artistic career during the Great Depression, publishing his first cartoon in 1930. Throughout his life, he contributed more than 1,600 drawings and 117 covers for the magazine. At the age of 61, he ventured into children's literature, where he also left a significant mark.

Among his most recognized works are Sylvester and the Magic Pebble (1969), which received the Caldecott Medal; Doctor De Soto (1982), awarded the National Book Award; and Shrek! (1990), which inspired the successful namesake film franchise. His style is characterized by a combination of humor, tenderness, and a deep understanding of child psychology.
