The book Tiempo de otoño, written and illustrated by Concha Martínez Pasamar, professor at School of Philosophy and Letters of the University of Navarra, has been awarded the award Fundación Cuatrogatos 2021, which has been awarded for the last eight years from Miami (United States). Selected from among 1,200 volumes from 182 publishers from 16 countries, it has been awarded along with 19 other works. The jury, made up of a team of professionals from the fields of Philology, Education, journalism, sociology, librarianship, theater and the plastic arts, highlighted the book's "poetic prose and its charcoal and pastel illustrations, which delicately and wisely invite us to perceive minimal details that reveal the discreet and silent passage of time".

Hand in hand with a little girl, Pasamar travels and stops to observe "the first steps of an autumn that invites us to reflect on the past, appreciate the small treasures of everyday life and dream of warm futures, while savoring for a single moment the reddish rhythm and slow tone that characterizes this season". As he explains in her blogto write and illustrate it, she resorted to her most personal experiences. "There is much of my impressions as a child before the new season and what it brought (that entrance in a new cycle, the house as a shelter, the courtyard of high school, the mystery of the forest in the walks with my father) and much also of what I observed from the adult role: the pleasure of cooking, drawing or reading together, going out to look for mushrooms or buy a cone of chestnuts, or the warmth of the shared home while everyone is busy in their own task, that feeling so wonderfully comforting that sometimes still shakes me".

The book, edited by bookolia and published in Spanish, Catalan, Basque and Galician, can be purchased in bookstores or here.
