ALMADA, ARIEL ANDRES
Winner at the 2013 International Latino Book Awards. Close your eyes and breathe in. Discover Annie's universe, a world of aromas and fragrances, where there is no room for the impossible.When Annie was born, everything was dark. She could feel the warmth of her mother as she held her in her arms, the smell of her father's newly washed shirt, and far away, she could hear the twittering of the birds as they slowly woke up to spring. But apart from that, everything else was darkness..Annie spends her days cooking in an old house with her grandma. Although she can't see, Annie has the gift of being able to feel our very deepest emotions and to bring them to life with her magical mixtures of cinnamon and saffron. But one day, she meets a person who awakens a boundless affection in her, someone who will introduce her senses to a completely unknown world.If we set our minds to it, we can all turn what we perceive as weaknesses into strengths.
