Biografía de la autora

En este libro la biografía de la autora viene en inglés, ya que ni siquiera la han traducido, por lo que he decidido copiarla tal cual. 

Linda Thomas grew up in the suburbs of Chicago. She studied oil painting as a young child.  Her artistic talent grew as she did. She had a passion for sculpture as well as drawing. She graduated from Bethel College in St. Paul, Minnesota. She earned a B.A. with majors in Elementary Education and Physical Education. She enjoyed interning in the underprivileged areas of downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul.  The Lord led her to leave the cold weather of Minnesota and Illinois and teach fourth grade in Immokaee, a small farming town in Florida. She acquired her Master’s Degree in Administration of Education while teaching there. She later enjoyed teaching physical education in Naples, Florida. 

Linda retired from teaching after thirty years as a public school teacher in Collier County. She lives on a small ranch with her husband, Harold, where they train quarter horses and raise cattle.  

Linda is the author of the Little Miss Frisky series, “Little Miss Frisky—A Story about an Unwanted Pony,”  “Little Miss Frisky—A Brave Little Horse,” as well as this story “Little Miss Frisky—Sister Love.” She has also written the short devotional “Upward Climbing.” Linda enjoys playing the guitar and has recently written “He Put a Song in my Heart,” a Christian contemporary songbook with chords for guitar. 

“It’s wonderful to be able to retire to what God has been preparing me to do for a lifetime. God enabled me to write and illustrate this book so naturally. It was almost like the words and the pictures just rolled off the page with no effort on my part! It is my hope that children of all ages will enjoy reading this story.”

Opinión personal

La historia está narrada en primera persona por Frisky, un caballo de competición de barriles, que nos habla sobre las hermanas Kate y Tess. Se trata de ganar El Jinete de la Hebilla de Cinto del año y de seguirse llevando bien como hermanas. 

El libro está pesimamente traducido, lo que lo hace difícil de entender ya que faltan palabras o está todo mal escrito. A lo largo de la historia aparecen dibujos para ilustrarla. 

La parte de la historia cristiana de Navidad está un poco metida con calzador, o al menos eso me parece a mí. Todo para ambientarlo en la época navideña. 

El final era el esperado y acabe de leerlo porque era corto para no dejarlo ya casi en el final.
