Esperando a pingüi by Rubén García and Anabel Manchón illus. by Azahar L. Giner Language: Spanish [Spain]: Chocolate, 2015. ISBN: 9788494485206 Summary: Pingüi es un pequeño pingüinito emperador que nació fruto del gran amor de sus padres y de una pingüina muy generosa que permitió que estuviera en su tripita hasta que viniera al mundo porque su mamá no podía tenerlo. Pero Pingüi también es un pingüino emperador, uno de las razas más bellas, fieles y valientes que hay en nuestro planeta. Todos los años estas aves dejan el océano, su hábitat habitual, para iniciar un viaje hacia el interior de la Antártida, su lugar de reproducción ancestral. Y es allí donde para que los polluelos sobrevivan, las mamás pingüinas han de hacer varios viajes desde el lugar de anidamiento hasta el océano, donde capturan la comida, mientras los papás Pingüi cuidan del polluelo a lo largo de varios meses, soportando las bajas temperaturas antárticas para proteger a su huevo del frío extremo, y durante todo este tiempo no se alimentan, por lo que pierden mucho peso mientras incuban, a la espera de que su cría salga del cascarón. Como los pingúinos emperadores, nuestro protagonista Pingüi nació también en tierras lejanas a la que tuvieron que viajar sus papis para poder tenerlo. Este cuento infantil esta inspirado en la propia historia de Anabel y Rubén, los autores de “Esperando a Pingüi”, y su viaje a Tailandia para hacer realidad su sueño de ser padres a través de la gestación subrogada.

Hon har berättat hur både bebisar och ormar blir till. Mamma har fått bebisfrön av en donator. Kan det vara så att det är en orm-äggdonator som har lämnat ett ormägg till Ebbe? Boken utforskar vad en donator är för något och hur det går till när spermier (bebisfrön) och ägg doneras så att det ska kunna bli familjer.
