«El bolso amarillo» is the short children's fantasy novel by Lygia Bojunga Nunes, published by Espasa-Calpe in paperback (153 pages, in Spanish).
A sensitive, imaginative girl keeps three wishes in a yellow bag, wishes she hides to avoid clashing with her family: to grow up, to be a boy, and to write. Between domestic life and a fantasy world with secret friends, the protagonist moves through real and imaginary episodes in which identity, freedom, and imagination make their way.
The work was originally published as «A Bolsa Amarela» in 1976; this Spanish edition is number 7 of Austral Juvenil and includes illustrations by Araceli Sanz.
Aimed at children and young readers who enjoy fantastic tales about the power of imagination.
