Los libros de Kitty, de @paulabooks.bsky.social, tienen algo que los hacen diferentes de otros libros infantiles. Son preciosos, por sus ilustraciones, de Jenny Lovlie, pero también por la atmósfera hogareña, por esa ciudad que duerme mientras Kitty sale de aventura con sus amigos.

With news of a reported settlement with Anthropic I went back to check the class action form and it now allows authors outside the US to input their address, so it may be worth adding your known pirated titles (from the LibGen pirate database) www.lieffcabraser.com/anthropic-au...
