PUDDLE by Myrna Ivette Lugo Ramírez is a fascinating look at the origin of the Human Body told from the perspective of the organs. The organs use their imaginations and self-awareness to create their functions and relationships to one another in order to keep the Body alive. Their similarities are obvious, as are their differences, although they do not perceive this clearly. The message of PUDDLE is that no matter how different we are, what things we know and do, humanity will always depend on others. That is a powerful reason to show respect and kindness to one another by offering opportunities that include all types of talents.
