Long plaits aren’t just one of Marta’s physical characteristics. Marta, the main character in I loved them, is a dreamy and sensitive girl who spends her life worrying about her mother’s health; she grows up and comprehends that things are no longer the same.

This deeply literary text by Maria Martínez i Vendrell, with illustrations by Carme Solé Vendrell, tells a tale of growing up with a tender subtlety, similar to the very process carried in human beings. In 1983 the book was deservedly awarded the Apel·les Mestres prize.
