La revista londinense Boat, sobre viajes y cultura en ciudades que se están convirtiend en "points" emergentes tales como Estambul o Reykjavik, o ya conocidas como Londres y Los Ángeles, dedica su última edición a nuestra querida Lima. Su web le da algunas líneas a los Wakos. Suficientes para dejarme sin palabras. Cito:
“There is something timeless and proven about the characters – their simplicity, the way they feel to touch and hold, the colors, even their expressions are just so satisfying. Many writers will tell you there’s greater difficulty in nailing the perfect children’s book than there is in writing a great novel, and the same goes for toys and figures – 99% seem to be too gaudy, too obvious, or just poorly made. And then you come across something as wonderful as a Wako, a surprising little character which proves that, while most of the time beauty in simplicity is very rarely achieved, when it is, it is delightful. ”
