    Libro : Vivi En El Cerro Mariposa (i Lived On Butterfly...

    -Titulo Original : Vivi En El Cerro Mariposa (i Lived On Butterfly Hill) (the Butterfly Hill Series) -Fabricante : Atheneum Books For Young Readers-Descripcion Original: Now available in Spanish! An eleven-year-old’s world is upended by political turmoil in this “lyrically ambitious tale of exile and reunification” (Kirkus Reviews) from an award-winning poet, based on true events in Chile. Celeste Marconi is a dreamer. She lives peacefully among friends and neighbors and family in the idyllic town of Valparaiso, Chile-until one day when warships are spotted in the harbor and schoolmates start disappearing from class without a word. Celeste doesn’t quite know what is happening, but one thing is clear: no one is safe, not anymore. The country has been taken over by a government that declares artists, protestors, and anyone who helps the needy to be considered “subversive” and dangerous to Chile’s future. So Celeste’s parents-her educated, generous, kind parents-must go into hiding before they, too, “disappear.” Before they do, however, they send Celeste to America to protect her. As Celeste adapts to her new life in Maine, she never stops dreaming of Chile. But even after democracy is restored to her home country, questions remain: Will her parents reemerge from hiding? Will she ever be truly safe again? Accented with interior artwork, steeped in the history of Pinochet’s catastrophic takeover of Chile, and based on many true events, this multicultural ode to the power of revolution, words, and love is both indelibly brave and heart-wrenchingly graceful. About the Author Marjorie Agosin is the Pura Belpre Award-winning author of I Lived on Butterfly Hill and The Maps of Memory. Raised in Chile, her family moved to the United States to escape the horrors of the Pinochet takeover of their country. She has received the Letras de Oro Prize for her poetry, and her writings about-and humanitarian work for-women in Chile have been the focus of feature articles in The New York Times, The Christian Science Monitor, and Ms. magazine. She has also won the Latino Literature Prize for her poetry. She is a Spanish professor at Wellesley College.

    -Titulo Original : I Have Something To Tell You For Young Adults A Memoir-Fabricante : Atheneum Books For Young Readers-Descripcion Original: An instant New York Times bestseller! The young adult adaptation of the hopeful and refreshingly candid bestselling memoir by the husband of a former Democratic presidential candidate about growing up gay in his small Midwestern town. Completely rewritten with new stories, including resources for readers, parents, and teachers. Growing up, Chasten Glezman Buttigieg didn’t always fit in. He felt different from his father and brothers, who loved to hunt and go camping, and out of place in the rural, conservative small town where he lived. Back then, blending in was more important than feeling seen. So, when Chasten realized he was gay, he kept that part of himself hidden away for a long, painful time. With incredible bravery, and the support of his loved ones, Chasten eventually came out-and when he did, he learned that being true to himself was the most rewarding journey of all. Finding acceptance and self-love can seem like a tremendous challenge, but it’s never impossible. With honesty, courage, and warmth, Chasten relays his experience of growing up in America and embracing his identity, while inspiring young people across the country to do the same...

    Book : Roberto Clemente Pride Of The Pittsburgh Pirates -...

    -Titulo Original : Roberto Clemente Pride Of The Pittsburgh Pirates-Fabricante : Atheneum Books For Young Readers-Descripcion Original: A moving, exquisitely illustrated picture book biography of Roberto Clemente, legendary Latino baseball player, pioneer, and humanitarian. On an island called Puerto Rico, there lived a little boy who wanted only to play baseball. Although he had no money, Roberto Clemente practiced and practiced until-eventually-he made it to the Major Leagues. As a right-fielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates, he fought tough opponents-and even tougher racism-but with his unreal catches and swift feet, he earned his nickname, The Great One. He led the Pirates to two World Series, hit three-thousand hits, and was the first Latino to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. But it wasnt just baseball that made Clemente legendary-he was was also a humanitarian dedicated to improving the lives of others. From School Library Journal Grade 2-4-This noteworthy picture-book biography celebrates the Hall of Famers accomplishments, along with the character and courage that have made him a role model to so many fans. A boy describes how his father, uncle, and mother are all inspired by Clemente and what it is they admire: his record-breaking career, his rise from poverty to baseball stardom, his courage in the face of racism. Mami notes that he proved he was a good son and father by interrupting a post-World Series interview, conducted in English, to speak directly in Spanish to his family in Puerto Rico. The narrator observes that he will choose Clemente for hero day at school, since he knows the stats, facts, and I can tell you todo, everything. Perdomos joyful prose, a catchy mix of Spanish and English, captures the awe and warm affection fans feel toward the player: Clemente! Clemente!/Its us, tu gente!/Clemente! Clemente!/Prince of the baseball diamante! Borders and text fonts suggest the athletes mythic status, while Colliers watercolor and collage illustrations teem with detail and vibrancy. One detail, an airplane, shows up repeatedly, presaging Clementes tragic death while bringing aid to earthquake victims in Nicaragua. Collier uses layered images to suggest the mans athletic grace and prowess, and his artful compositions place his subject squarely in the center of things. Like Jonah Winters Roberto Clemente: Pride of the Pittsburgh Pirates (S & S, 2005), this winning tribute to a great humanitarian athlete will resonate with a wide audience.-Marilyn Taniguchi, Beverly Hills Public Library, CA (c) Copyright 2010.

    Book : Ida, Always - Levis, Caron

    -Titulo Original : Ida, Always-Fabricante : Atheneum Books For Young Readers-Descripcion Original: A beautiful, honest portrait of loss and deep friendship told through the story of two iconic polar bears. Gus lives in a big park in the middle of an even bigger city, and he spends his days with Ida. Ida is right there. Always. Then one sad day, Gus learns that Ida is very sick, and she isn’t going to get better. The friends help each other face the difficult news with whispers, sniffles, cuddles, and even laughs. Slowly Gus realizes that even after Ida is gone, she will still be with him-through the sounds of their city, and the memories that live in their favorite spots. Ida, Always is an exquisitely told story of two best friends-inspired by a real bear friendship-and a gentle, moving, needed reminder that loved ones lost will stay in our hearts, always. Review “Inspired by two real-life polar bears, Gus and Ida, who were residents of New York City’s Central Park Zoo, this wonderful story about the loss of a loved one is beautifully told. It’s an example of children’s books at their best. Santoso’s dense, luscious paintings give the couple a solid, reassuring world to live in…. This is a difficult story to tell for both children and adults, but “Ida, Always” does it with simplicity and grace.” -- Dan Yaccarino The New York Times Book Review, February 12, 2016 A Bank Street College of Education Best Children’s Book of the Year (5-8 category) “I am in awe of this wise, endearing, tender and beautiful-so very beautiful-book, which is sure to become a classic of childrens literature…. The words and the pictures meld perfectly to explore the emotional journey of love and loss, breaking your heart and then beginning to mend it.” -- Judith Viorst, author of the bestselling Alexander books and The Tenth Good Thing About Barney *STARRED REVIEW* Inspired by two polar bears that lived in New York City’s Central Park Zoo several years ago, Levis (Stuck with the Blooz) takes readers on a reassuring emotional journey that explores friendship, love, and loss.... Levis’s characterization of caring, supportive friends is spot on.... The description of Ida’s passing is brief, poignant, and gentle, as is Gus’s adjustment to life without his best friend. Santoso (I Don’t Like Koala) creates gauzy backgrounds featuring the city skyline and the zoo’s greenery, and his slightly anthropomorphic bears convey a wealth of feeling through their expressive eyes, smiles, and body language. Publishers Weekly, November 2015, *STARRED REVIEW* *STARRED REVIEW* Loosely based on Gus and Ida, the polar bears who lived at the Central Park Zoo until Ida’s death in 2011 and Gus’s death in 2013, this frank yet sensitive work explores loss and affirms the power of friendship.... While the tone is gentle, Levis is honest about the turmoil and anguish of terminal illness.... The quiet, lyrical text is complemented by the soft, evocative visuals.... Santoso’s design is particularly inspired, with good use of the gutter and perspective.... Although Gus experiences real loss upon Ida’s death, the book ends on a hopeful note, emphasizing the strength of the friendship and Gus’s memories of Ida. VERDICT A tender and honest portrayal of coming to terms with death. School Library Journal, January 2016, *STARRED REVIEW* *STARRED REVIEW* In an honest and upfront manner, [Caron Levis] gracefully reflects the complicated emotions of not only dealing with loss afterward, but living with the dying. In Leviss soothing narrative, Ida will always be with Gus, because, as Ida told him,You dont have to see it to feel it. The polar bears are sweetly and expressively drawn, and the sky, clouds, shadows, sunshine and rain in Australian illustrator Charles Santosos (I Dont Like Koala) softly luminous digital paintings all beautifully mirror the storys joy and sadness. Shelf Awareness, February 2016, *STARRED REVIEW* “Ida, Always…stands out as that exceptional issue book that expands the audience into the realm of being a book everyo...

    Book : Click, Clack, Moo Cows That Type - Doreen Cronin

    -Titulo Original : Click, Clack, Moo Cows That Type-Fabricante : Atheneum Books For Young Readers-Descripcion Original: The quirky, hilarious farmyard tale that started it all from New York Times bestselling duo of Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin! Now the inspiration for a new Christmas special, CLICK, CLACK, MOO: Christmas on the Farm. Farmer Brown has a problem. His cows like to type. All day long he hears Click, clack, MOO. Click, clack, MOO. Clickety, clack, MOO. But Farmer Browns problems REALLY begin when his cows start leaving him notes.... Doreen Cronins understated text and Betsy Lewins expressive illustrations make the most of this hilarious situation. Come join the fun as a bunch of literate cows turn Farmer Browns farm upside down. Review The literacy rate in Farmer Browns barn goes up considerably once his cows find an old typewriter and begin typing. To the harassed farmers dismay, his communicative cows quickly become contentious: Dear Farmer Brown, The barn is very cold at night. Wed like some electric blankets. Sincerely, The Cows When he refuses to comply with their demands, the cows take action. Farmer Brown finds another note on the barn door: Sorry. Were closed. No milk today. Soon the striking cows and Farmer Brown are forced to reach a mutually agreeable compromise, with the help of an impartial party--the duck. But this poor, beleaguered farmers atypical troubles are not over yet! This hilarious tale will give young rebels-in-the-making a taste of the power of peaceful protest and the satisfaction of cooperative give and take. Witty watercolors by award-winning illustrator Betsy Lewin (Snake Alley Band, Aramintas Paint Box) will make this a favorite for one and all, even if words such as ultimatum and neutral throw the younger set. (Ages 5 to 8) --Emilie Coulter From Publishers Weekly Plucky barnyard denizens unite to improve their working conditions in this hilarious debut picture book from Cronin (appropriately enough, an attorney). Farmer Brown is dumbfounded when his cows discover an old typewriter in the barn and begin experimenting (All day long he hears click, clack, moo. Click, clack, moo. Clickety clack moo). Things really get out of hand when the cows began airing their grievances. Lewin (Aramintas Paint Box) conveys the fellows shock as he reads: Dear Farmer Brown, The barn is very cold at night. Wed like some electric blankets. Sincerely, The Cows. When Farmer Brown denies the cows request, the bovine organizers go on strike. Through the use of the mans shadow, Lewin communicates his rage: the straw in his hat creates the appearance of his hair on end. With help from a neutral duck mediator, the exasperated Farmer Brown finally makes concessions. But, much to his dismay, the cows are not the only creatures that can type. Cronin humorously turns the tables on conventional barnyard dynamics; Lewins bold, loose-lined watercolors set a light and easygoing mood that matches Farmer Browns very funny predicament. Kids and underdogs everywhere will cheer for the clever critters that calmly and politely stand up for their rights, while their human caretaker becomes more and more unglued. Ages 3-7. (Feb.) Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Booklist Lewins wild line-and-watercolor cartoons are perfectly suited to this barnyard farce about animals that go on strike to demand better working conditions. The cows find an old typewriter in the barn, and to the farmers fury, they type messages to him: Dear Farmer Brown. The barn is very cold at night. Wed like some electric blankets. Sincerely, The Cows. When he refuses their request, they put up a notice: Sorry. Were closed. No milk today. The hens are cold, too, so they join the cows--no eggs, either. There are ultimatums, emergency meetings, and a hilarious surprise ending. Todays preschoolers may have to be told about antique clackety typewriters, but theyll love the slapstick of the domesticated animals who get the farmer to toe the line. The thickly outlined pictures extend the...
