12 poemas de Federico García Lorca
Federico García Lorca
Ilustraciones de Gabriel PachecoSevilla: Kalandraka Ediciones Andalucía, 2014PoetryFor those who took off as readers
ISBN: 978-84-92608-83-6
Marvelous entrance door - or re-entry - to the lyrical universe of the Spanish writer Federico García Lorca. This selection, made by Antonio Rubio and Manuela Rodríguez, includes texts that, because of their diaphanous character, their musicality and their links to popular poetry, have a great potential to captivate children and young readers. The illustrations explore, with great beauty and sensitivity, the dream and symbolic side of Lorca's poetry, creating a magical environment in which characters, settings and tonalities amplify the resonances of the verses.

Al sur de la Alameda. Diario de una toma
Lola Larra
Ilustraciones de Vicente ReinamontesSantiago de Chile: Ekaré Sur, 2014NovelFor those who became great readers
ISBN: 978-956-8868-13-0
Illustrated novel that recreates the days of the so-called "Revolution of the Penguins", which took place in Chile in 2006, when many students took to the streets or occupied their schools to protest against the educational system of their country. The book covers a week of the life of a group of young people through two narrative plans: a verbal one - the diary of Nicolás, one of the students who participates in the taking of a school - and the other graphic - in which we are Witnesses to the outward gaze of someone spying on the characters. With a novel theme, the work relates the process of maturation and social awareness of the protagonists.

ISBN: 978-607-16-2131-3
Excellent book to promote an enriching encounter of children with high artistic poetry. Original compositions, with a wealth of intentions and meanings, that travel through varied expressive registers: from the humorous and the playful to the intimate and the reflective. Animals, landscapes and questions, for which everyone must find their own answers, come together in this exquisite verbal game of images and sonorities. The illustrations, candid and lavish in color, have effective communicative bridges towards the verses.

Texto de Didi Grau
Ilustraciones de Christian MontenegroColección Panzada de letrasBuenos Aires: Pequeño Editor, 2014PoetryFor the little ones who cant read
ISBN: 978-987-1374-49-6
From the onomatopoeic sound that gives it title, each element exudes simplicity and freshness in this charming proposal for the smallest children. Verses that appeal, without searches, to a direct and affective communication, are accompanied by monotypes that propose enriching figurations. This attractive book for the first ages, naive and fun, with a great balance between verbal and graphic, reminds us that often, when good art is concerned, "less can be more."

ISBN: 978-987-545-614-3
One day, Cu Kangaroo takes a big surprise: when, tired of playing and jumping, tries to get into his mom's bag, he realizes that this has been occupied by a kangaroo very similar to him, but smaller. The discovery does not please the protagonist of this story ... Refreshing approach to the eternal conflict that generates the arrival of a new member to the family. The text accurately recreates the thinking and behavior of the children of the early ages when they cease to be unique children, and the illustrations, made with colored pencils, enrich the proposal by providing with its lines naivete and delicious details to the plot.
