2. El Día en Que Descubres Quién Eres/ The Day You Begin

By Jacqueline Woodson (Author), López, Rafael (Illustrator), Teresa Mlawer (Translator)

Hay muchas razones por las que uno se puede sentir diferente. Quizá sea por tu apariencia o por la forma en que hablas o de dónde vienes. A lo mejor es por lo que comes o por algún motivo similar. Sea cual sea la razón, no es fácil dar ese paso de entrar a un lugar donde no conoces a nadie; pero de alguna forma lo haces.

El lírico texto de Jacqueline Woodson y el deslumbrante arte de Rafael López se combinan para celebrar el valor que se requiere para hacernos un lugar en un mundo diferente al nuestro. Y nos mueven a pensar en que si damos el paso y compartimos nuestra historia, es casi seguro que otros se interesen por conocernos mejor.


There are many reasons why one might feel different. Maybe it's because of your appearance or the way you talk or where you come from. Maybe it's because of what you eat or for some similar reason. Whatever the reason, it is not easy to take that step of entering a place where you do not know anyone; But somehow you do.

Jacqueline Woodson's lyrical text and Rafael López's dazzling art combine to celebrate the courage it takes to make a place for ourselves in a world different from our own. And they make us think that if we take the step and share our story, it is almost certain that others will be interested in getting to know us better.

13. Veo Veo/ I See, I See

By: Antonio Rubio (Author), Villán, Óscar (Illustrator)

La colección De la cuna a la luna incorpora dos nuevos títulos para seguir “educando el ojo y endulzando el oído” a los prelectores de 0 a 3 años: pictogramas poéticos o poegramas basados en la rima y en la representación gráfica de los elementos que cita el texto. “Veo veo” es un poema pictográfico que se apoya en la suma de objetos a partir de la estructura dialogada del viejo juego homónimo de acertijos. En este juego musical -donde destaca el gusto por lo absurdo y el disparate- se van enumerando y sumando elementos heterogéneos traídos por la fuerza de la rima.


The From the Cradle to the Moon collection incorporates two new titles to continue "educating the eye and sweetening the ear" for pre-readers from 0 to 3 years old: poetic pictograms or poems based on rhyme and the graphic representation of the elements it cites the text. “I see I see” is a pictographic poem that is based on the sum of objects from the dialogue structure of the old homonymous game of riddles. In this musical game - where the taste for the absurd and nonsense stands out - heterogeneous elements brought by the force of rhyme are enumerated and added.


14. Cocodrilo Va al Dentista/ Crocodile Goes to the Dentist

By: Gomi Taro (Author)

A veces, hay cosas que no nos gusta nada hacer. Pero debemos hacerlas. Cuando un cocodrilo con una caries debe visitar al dentista, ambos intuyen, cada uno por sus propias razones, que no será una visita ni placentera ni sencilla. Y aunque ambos piensan lo mismo, tienen que pasar por un largo y doloroso encuentro que le enseñará al cocodrilo que, cuando se puede, hay que evitar las visitas que no queremos hacer. Así, el célebre ilustrador japonés construye una historia que sirve para que padres e hijos conversen sobre la importancia de tener buenos hábitos dentales.


Sometimes, there are things that we don't like doing at all. But we must do them. When a crocodile with a cavity has to visit the dentist, they both sense, each for his own reasons, that it will not be a pleasant or easy visit. And although they both think the same, they have to go through a long and painful encounter that will teach the crocodile that, when possible, we must avoid visits we don't want to make. Thus, the famous Japanese illustrator builds a story that allows parents and children to talk about the importance of having good dental habits.


15. Animales/ Animals

By: Antonio Rubio

«Animales» reúne una amistosa y heterogénea sucesión de fauna silvestre y salvaje. «Frutas» contiene una selección de sabrosos alimentos procedentes de sus respectivos árboles. Son los nuevos títulos de la colección De la cuna a la luna. Sus destinatarios son niñas y niños de 0 a 3 años, para quienes se han diseñado especialmente estos pictogramas poéticos o poegramas; un término acuñado para designar una modalidad de poesía pictográfica basada en la búsqueda de un ritmo de lectura que ayude a “educar el ojo y endulzar el oído” del pequeño lector, como explica su autor, Antonio Rubio.


"Animals" brings together a friendly and heterogeneous succession of wild and wild fauna. "Fruits" contains a selection of tasty foods from their respective trees. These are the new titles in the From the Cradle to the Moon collection. Its recipients are girls and boys from 0 to 3 years old, for whom these poetic pictograms or poems have been specially designed; a term coined to designate a form of pictographic poetry based on the search for a reading rhythm that helps "educate the eye and sweeten the ear" of the young reader, as its author, Antonio Rubio, explains.
