        Así soy yo

        Para mirar el mundo desde los ojos de una niña de tres años

        by Pía, Juliana Salcedo

        When we listen to Pia, we witness how a girl (who is about three years old), tries to make sense of the world. Behind the phrases drafted by her mother’s quick trace, there is much more than pure logic, a quirky sentence, or a funny way of saying things. If we listen carefully, we might grasp the way Pia thinks. And we might be able to see how she tries to answer her daily queries. Those that we, adults, might not find important. When we listen to Pia, we participate of the young child’s sensibility, and we can think of how the way we look at the world, and the way we relate to it was constructed.

        Ya sé vestirme sola

        by Elena Odriozola

        A girl gets dressed. First, she puts on her knickers, then, her t-shirt. After that comes her dress and, finally, her shoes. But what is the right way to wear each piece of clothing? The little mischievous girl plays with the reader, inviting their complicity and laughter. The pull-down pages show how she gets it “wrong” at first, before she immediately puts everything where it should be. Page by page, the hangers in the wardrobe are emptied. First, arithmetic notions are introduced. The book will then be read over and over again by early learners. The girl’s expressions and actions will be incorporated in their daily life.

        Ya sé prepararme el desayuno

        by Elena Odriozola

        The sun rises and it is time to have breakfast. But before eating, we have to make it. Apron on, our little cook gets down to work. Bread, butter, jam, milk… Each ingredient goes from cupboard to table. As we open the book’s pages, we observe how skilfully the little girl cooks her succulent recipe step by step. Pre-readers will nonetheless read this book over and over again. It is also an invitation for the little ones to playfully take their first steps in the kitchen and to gain autonomy. You can definitely play with food! Is that not what big chefs of all ages are up to? Using good ingredients, doing things calmly, acquiring new skills and, most of all, enjoying the results. Making breakfast is a daily activity for any child to enjoy. As simple as it seems, it offers complex and valuable learning experiences, ranging from the acquisition of motor activities (such as opening lids, spreading or pouring) to the development of narrative skills (such as sequencing, describing actions, establishing causal relationships). All of these are fundamental to the processes of learning how to read and how to write.
