        Little Green Seed

        by Paulina Jara, Gabriela Germain

        Little green seed tells the story of a seed that is carried by the wind from the forest to the city, where it falls right into the crack of a street. The crack is repaired and the seed is trapped there. But the impetus of life propels her and she begins to grow underground, imprisoned but supported by insects like pill bugs, worms and spiders that push her so that she can cross the asphalt and touch the sky with its small new leaves. The texts in this book are rhymed, which gives an exquisite musicality to reading, with a deep poetic sense that accounts for the love of nature, trees and the cycle of life. Illustrations bring light and meaning of their own, also complementing the expressions of this little seed that begins to grow in front of our eyes. We see in his gaze the desperation to go out into the world, the overwhelmed feeling of being trapped, and also the happiness and joy of knowing in company.

        Stories

        by Danielle McLaughlin / Ca_teter

        Los relatos que componen este libro poseen esa particular forma de impureza de la que puede surgir la comprensión hacia los otros: ninguno de los personajes maltrechos que habitan estas once historias tiene toda la razón o está totalmente equivocado; ninguna bondad es total aquí, ninguna mezquindad es absoluta. El talento de McLaughlin para hacer surgir los detalles que expresan la ambigua complejidad de la conducta humana convierte estos relatos en poderosas piezas literarias de singular lucidez. «La escritura de McLaughlin es tan atrapante y visual que el lector se mete de lleno en la historia desde el primer párrafo.» Sophie Gorman, Irish Independent «Este libro no es un debut en el sentido usual, es decir, una promesa de grandes cosas por venir. No es necesario preguntar qué hará Danielle McLaughlin luego: ya lo ha hecho. Este libro llegó para quedarse con nosotros por mucho tiempo.» Anne Enright
