        Saving Little Red Riding Hood

        by Claudine Bernardes, Graziela Eskelsen and Ana Barbosa

        The Fearsome Wolf lives hidden among us.Would you like to help Little Red Riding Hood?   This book tells the simple yet profound story of a girl facing a problem and ultimately finding the support she needs to overcome it. The authors skillfully use the timeless archetype of the big bad wolf, employing a classic narrative structure woven from real phrases spoken by children the authors have assisted. It refrains from offering explicit instructions or moral lessons, and you won't find the term "sexual abuse" explicitly mentioned in its pages.    This story serves as a powerful tool to shed light on a critical issue and, more importantly, to encourage those who may have experienced similar situations to share their stories and seek help. Every child has the fundamental right to grow up in an environment characterized by respect, where their innocence is preserved.   This fairy tale goes to the heart of so many wounded and silenced girls and boys, it encourages them to speak: it is time to tell their stories, to look for those who will listen to them.    It reminds us that hope accompanies us even in the worst moments, bringing a ray of light to that dark forest; It shows us that there is a path to finish that pain and towards freedom.   This illustrated album addresses, in a symbolic way, violence, mistreatment and children sexual abuse.    According to the World Health Organization (WHO), one in five girls and one in thirteen boys are sexually abused before the age of 17. Sexual abuse, especially inflicted during childhood, condition the future mental, sexual and physical health of a person; in many cases, they remain secret even in adulthood.

        El sombrero que voló

        by José Carlos Román / Mónica Carretero

        La señora Filomena sale de paseo, con la ropa de domingo y un sombrero nuevo que todo el mundo admira.

Así comienza el viaje de este sombrero elegante y volátil, que en su camino conoce a una familia de ratones que se convierte en hogar el interior de la copa: abajo, pone la cocina y el salón; arriba, una camita, con su mullido colchón. Pero el viento sopla de nuevo, y la bonita chistera se marcha ... ¡aún más lejos! ¿A qué otros personajes conocerá en su gracioso vaivén? Galería de fotos / Primeras páginas / Más información

        Y de repente se fue la luz... de la luna

        by Xavier Frías Conde / Laufer

        En el reino mágico de Lendataria crece la desesperación. La luna ya no brilla: su luz se ha apagado y nadie sabe bien por qué. «Un momento, debemos resolverlo», se dice el consejero Amuleto, que visita al rey y le pide ofrecer una recompensa a quien resuelva el entuerto. «¡Que alguien encienda una vela!, ¡Que alguien prenda la antorcha! Que vengan un mago o dos o ciento »:  Por orden del rey Migajo III, se hace saber que quien le devuelva el brillo a la luna no perderá la cabeza será gratificado con cien monedas de oro y tres mil de chocolate  –entre otros premios. En este cuento no hay príncipes azules ni nobles caballeros entregados a su reino, oa una dama pobremente dibujada –hecha de tópicos entrelazados–, sino que… podría ser una heroína desconocida quien… encontrase la solución o… alumbrase el misterio.

        Páginas del diario de Simón

        by Vicente García Oliva / Inés Sánchez Nadal

        Simón por fin tiene un diario, pero uno de verdad, de esos con tapas duras y un candado que amarra secretos como si fueran de oro. Así, Simón vedará sus experiencias a su hermano Julián, algo cotilla. Julián no podrá leer la historia de amistad entre Simón y Héctor, un niño con autismo recién llegado a clase. Tampoco cómo lo recibe Simón: sin prejuicios, con naturalidad. Ni que Héctor no siempre logra hacerse entender, y menos con otros alumnos. El fisgón de Julián también se quedará sin saber que Simón defiende a su compañero de pupitre siempre que sea necesario. Estas páginas son una aproximación al autismo desde el cariño y el desenfado.

        Miedo

        by Milio'l del Nido / Alberto Sastre

        Dos hermanos se trasladan a una casona antigua y misteriosa junto a un faro, ya que su padre comienza allí un nuevo trabajo. Todo parecía muy aburrido pero ... unos ruidos y figuras extrañas les harán pasar momentos espeluznantes. Un divertido cuento de suspenso y acción que te enganchará hasta el final. "Quizá sean los miedos una de las cosas que más marcan las pesadillas de los pequeños durante la niñez, y cada uno tiene los miedos que tiene, hay de todas las clases: al mar, a las alturas, a la soledad, a la oscuridad ... Algunas veces pasan los años y, aunque ya no eres un niño, el miedo sigue ahí, al acecho, esperándote detrás de una puerta cerrada o en el recodo de un camino entre los árboles, y tienes que enfrentarte a él para poder seguir adelante. Es en ese momento, cuando vas a enfrentarte, cuando sientes un  respigo,  y ese  respigo,  ese, igual es la cosa más agradable de todo el asunto. Solo por el  respigo,  merece la pena pasar miedo ".
