Good books are like meek animals that stretch when we caress their backs, and that show us their bellies so we go and play with them; but they also do not hesitate to give us a good bite to free us from the claws of routine. To create these noble creatures, in Cataplum we dig like moles through the collective memory and explore the roots that connect us as Latin-Americans; thus, we recover our oral tradition, our playful language and its diverse and endless possibilities. As truffle-seeking pigs, we have developed an acute nose to find texts of authors from past and actual times. As rabbits we jump here and there tracking down illustrators with new proposals. And as eagles we strive to see, from a distance, how image and texts can coexist in harmony. In sum, our catalogue has been conceived as a living creature; one that begun as something very little, like bear cubs, but capable of becoming a fabulous living being; one that combines the best qualities of noble animals and have the power to captivate us.

“Hello! What do we do, how is your life? How long, eh? I was already looking forward to telling you more stories. I've grown up and I've noticed that a lot of people around me think I'm just one girl who smells tenderness whom they must protect. And that has to end. I would like to be able to do half the things you do that you don’t even realize. Since you are privileged, I only ask for a little effort: I am also one person. When you talk to me, look me in the eyes”.

Booktrailer This story comes from The Book of Emma Reyes: A Memoir in Correspondence, by Colombian painter Emma Reyes. The story, told through the eyes of Emma Reyes, goes back to the day when she, with the help of her friend "el Piojo" and other streetchildren, created General Rebollo with their own hands. The writer thus reveals one of her most distant memories, when she was an orphaned child amid the misery of Bogotá in the 1920s, but she does so with words that convey the sparkle and naivety of a childhood game. It is a moving album, in which Carme Solé Vendrell's spontaneous strokes andtechnical richness enhance the expressiveness of such a collective personage: childhood at its most vulnerable.
About Us: A series about the evolution of life on Earth and Human evolution to understand better who we are. Further to The Human Body Inside & Out success, Cristina Junyent & Cristina Losantos present another pair of titles to explain how we are all related and how we are all different. What is the origin of the Universe, the solar system, the Earth and the Moon? How does life seem to have started? And how did it come to have such diverse forms? You will discover how mammals and primates first appeared on Earth. Thanks to tools and fire, the first humans came to populate the entire planet. What path did they follow to reach the different continents? When did it happen? We will see how it can be that humans, despite being apparently so different, have a common origin. Why does the distance to the Sun allow life to exist on Earth? How is it that light and rain determine the different regions of our planet? How have humans adapted to each environment? We all look different depending on where our ancestors were born. And thanks to the fact that they learned to use the different resources in each place, we have come this far! Human skill has allowed us to change our environment and make machines to do the most arduous tasks. https://youtu.be/EmO9FhmWrdA?list=PLby9rHEno2AH_wG7DRVFnnHIq8XN7gsdJ
Minicia is almost 25 years old when she suffers the contempt of her father, Lucio Minicio Natal Quadronio Vero, governor of proconsular Africa (152-154 A.D.) and winner of the Olympic Quadriga’s race of the year 129 A.D. The reason for his rejection: Minicia had been the secret lover of Theseus when she was very young, before Theseus died competing, precisely, against her father in a quadriga’s race. The noble Minicio cannot consent this and even less that his daughter has had a son with the man he hates, the slave of Dacian origin who mortified and marked his life since they were children. Puzzled by the news, since Minicia thought she had gotten rid of the baby (she didn’t know anything about her lover’s authentic identity and when she finds out she can’t stand the idea of having a son of the man who betrayed her), she will have to undertake a long search to find who is responsible for ensuring the lineage of Theseus and fulfill his revenge that affects not only her, but the entire empire.
«This is the story of a knight who...» «Oh no! It's time to put an end to the knights who save the princesses! It's a cliché, and sexist over more! The princesses are capable of saving themselves»«Okay, okay, so this is the story of a knight who goes to slay an evil dragon» «Why evil? That's a bit of a cliché too, isn't it?». Our narrator has a very conscious and demanding young reader: she won't accept clichés in this story. No princesses in danger, dragons, and evil witches. And not even violence and alcohol: they are not good for the little readers. But the beautiful stories, from what world it is, are full of clichés and politically incorrect elements... and if you want to take them all away, you get some rather odd results.Perhaps that a cliché is not the end of the world?
La prevención y gestión de los conflictos cotidianos es fácil cuando se dispone de herramientas para el desarrollo de unas relaciones interpersonales seguras y saludables. Las prácticas restaurativas (PR) funcionan porque implican a todas las personas por igual en el mantenimiento del bienestar emocional individual y colectivo. Los Círculos de la palabra consiguen que cada persona se sepa y se sienta apreciada, necesaria, capaz y responsable de contribuir al logro de los objetivos comunes. Se celebran Círculos restaurativos con personas de cualquier edad, desde niños y niñas de tres años hasta adultos e, incluso, se pueden convocar círculos mixtos porque su estructura sigue un ritual bien marcado que genera confianza y seguridad a la hora de conectar unas personas con otras. Además, mediante el uso del guion restaurativo, basado en cinco o seis preguntas, se gestionan los conflictos de manera novedosa, ya que no se busca la sanción sino la reparación del daño producido con el acompañamiento de la comunidad. Esta visión humanizadora de la gestión de los conflictos es muy efectiva porque se ocupa de apoyar a la persona ofendida, de readmitir a la persona ofensora y de fortalecer al grupo. En el libro se desarrollan 20 Círculos, paso a paso, proporcionando ideas, estrategias, actividades e instrumentos que permiten comprender las prácticas restaurativas en profundidad y aplicarlas con seguridad. Finalmente, en el capítulo dedicado a la asamblea en el aula se avanza hacia el cultivo efectivo de la democracia y la paz como vía para alcanzar mayor justicia social.
Peace is an idea, an abstract concept, which must be grounded in concrete realities. And building peace involves moving from an initial state, which may or may not be conflict, to a second moment in which people have learned to know, relate, meet, and live together. This book tries to elaborate on the construction of peace from an educational process, in which individuals learn to recognize themselves as subjects of equal dignity and with the capacity to carry out projects oriented to the common good. Similarly, educational settings, the so-called learning environments, are not confined exclusively to the walls of the classroom or the boundaries of formal education institutions: peace education occurs in any environment in which two or more coincide. people with potential conflicts of interest or collective construction.
