¡Cinco en la tienda! Una excursión de camping con Maisy se vuelve una comedia de errores en este simpatiquísimo libro de aventuras ilustrado.

Five in the tent! A camping trip with Maisy turns into a slapstick comedy of errors in this hilarious picture-book adventure.

Cuando Maisy se va de camping en el campo, es natural que todos sus amiguitos también la acompañen. Pero pronto descubren que armar una tienda de campaña no es nada fácil. Aunque logran mantenerla montada, el reto es que todos quepan dentro -- Maisy, Charley, Cyril, Tallulah y, al final, Eddie, un elefante enorme. ¡A apretujarse todos! ¡Buenas noches, campistas! Oh, oh, ¿qué fue ese ruido?

When Maisy sets off to go camping in the country, it's only natural that all her friends come along, too. But they soon find that pitching a tent is not an easy thing to do. Even if they do manage to keep the tent up, there's the matter of fitting them all in -- Maisy, Charley, Cyril, Tallulah, and finally, the huge elephant, Eddie. What a squeezy squish-squash! Good night, campers! Uh-oh-what's that popping sound?

Hazelnut the squirrel's nest was in a hole in a tree, and she had everything ready for Winter: a warm bed made of leaves, a pantry full of nuts, and hundreds of seeds hidden in secret places all over the forest ...

Winter is just around the corner, and Hazelnut has worked hard to get ready. In her cozy nest high up in a tree, the little squirrel watches the last leaves of the fall flutter past, when suddenly the tree trunk crashes to the ground. Oh no! The beavers have chomped it down! Hazelnut is heartbroken. What will she do now? Luckily, the beavers realize their mistake and quickly offer her their home. The squirrel makes an effort, working hard to carry logs across the river, but soon abandons the idea of spending her days in the water. Later, while searching for a new place to shelter, she meets the bats, who kindly offer her their cave for the winter, but...

The first snowflakes are falling... Will Hazelnut find a comfy home in time?

An exciting adventure through the forest that will invite readers to discover the importance of tolerance and respect for living together, and how generosity and solidarity flourish in the face of adversity.

Ya falta poco para que se instale el invierno y Cascabilla ha trabajado duro para estar preparada. En su apacible nido, en lo alto del árbol, la ardilla ve caer las últimas hojas de otoño cuando, de repente, el tronco cae al suelo. ¡No puede ser! ¡Los castores lo han talado! Cascabilla está desconsolada. ¿Y ahora qué? Por suerte, los castores reconocen su error y rápidamente le ofrecen su hogar. La ardilla hace un esfuerzo, trabaja duro transportando troncos a través del río, pero pronto abandonará la idea de pasar los días en remojo. Más tarde, en la búsqueda de un nuevo lugar donde guarecerse, se encontrará con los murciélagos que, amables, le ofrecerán su cueva para el invierno, pero...

Ya caen los primeros copos... ¿Encontrará Cascabilla un verdadero hogar a tiempo?

Una emocionante aventura a través del bosque que invitará a sus lectores a descubrir la importancia de la tolerancia y el respeto para la convivencia, y cómo en la adversidad, afloran la generosidad y la solidaridad.

Indigenous artist and storyteller Andrea Fritz tells the tale of a Salish woolly dog who goes on an adventure over land and sea to gather natural fibers to keep his human family warm.

Sqwiqwmi' the young Salish woolly dog has a nice warm coat, and he wants to help protect his people from the cold and wet West Coast winters too. He sets out to pick the cozy fluff that grows on the nearby fireweed, but the plants are bare this time of year. Guided by a friendly shrew and a wise eagle, Sqwiqwmi' journeys across the Salish Sea and into high mountains, collecting goat's wool and nettle stalks--and even some of his own fur!--that his family will spin and weave into beautiful, warm blankets.

In this original story set in Coast Salish Traditional Territory, author and artist Andrea Fritz uses Indigenous storytelling techniques and art to share the culture and language of the Hul'q'umi'num'-speaking Peoples.

Enter Mary Gillham, Isobel Bennett, Hope Macpherson and Susan Ingham, four scientists who successfully petitioned to be the first women to join an Australian research expedition to Macquarie Island, a remote subantarctic island with a unique ecosystem.

Marine biologists Isobel and Hope explored the coast, finding chitons, sea stars and Giant kelp. Mary climbed cliffs to observe nesting seabirds like Black-browed albatrosses and White-headed petrels. Susan counted herds of Southern elephant seals and Antarctic fur seals.

When their research trip ended, the scientists returned home with their field notes to find that the media was more focussed on what they wore rather than the research they were there to undertake. Despite this, the scientists left an incredible legacy that led to efforts to remove invasive species from the island--and forged a new path for women in science.

As a young child, Phymean Noun dreamed of learning to read and write. But growing up during the Khmer Rouge reign of terror in Cambodia in the 1970s made that dream impossible.

Formal education was not only forbidden at that time but also could result in a death sentence. When the Khmer Rouge government was eventually overthrown, Phymean was finally able to go to school and fulfill the promise she made to herself as a young girl.

Years later, when Phymean was working in Phnom Penh, she met several unhoused and hungry child laborers who were unable to get an education because they had to work to feed their families. Like Phymean, their greatest dream was to go to school. Phymean knew she had to help. She left a stable job and salary behind to start the People Improvement Organization (PIO) in 2002, an NGO that educated, fed and also housed children in need. Since its founding, PIO has helped 8,000 children accomplish their dream of receiving an education.
