Collection: Children

El primer libro ilustrado del artista español que hay detrás de las portadas icónicas de la arrolladora saga Blackwater.

Venerado por generaciones de lectores --pequeños y grandes-- en todo el mundo, El principito es un clásico inagotable que logra conmovernos en cada lectura.

La historia de Saint-Exupéry narra el encuentro, en la soledad del desierto del Sáhara, entre un aviador que ha sufrido una avería y un niño que se acerca a él para pedirle el dibujo de un cordero. Este hombrecito de cabellos dorados, que ha viajado por varios planetas antes de recalar en la Tierra, es muy sabio en su inocencia. Su capacidad para el asombro y su arrojo en las preguntas constituyen el origen de las poderosas reflexiones sobre la vida que atesoran estas páginas.

Puede que el piloto que nos cuenta la historia no consiguiera desarrollar su talento artístico, pero sin duda sí lo ha hecho Pedro Oyarbide, que ha reinterpretado con inigualable maestría uno de los libros más entrañables de la literatura universal. Sus ilustraciones, vibrantes y detalladas, nos ofrecen la extraordinaria oportunidad de asomarnos a El principito como si fuera la primera vez.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The first illustrated book by the Spanish artist behind the iconic covers of the sweeping Blackwater saga.

Venerated by generations of readers --young and old-- around the world, The Little Prince is an inexhaustible classic that moves us with every reading.

Saint-Exupéry's story recounts the encounter, in the solitude of the Sahara Desert, between an aviator who has suffered a breakdown and a boy who approaches him to ask for a drawing of a sheep. This little golden-haired boy, who has traveled to several planets before arriving on Earth, is very wise in his innocence. His capacity for wonder and his boldness in asking questions are the source of the powerful reflections on life contained in these pages.

The pilot who tells us the story may not have been able to develop his artistic talent, but Pedro Oyarbide certainly has: he has reinterpreted with unmatched mastery one of the most beloved books in world literature. His vibrant, detailed illustrations offer us the extraordinary opportunity to approach The Little Prince as if for the first time.

Masculinity can have many different meanings - if only we allow the space for a multitude of expressions to coexist.

This is a kids' book about masculinity. What comes to mind when you think of "masculinity"? Certain ways to act? Talk? Just simply be?

This book was made to help kids aged 5-9 understand the many facets of masculinity. We believe masculinity is a story which can and should be told in more than one way. Masculinity is not something which is done either "right" or "wrong" - it's a unique and individual choice. When we get to write our own stories, the world is a much fuller, more beautiful place.

A Kids Book About Masculinity features:

• A large and bold, yet minimalist font design that allows kids freedom to imagine themselves in the words on the pages.
• A friendly, approachable, empowering, and child-appropriate tone throughout.
• An incredible and diverse group of authors in the series who are experts or have first-hand experience of the topic.

A richly illustrated nonfiction picture book celebrating how scientists and activists can work together to create change and protect wildlife, making the world safer for creatures both big and small.

How do you save a species? Start at the edges of the food chain.

In the 1950s, the brown pelican went from thriving to barely surviving. The culprit was DDT: a harmful pesticide that seeped into soil, spread in the water, festered in small fish, and ultimately caused the pelican population to plummet. Scientists sounded the alarm, but faced pushback from farmers who relied on DDT to control pesky pests.

It required many voices joining together, demanding change, before the government took action. Thanks to these efforts, we now have the EPA and the Endangered Species Act, which continue to protect wildlife threatened by climate change.

This thrilling and inspirational nonfiction picture book introduces young readers to bioaccumulation, endangered species, and one of the biggest grassroots movements of our time. It connects the success of the pelican's regrowth with conservation efforts in place today, such as pollinator gardens, wildlife corridors, and much more.

Sweeping illustrations depict the brown pelican's journey from near extinction to a robust, populous species. Back matter includes more details on the EPA, a glossary, and an index.

The middle grade debut by New York Times bestselling co-author of Between the Lines! Thirteen year old Ava helps run her family's refuge for extraterrestrials. But then a sudden disaster exposes a government conspiracy that upends everything she believed to be true.

When meteors suddenly dropped to Earth -- containing eggs with extraterrestrial babies inside -- the government called in the experts. Ava's parents hatched, cared for, raised, and researched these unique beings -- and Ava was part of the team. So many extraterrestrial living beings (ELBs) arrived that the government funded a Zoo for visitors to see them up close. It was a huge success in its day.

But now Ava is 13, and so much has changed. A terrible car accident claimed her mother. Her father, in deep despair, left Ava and the Zoo in the care of his brother, who's healing from his own emotional wounds. Then the alien babies stopped coming, and so did the public.

So when fifteen year old Harley shows up as an intern for the Zoo, Ava feels blindsided. This is her show!

And then a terrible storm changes everything. Now the once-beloved ELBs are loose in the world, and being hunted. Ava's uncle is MIA. And all she has is this strange new boy to help her save everything she loves.

In this new adventure, Scout Moore--"the ranger of her own backyard"--travels to Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado.
