A full-color story that will remind us of the importance of being
present and open to the opportunities life offers.Flying over the
City of Lights, a little robin notices a cheerful, slanted-eyed
girl pedaling fast on her bicycle. Dressed in the colors of a robin
and running nimbly through the streets, she looks like a robin
itself. The seasons go by, and the girl takes refuge in her work
and follows her routine to a tee, sheltered by the comfort and
affection that her cat, Max, gives her. However, an unusual event
will truncate her life, and soon enough, the girl will discover
that she can no longer pedal backward, only forwards. Today is a
gift — it is all we have here and now. The present moment is
where life happens. Being present allows us to pay full attention,
observe, be grateful and open our eyes to all those little things
that happen in our present.

Winner at the 2011 Living Now Book Awards. A touching and sensitive
story for all ages about accepting differences and dealing with the
loss of a loved one.On a spring night, under the light of the full
moon, a little lamb was born. Delia Derito, her mother, decided to
call him Kor Derito. Kor was a very special sheep, and as time
passed, it became more apparent that he was nothing like the other
lambs. While his friends were dressed with white, long wool, the
little one was covered with a small, fluffy cloud. Kor was a white
cloud, sometimes cloudy, sometimes even a stormy one! Without a
doubt, Kor was a very special sheep, and that was why it was more
difficult for him to relate to others. He wasn't cut out for
jumping fences and helping children fall asleep—what he liked the
most was being in nature. But like the clouds, Kor soon realized
that his place was in the sky. Ganador en los Living Now Book
Awards de 2011. Una conmovedora historia para grandes y pequeños
sobre la aceptación de las diferencias y que ayuda a afrontar la
pérdida de un ser querido.En una noche de primavera, bajo la luz
de la luna llena, la oveja Delia Derito dio a luz a su hijo, al que
llamó Kor Derito. Kor era una ovejita muy especial, y a medida que
pasaba el tiempo, más se demostraba que Kor no era como los demás
corderos, con sus cuerpos cubiertos de lana blanca… ¡El pequeño
tenía el cuerpo cubierto de nube! Una nube a veces blanca, a veces
nublada, ¡incluso llena de relámpagos! Sin duda, Kor era una
oveja muy especial, y por eso le costaba más relacionarse con los
demás. Él no estaba hecho para saltar vallas y ayudar a los
niños a conciliar el sueño; lo que a él le gustaba más era
estar en la naturaleza. Pero como las nubes, pronto Kor se dio
cuenta de que su lugar estaba en el cielo.
Violet is a little Kenyan girl who is visited by a winged giraffe
during one particularly hunger-filled night. Wanting to cheer up a
hungry and dejected Violet, the giraffe takes the little girl on a
flight around her country of Kenya, as well as around the entire
African continent. During their journey, Violet is able to see the
beauty of her land from a new perspective, but still worries for
herself and for her people. She is soon reassured by the giraffe,
however, who tells her that help will come if she and her people
appeal to the compassion of others from around the world, as well
as if they are able to spread laughter among each other.

compasion de otras personas alrededor del mundo, ademas de si son
capaces de propagar la risa entre ellos mismos."
