This poetic tribute to fathers and mothers follows the journey of
one family through the ups and downs of life over many years. A
pleasantly colorful celebration of family love. Parents love us,
protect us, teach us, help us, and offer a secure, comfortable
shelter for us to feel protected. Their love is beyond measure,
they are willing to do anything to make us happy. But us children
also feel the same way. We can surely perceive when our father
feels blue or sense the fatigue our mother tries to hide. If only
we could make your worries vanish for good... We would do anything
for you. We would eat all the vegetables, without grumbling. We
would face up to all our fears. We would magically solve all of
your problems. Time may pass, but you are always there to catch us
when we fall, and we will make sure to be there to hold you when
you are down.
One spring day, Hannah goes for a walk with her dog Pippin. Along
the way, the little girl comes across people who act strangely…
Are they under a magical spell?Hannah loves taking her dog, Pippin,
for a walk and ambling around the city. Everything is so beautiful
in spring! Insects buzz busily through the air, and the sun shines
brightly. However, Hannah notices that something is not right;
something is going on in the city. Why is her neighbor Carol so
distracted and greets her without even looking into her eyes? And
those children sitting on that park bench, why don't they talk to
each other or play…? Pippin and Hannah, curious, continue walking
through the city trying to solve the mystery. They all seem to have
something on their hands that takes them away from reality!
Determined to show others what they are missing —a very blue sky,
the flowers hanging from the trees...—, Hannah carries out a
plan. Will she be able to wake them up?

el viaje de una familia a través de los altibajos de la vida
durante los años. Una celebración del amor familiar llena de
color. Los padres nos aman, nos protegen, nos enseñan, nos ayudan
y nos ofrecen un refugio seguro y cómodo para que nos sintamos
protegidos. Su amor va más allá de toda medida, están dispuestos
a hacer cualquier cosa para hacernos felices. Pero los niños
también sentimos lo mismo. Podemos percibir cuando papá está
preocupado o sentir el cansancio que nuestra madre intenta ocultar.
Si tan solo pudiéramos hacer desaparecer sus preocupaciones para
siempre... Haríamos cualquier cosa por vosotros. Nos comeríamos,
sin rechistar, todas las verduras. Nos enfrentaríamos, con
valentía, a todos nuestros miedos, solucionaríamos, por arte de
magia, todas vuestras penas. Aunque el tiempo avance, vosotros
siempre estáis ahí para atraparnos cuando caemos, y nosotros nos
aseguraremos de estar ahí para abrazaros cuando os sintáis
tristes.
A kite trip that will take us around the world to meet the hopes
and dreams of children around the world, from Bolivia to Nepal.If
something is capable of bringing the children of the world
together, that is the ability to dream and imagine a better world.
Every single one of us has with them a kite of dreams, a flying
kite sheltering our hopes and dreams. Through this kite trip, we
will meet Mohesiwä, a boy who lives in the jungle, Amunet, who
can’t stop but smiling when imagining a better future, Anja and
his brother Tuvo, who rummage through the garbage to find something
of value… The Kite of Dreams is an invitation to discover the
different cultures of the world and to dream of a better world. A
world with unpolluted air, where every child has access to
education, a world with clean and uncontaminated waters, where
biodiversity is preserved and forests are conserved. And more
importantly, a world in which each child can be happy and reach out
to those who need it.

Nibbling Your Nails is a sunny, imaginative story that will make
the little ones understand, in a fun way, the importance of
developing good habits. Sara is an expert in nail-biting. She
practices many times during the day: when she waters the plants,
when she looks at the stars with her giant telescope, even when
she’s in math class! Sometimes she puts so much effort into it
that she bites her finger! However, no matter how much she hurts
herself, Sara does not stop biting her nails. But she does it
unwittingly! Sarah’s teeth and stomach don’t seem to like that
habit. They would be much happier eating real food, like apples or
peppers… at least they don’t scratch! One afternoon Grandma
comes home with a great idea… She always arrives with a big laugh
on her face, games, and endless conversations, but this time she
brings her an unexpected gift. A gift that will make Sara use the
clippers once and for all!

to Sophie’s nose?? It’s the size of a turnip! Her parents often
tell her not to pick her nose, but she doesn’t listen. She picks
her nose so much, in fact, that Tim (that’s the name of her index
finger) has built his home inside, with a living room, a sofa, a
kitchen and a gourmet set menu… An amazing picture book that will
make kids laugh, and maybe help them with some nasty habits! Come
to this cozy, nosey home!

Morderse las uñas es una historia llena de imaginación para
disfrutar en familia, que hará comprender a los más pequeños, de
forma divertida, la importancia de desarrollar buenos hábitos.
Sara es una experta en morderse las uñas. Practica tantas veces
durante el día: cuando riega las plantas, cuando observa las
estrellas con su telescopio gigante, ¡incluso en la clase de
matemáticas! ¡A veces pone tanto empeño en ello que hasta se
muerde un dedo! Sin embargo, por mucho daño que se haga, Sara no
deja de morderse las uñas. ¡Lo hace sin pensar! Sus dientes y su
estómago no están nada contentos con este nuevo hábito; ellos
preferirían comer otros alimentos como las manzanas o los
pimientos… ¡al menos no arañan! Una tarde llega a casa la
abuela… con una gran idea. Siempre viene cargada de risas, juegos
y conversaciones infinitas, pero esta vez le trae un regalo
inesperado. ¡Un regalo que hará que Sara use el cortaúñas de
una vez por todas!
