In a Smushkin''s world, crackers are tasty (nom nom), log cars are speedy (vroom), and trampolines are the most fun of all (yippee! yippee!).

Mamá Topa tiene tres hijitos: Oto, Lola y Paco. Los tres son curiosos y aventureros y están ansiosos por conocer el mundo exterior. Primero fue el turno de Oto, quien salió a la mitad de un soleado día, vio los hermosos colores de las flores, pero también vio cosas aterradoras que hicieron que volviera a casa. Después, fue Lola la que salió, ella no encontró vívidos colores, pero si hermosas lucecitas en el cielo y muchos animales curiosos... hasta que encontró algunos que la asustaron y decidió volver a casa. Paco, quien estaba muy emocionado por ser testigo de todo lo que sus hermanos ya habían visto, comenzó a cavar y cavar y cavar. Hasta que salió en medio de una gran cuidad donde no vio nada parecido a lo que sus hermanos le habían contado. Una caja con tres libros de cartón para recordar que todo es distinto dependiendo de quién lo vea, y que, sin importar a donde uno vaya o qué es lo que uno vea, nunca habrá un lugar como el hogar.

Una obra para aprender sobre las palabras y las letras.

Hubo una vez un emperador que amaba a los gallos por sobre todas las cosas. Así que un día decidió llamar al mejor artista del imperio para que le pintara uno. El artista aceptó con gusto el encargo, pero las cosas comienzan a complicarse cuando el tiempo pasa y pasa y la entrega no llega... Esta historia popular sobre la paciencia y la maestría se convierte a su vez en un estudio sobre el arte de hacer libros ilustrados, construido a partir de bocetos y diversas aproximaciones a las imágenes y los textos. Una obra que juega consigo misma y consigue efectos de gran originalidad y belleza.

Students played a critical role in the Sandinista struggle in Nicaragua, helping to topple the US-backed Somoza dictatorship in 1979—one of only two successful social revolutions in Cold War Latin America. Debunking misconceptions, Students of Revolution provides new evidence that groups of college and secondary-level students were instrumental in fostering a culture of insurrection—one in which societal groups, from elite housewives to rural laborers, came to see armed revolution as not only legitimate but necessary. Drawing on student archives, state and university records, and oral histories, Claudia Rueda reveals the tactics by which young activists deployed their age, class, and gender to craft a heroic identity that justified their political participation and to help build cross-class movements that eventually paralyzed the country. Despite living under a dictatorship that sharply curtailed expression, these students gained status as future national leaders, helping to sanctify their right to protest and generating widespread outrage while they endured the regime’s repression. Students of Revolution thus highlights the aggressive young dissenters who became the vanguard of the opposition.

Esto los lleva a descubrir que todo es relativo. Porque la percepción de las cosas puede variar de uno a otro. ¿Será este el final del pobre ratón, o será tan sólo el principio de otra historia?

Nesta obra, Claudia Rueda coloca à prova a conhecida expressão de que tudo é relativo. Em uma disputa entre um gato e um rato, o leitor descobre que as coisas variam conforme as circunstâncias.

Un álbum sobre la libertad y el poder de la imaginación escrito e ilustrado por la talentosa Claudia Rueda. Este original libro está protagonizado por una línea. Es una sencilla raya hecha con lápiz que un día se aburre de hacer ejercicios sobre la página de un cuaderno cuadriculado y decide escapar del salón de clases. Muy contenta se va a recorrer el mundo. Así, la línea llega a una ciudad, escala altas montañas y conoce el mar, donde se enfrenta a unos temibles piratas. Es entonces cuando los lectores se percatan de que el verdadero protagonista de la historia es un niño llamado Leonardo, quien echa a volar su imaginación en medio de la clase y, mientras sus compañeros practican caligrafía, él se lanza a la aventura.

Cansada de dar voltas e repetir o mesmo caminho, a linha foge para se aventurar em lugares que apenas ela sabe como chegar.
