Paloma Flies Away
Will Paloma and her parents someday find their way back to home and family? A Chilean artist tells an emotionally resonant, beautifully illustrated immigration story through a child's eyes. Paloma's home has changed. The dictator who took over the country has stripped its people of their freedoms, and it's no longer OK to think for yourself. So, like birds, Paloma and her parents fly away in search of a new home, without a chance to pack or say goodbye. The new country is different and generous, and their arrival is a big adventure. Though things are unfamiliar and Paloma misses the country she left, her new friends are soon like family, and she feels right at home. Then she grows older, and more changes come, and Paloma and family are flying away again, to a country she can barely remember . . . With a simple narration and stunning illustrations, María J. Guarda brings us a tender story about home, family, and identity during times of immeasurable change.

María of Ágreda
News of María of Ágreda's exceptional attributes spread from her cloistered convent in seventeenth-century Ågreda (Spain) to the court in Madrid and beyond.

Venciendo al Monstruo del Silencio
Un día de verano, sentada en el sillón de la abuela, comencé a revolver esas vivencias que tenía guardadas en mis silencios. Mi alma se fue deleitando con tantos gratos recuerdos, pero también se arrugó de dolor y comenzó a tirar fuera todo lo que la hizo sufrir. Cada momento me puso de pie frente a la «Balanza de las Decisiones» y tuve que optar con qué valores enfrentar lo que la vida ponía en mi camino y fui cargando en mi «Mochila de la Vida» enseñanzas que hoy comparto en esta historia. Te invito a leerla, contándotela tengo la certeza de que vencí al Monstruo del Silencio que por años me tuvo amordazada. Y, al vencerlo, estoy pidiendo por la necesidad de un Sistema de Protección para las personas víctimas de Abuso Psicopático. Vivir no es fácil, pero es maravilloso, es un desafío permanente y no darse por vencido es el mayor trofeo que podemos levantar mientras vamos tratando de alcanzar la felicidad.
