Lo que sí y lo que no
I’m Really Confused
Author: Verónica Murguía
•
Illustrated by: Cecilia Rébora
Marcos’ parents tell him: “Don’t eat like a bird” or “Pick
up your things, don’t be a pig.” When they give him
a book about animals, he doesn’t understand why it
seems to contradict what his parents think. The book
says that pigs are not dirty and that birds eat much
more than he does, at least in comparison. Who is
right? The book or his parents?
A perfect book for readers who love books,
especially if they are about animals.

Los aeropuertos
The Airports
Author: Jairo Buitrago
•
Illustrated by: Juan Mayorga
A lonely traveler arrives at an airport at sunrise and
must take the next flight in the late afternoon. To
spend time, he tours the city and visits various sites.
He finds an animal shelter where he meets Lost, a dog
without an owner, and decides to accompany her the
rest of the day. Although it lasts for one afternoon, the
meeting enriches the lives of both of them.
This endearing meeting is a reflection on solitude
and the places of transit, written by one of the best
authors of children’s and young adult literature,
with the freshness and talent of an excellent
illustrator.
