Authentic Literature
¡No!
No!
Author and illustrator: David McPhail
A boy sets out to take a letter to the post office. The
streets are the scene of the most brutal acts that adults
are capable of executing, but he does not abandon his
mission: to show that peace is always the best way.
The idea of actively participating in stopping
violence without fighting is shocking to all readers,
both children and adults.

Illustrated by Margarita Sada
Claudia is a princess who lives with her father in a
small kingdom. One day, the king becomes sick and
she is designated as his substitute. Claudia, who likes
to have fun, will not hesitate in doing some mischief so
that the kingdom is to her liking.
In this charming story, Claudia acts out the
dream of every young reader: to be the one who
makes decisions, with the wisdom and simplicity
of childhood.

Perhaps
Author and illustrator: Guido van Genechten
How does it all start? With nothing? Perhaps. This
Picture book is an invitation for the reader to imagine
that everything disappears and then starts anew. Using
primary colors and elemental geometric figures, the
world is built and becomes more complex, until its
parts break down on the way back to simplicity.
A magnificent book, with a profound and amazing
simplicity, about everything and nothing.
