Òperes explicades per a nens

'De nen no tenia televisió. La música a través de la ràdio era la meitat del meu món, ja que l'altra el formava la literatura, devorar llibres. Moltes nits em quedava a escoltar les òperes que retransmetia Radio Nacional de España en directe. Quan el locutor descrivia el següent acte, la meva imaginació volava lliure.' I això és el que ha volgut transmetre'ns Jordi Sierra i Fabra, el mestre de la literatura infantil i juvenil, a través de les pàgines d'aquesta atípica òpera. De la mà de Falla, Ravel, Wagner o Puccini, ens portarà a un univers en el qual les paraules es fan més intenses, més poderoses, gràcies a la música que les condueix. Aquest audiollibre està narrat en català - Jordi Sierra i Fabra va néixer a Barcelona el 26 de juliol de 1947. És conegut per la seva obra com a escriptor de literatura infantil i juvenil i el seu treball com a periodista musical. La seva vocació d'escriptor és clara i ferma des de molt petit: confessa que va fer els seus primers passos amb tan sols vuit anys d'edat i als dotze anys ja va escriure la seva primera novel·la llarga, de cinc-centes pàgines. Malgrat la seva clara vocació, no comptava amb l'aprovació o l'entusiasme dels seus pares, que en acabar el batxillerat el van obligar a treballar en una empresa de construcció durant el dia i a estudiar per ser aparellador durant la nit. De la seva infància ha dit que 'vaig ser tres vegades reprimit: pel meu pare, pel règim i per l'escola franquista'. Tot i així, la seva determinació i la seva tenacitat són més fortes que qualsevol obstacle i les seves insistents cartes setmanals a la cadena de ràdio Cadena Ser el van portar a convertir-se en un dels fundadors de la revista 'El Gran Musical' el 1968. El 1970 va poder abandonar els estudis per convertir-se en comentarista musical, la qual cosa li va permetre viatjar per tot el món amb grups i artistes del moment mentre cobria les seves actuacions i escrivia reportatges.

The Year of the Book

A novel to treasure with every middle-grader you know (NYTBR), this first Anna Wang story shows how a young Asian-American girl navigates her way around friendship and learn to accept that our diversity is what makes us unique. In Chinese, peng you means friend. But in any language, all Anna knows for certain is that friendship is complicated. When Anna needs company, she turns to her books. Whether traveling through A Wrinkle in Time, or peering over My Side of the Mountain, books provide what real life cannot-constant companionship and insight into her changing world. Books, however, can't tell Anna how to find a true friend. She'll have to discover that on her own. In the tradition of classics like Maud Hart Lovelace's Betsy-Tacy books and Eleanor Estes's One Hundred Dresses, this novel subtly explores what it takes to make friends and what it means to be one.

Mago de Oz

El maravilloso mago de Oz (título original: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz) es un libro de literatura infantil escrito por Lyman Frank Baum e ilustrado por W. W. Denslow. Fue publicado inicialmente por la George M. Hill Company de Chicago en 1900. Desde entonces, ha sido uno de los libros más editados tanto en Estados Unidos como en Europa. La novela, que narra las aventuras de una muchacha llamada Dorothy Gale en la tierra de Oz, es una de las historias más conocidas de la cultura popular norteamericana y se ha traducido a muchos idiomas. Gracias al gran éxito de El maravilloso mago de Oz, L. Frank Baum escribió trece libros más sobre la tierra de Oz. El libro es de dominio público en Estados Unidos desde 1956. Según Krugman y Obstfeld​ basados en Rockoff H., la obra es una alegoría directa de la lucha política y económica entre los partidarios del patrón oro y los del bimetalismo en Estados Unidos a finales del siglo XIX. El camino de ladrillos amarillos es la falsa promesa del oro. Lo que sí debe destacarse es que fue el primer libro de cuentos infantiles con personajes y lugares típicos de Estados Unidos en una época donde todos los cuentos infantiles describían paisajes y personajes europeos. Aunque este tipo de representación se podía ver levemente en otros libros infantiles, como Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer, de 1878, que también transcurren en Estados Unidos
