Who would have believed that a knobby-kneed little colt called Seabiscuit would become one of the most celebrated racehorses of all time? Although Seabiscuit was the grandson of the legendary Man O' War, he was neither handsome nor graceful. His head was too big, his legs were too short, and his gallop was awkward. During the depths of the Great Depression, Seabiscuit won against incredible odds and uplifted the hearts of Americans from the streets to the White House. In this classic originally published in 1962, Ralph Moody recounts the thrilling tale of the plucky horse who refused to quit, the down-on-his-luck jockey who didn't let horrendous accidents keep him out of the saddle, and the taciturn trainer who brought out the best in both. Moving and inspirational, Come On Seabiscuit! is a reminder of the qualities that make a real American champion.

The inspiring true story of Baroness Floella Benjamin: from Trinidad, to London as part of the Windrush generation, to the House of Lords.
When she was 11 years old, Floella Benjamin, along with her older sister and two younger brothers, set sail from Trinidad to London, to be reunited with the rest of their family. Alone on a huge ship for two weeks, then tumbled into a cold and unfriendly London, coming to England wasn't at all what Floella had expected.
Coming to England is both deeply personal and universally relevant - Floella's experiences of moving home and making friends will resonate with young children, who will be inspired by her trademark optimism and joy. This is a true story with a powerful message: that courage and determination can always overcome adversity.

Cómo decir deseo es un poemario que intenta responder la pregunta “¿quién soy?” partiendo de una dialéctica del deseo. Se trata de una obra que pone en cuestión los conceptos tradicionales de identidad, amor y sexualidad tal como los ha definido el patriarcado, valiéndose para ello de una lírica profusa en imágenes, así como un fuerte tono autobiográfico, con versos de largo aliento y un imaginario sentimental contemporáneo.Esta obra aporta, además, una formulación del amor en clave lgbt —concretamente lésbica— que llena un vacío frecuente tanto por su temática como por su forma en el panorama poético actual de habla hispana. Con una sugerente estructura dividida en dos partes: “Cómo decir deseo” y “La confusión de los géneros”, este libro invita a la intimidad y al descubrimiento de aquellas cosas que nos afectan como seres susceptibles de sentir amor, convirtiéndolo en una vía de autoexploración y autoconocimiento como puede observarse en estos versos del poema Declaración:
Yo soy de Lesbos / y he probado los frutos / que hasta Aretino prohibía.
[...]
Yo soy de Lesbos / y canto mi pequeña canción / para joder a Baudelaire / y dejar de ser mujeres / condenadas.
Soy de Lesbos y / me baño en el Egeo / de tu piel y te espero / a la entrada del golfo de Endremit.
Porque Lesbos existe, / no es invisible.
Aunque lo veas como algo imposible de alcanzar, no lo es.
