A girl with a red hood and a ferocious wolf. It´s a well-known story, but in this beautiful illustrated album it is told in a totally different way.
“Once upon a time there was a very hungry wolf. He was a peculiar wolf who had never liked hunting and that´s why some animals would tease him. He preferred to feed on roots and plants. So when his siblings were not looking, he looked for green shoots to eat.” And with this half-vegetarian wolf so begins an entertaining and charming reinterpretation of this classic which boys, girls and wolves too will love.
Caperucita pasaba las tardes de aventuras por el bosque con su nuevo amigo. Juntos, contaron su historia a la manada y al resto de animales, que después de oírla cambiaron de opinión sobre el lobo. No era un lobo cobarde, ni mucho menos, ¡era sencillamente vegetariano! Nunca sería cazador, pero tenía muchas otras cualidades, después de todo.

Words OnThe Wind David Aceituno Author Ana Santos Illustrator Lumen ilustrados, November 2016 Hardcover / 270 x 300 mm / 96pp
Words can change the world, excite you, drive you mad and set you dreaming. There are words of forbidden love, seductive words, the words you think but dare not say, mysterious words, invented words, those imbued with colors and those that have a scent... And these words do not get carried off by the wind. They stay with you forever.
About the author David Aceituno graduated in Philosophy from the Universidad Central de Barcelona. He is the author of the book of poems Sylvia & Ted and of the illustrated albums Besos que fueron y no fueron (2011), Ensueños (2012), Encantadas (2015) and Las palabras (no) se las lleva el viento (2016), amongst others.
La habitación de las palabras Es ahí donde a veces escribe palabras tacha palabras. Otras veces las vive, las siente dentro. Y entonces las echa a andar con un sustantivo, el sustantivo elige un adjetivo, un verbo los pone a bailar y la frase se escapa por la ventana. Y cuando las palabras se destiñen o se apagan, se transforman en piedras y caen bajo sus pies. Cada vez que pasa eso, ella rompe el papel.
Adivina, adivinanza… Sirviente soy de sabios, mi oficio, aunque me faltan lengua y labios, es decir la verdad y la mentira a todo el que me mira, y tanto más me estiman mis señores cuanto más firmes tengo los colores. (Solución: la tinta).

A golpe de varita
Buco.
Mezcla de mastín y galgo, era felizmente callejero, rápido como el viento y fuerte como un toro. Con tres toques de varita, y un par de palabritas mágicas, se convirtió en el primero de los caballos que tiraría de mi carruaje.
Nunca un Hada Madrina había estado más furiosa. Maldijo a Carapeo y a sus hijas en un montón de idiomas hasta que consiguió hacerme reír. —No hay tiempo que perder —me
Tuca.
dijo—, ni una lágrima más por quien no la merece. Ve corriendo al huerto y tráeme la calabaza más grande y más hermosa que veas. Regresé con la más naranja y pesada de todas entre los brazos. Para entonces, como si supieran el encantamiento que iba a realizar Alma, Buco, Tuca, Will y Pancho estaban dispuestos y obedientes frente a mi Hada.
32
Era una perra ovejera de una de las familias ganaderas de Ampursiana. Cada noche, cuando yo estaba terminando de limpiar la cocina, asomaba su hocico por la ventana esperando un trozo de salchichón y unas caricias. Dos golpes de varita fueron suficientes para que mudara en una hermosa yegua.
Will. Transformar la calabaza en carroza no fue sencillo porque Alma no recordaba bien las palabras mágicas. Primero la convirtió en un cascarón de nuez, después en una bicicleta; a la tercera le salió una piragua y por fin, a la cuarta, nos sorprendió con una carroza de lo más original.
Era el gato negro, peludo y calentito, que amaneció una mañana a los pies de mi cama y nunca más se fue. Una mirada de Alma, un pequeño soplido en sus bigotes, y se convirtió en el apuesto cochero que me llevaría al baile.
Pancho.
El más pequeño y dispuesto de mis ratones. Él no se transformó en nada, pero estaba allí por si lo necesitaba para algún menester.
El vestido: mi Hada me pidió que cerrara los ojos, que sacara la lengua tratando de alcanzar con ella la punta de mi nariz, mientras imaginaba el vestido más bonito del mundo. Así lo hice: no conseguí alcanzar mi nariz, pero en un segundo mi vestido era el mismo que había imaginado...
Los zapatos de cristal y su encantamiento Entonces Alma me entregó unos increíbles tacones de cristal.
—Los ha hecho Madame Scarpa —me dijo—, y han pertenecido a algunas mujeres aladas y soñadoras, y ahora son tuyos. No pongas esa cara. Carlota no se enfadará contigo por no llevar puestos los que ella te regaló. Entonces golpeó suavemente la punta de los tacones con su varita y, después de recitar unas solemnes palabras mágicas con cara de concentración, me entregó los zapatos, un papel misterioso y me dijo muy lentamente: —ESTO ES MUY IMPORTANTE
Cuando vuelvas a calzarte estos zapatos en los pies, acuérdate de que, solo si recitas una a una las palabras que escribí en este papel, los zapatos hechizados se ocuparán de cumplir con lo pactado, y el conjuro conjurado sucederá en un momento. Solo así, ante tus ojos se hará realidad mi encantamiento.

No sabe la tabla del dos ni la del cuatro ni la del siete. Ema no sabe atarse los cordones, ni cortar un pomelo en gajos, no sabe que los rayos nunca caen en el mismo lugar, a menos que los inviten. No sabe la tabla del ocho. Ema no conoce a ningún famoso, nunca se peinó para atrás, ni sabe el nombre de ninguna capital. No sabe la tabla del seis ni la del nueve. No sabe dar la vuelta a la manzana. No sabe qué quiere decir “metáfora”. No sabe la tabla del uno. Pero Ema es la única persona en todo el mundo que sabe dónde empieza el Universo.

Do Dogs Go to Heaven?
77 Questions Children Ask About Religions Javier Sábada Author Marcos Farina Illustrator Alfaguara, September 2016 Hardcover / 140 x 215mm / 146pp
How many religions are there? Gods or goddesses? Are religions important? What does it mean to be an atheist or an agnostic? What is death? How long is eternity? These are questions that all children ask themselves, and not all parents know how to answer. In plain language and with a secular perspective, Javier Sádaba helps us to find answers to all these questions.
19ª entonces el politeísmo no tiene Que ver con la policía, ¿no? Exacto. Si mono significaba «uno», poli significa «muchos». Junto con théos, obtenemos «muchos dioses». Así que las politeístas son aquellas religiones que tienen varios dioses, o por lo menos más de uno. La mayor parte de las religiones en las diversas culturas y civilizaciones de la historia han sido o son politeístas. Hay pueblos, como los nuer en África, en los que abundan los dioses. Para otros, como en la antigua Persia, solo había dos, Ormuz y Arhizman, que no se llevaban muy bien y se disputaban constantemente el poder. En la Grecia clásica los dioses, que habitaban en el Olimpo, eran muchos (Zeus, Hera, Apolo, Afrodita, y tantos más) y los conocemos gracias a diversas leyendas que han llegado a nosotros. Y hay otros pueblos cercanos, como los de la Europa del Norte, en la que también tienen un montón de dioses. También en el Lejano Oriente, tenemos la religión hindú y en sus textos sagrados, llamados Vedas, encontramos miles de dioses, como Indra o Varuna, que protegen o amenazan a los humanos según sus intereses. En el politeísmo, cada dios suele estar relacionado con algún tipo de fenómeno, sea natural, como las tormentas o la muerte; o social, como la guerra, la agricultura, el matrimonio... Así que venerar y realizar sacrificios a un dios concreto, por ejemplo, el del amor, nos ayudaría a tener éxito en ese aspecto. Eso sí, en algunas religiones los dioses son muy suyos y se ofenden con facilidad. ¡Hay que ir con cuidado! Los primeros cristianos llamaban paganos a los que seguían adorando a los viejos dioses y no a su dios. En nuestros días, los paganos serían los incrédulos en una sociedad secular, es decir, que se rige por criterios mundanos y no religiosos.

Half of your problems explained by philosophy. Do you think that philosophy is boring? That it´s useless? That´s because it hasn´t been explained properly to you. But there´s still time to catch up. This fun book tells you the “hits” of philosophy and shows you that many of today´s dilemmas and conundrums are many centuries old.
Can happiness be bought on Black Friday? Are you a walking brain or a broken heart? Life sucks! Are we dommed to suffer?
«El hombre es la medida de todas las cosas.»
¿POR QUÉ LO DIJERON? Los sofistas son los primeros en dudar del alcance de las capacidades humanas. A diferencia de Platón, no creen que sea posible conocer la verdad. Las herramientas de que disponemos para conocer (los sentidos, la razón, el lenguaje) son demasiado limitadas. En cambio, la razón y el lenguaje sí que pueden sernos muy útiles, si somos capaces de utilizarlos bien, para transformar la realidad y dominar a las personas.

LOS CÍRCULOS DE LA COSECHA ¿Mensajes extraterrestres? Año 2008. En un campo cerca de Madrid apareció de la noche a la mañana algo de lo más asombroso: un gran círculo dibujado en la hierba. La vegetación estaba aplastada de manera que formaba una enorme circunferencia con una especie de símbolo dentro. En los días siguientes, la misma marca apareció en campos cerca de Barcelona, Málaga, Bilbao… Se trataba de un fenómeno conocido como «círculos de la cosecha». Aparecen generalmente por la noche y los hay de todas las formas y tamaños, desde unos muy pequeños a otros de centenares de metros de extensión, simples círculos o diseños tremendamente complicados.

Head, Heart and Guts Pablo Arribas Nube de tinta, May 2017 Softcover, 140 x 213 mm
The second book after the The Universe of Simplicity tells us about the simplicity and optimism in love, heartbreak and self-esteem. Head, Heart and Guts is a manual reflecting on love, solitude and caring for the self, for others and for life. For all those who doubt, make mistakes and despair: How does love happen? How to find it? How do you know when you’ve found it?
There are three ways to love: with your head, with your heart, and with your guts. With your head, love is called preference; with the heart, passion; and with the guts, desire. Either you love with all three or you’re destined for chaos. • The Universe of Simplicity has sold almost 6,000 copies since May 2016.
