This story is about the unusual relationship that developed between a bear in a zoo and a little cat that slipped through the bars of his cage to share his world. Their friendship inspires children at school to be kind to each other and to accept differences. Based on a true story of a cat and a bear in the Berlin Zoo, the friendship that developed between such different species becomes a metaphor for how people of different races, religions, backgrounds, or abilities can learn to accept each other. Cat tells Bear how she ended up out on the streets, cold and alone. Bear tells Cat about how he was brought to the zoo as a cub and how hard it is to be stared at all day without having a friend to share with. The two find comfort in each other, Cat slipping out of the cage each day to bring back stories to Bear. A little boy visits Bear and Cat and questions why these animals can be such good friends, while kids in his class are so mean to each other. A visit by the class helps the children recognize that they can also be friends, even when they might be quite different from each other. Paris Myers, the 15-year-old artist, makes the story come alive. It is bilingual, in English and Spanish, so young readers can see the words in both languages and have the pictures to help make meaning. All profits from sale of this book benefit Rotary San Miguel de Allende, Midday, whose mission is peace and friendship.

The first-ever U.S. edition of this delightful gem based on a letter Joyce wrote to his grandson, revealing the modernist master’s playful side—filled with one-of-a-kind illustrations—the perfect gift for Joyce fans and cat lovers alike. The Cats of Copenhagen was first written for James Joyce’s most beloved audience, his only grandson, Stephen James Joyce, and sent in a letter dated September 5, 1936. Cats were clearly a common currency between Joyce and his grandson. In early August 1936, Joyce sent Stephen “a little cat filled with sweets”—a kind of Trojan cat meant to outwit grown-ups. A few weeks later, Joyce penned a letter from Copenhagen that begins “Alas! I cannot send you a Copenhagen cat because there are no cats in Copenhagen.” The letter reveals the modernist master at his most playful, yet Joyce’s Copenhagen has a keen, anti-authoritarian quality that transcends the mere whimsy of a children’s story. Only recently rediscovered, this marks the inaugural U.S. publication of The Cats of Copenhagen, a treasure for readers of all ages. A rare addition to Joyce’s known body of work, it is a joy to see this exquisite story in print at last.

The first of Allan Ahlberg's mini-masterpieces for early readers, with striking illustrations by Katharine McEwen. Winner of the Red House Children's Book Award, this book is the first in a series of brilliantly funny early readers by Allan Ahlberg. One morning Mr Gaskitt puts on all his clothes, Mrs Gaskitt picks up a robber in her taxi, Gus and Gloria have trouble with a teacher, Horace the cat goes to a friend's house to watch TV and the car radio gets things wrong. What follows is an action-packed, massively swift-paced and farcical romp as different plots interweave and end in a thrilling car chase with Mr Gaskitt saving the day! With lively illustrations by Katharine McEwen."A delight from beginning to end. The pictures are outstanding and mark the advent of a really inspired illustrator." The Financial Times"Ahlberg's direct and funny storytelling style makes reading as near-effortless as possible." Guardian "Huge fun and ideal for early readers." Independent on Sunday

Every family has proverbs and sayings that are passed down through the generations, and author Miguel Lagunas's family is no exception. In Como decía mi tía Graciana, Lagunas shares proverbs from a Mexican family matriarch, illustrating the secret to happiness, how to live harmoniously with others, and respect for others. Although Graciana was not a real person, her sayings, advice, and proverbs have been passed down through many generations and have become daily sayings in many Spanish-speaking households. Como decía mi tía Graciana is translated in both English and Spanish so that you can enjoy these proverbs in both languages. In Como decía mi tía Graciana, you will read such proverbs as - A la feria muchos van, pero a ver y no a comprar (Many go to the fair, but to look and not to shop); - A la fruta dura, el tiempo madura (Time ripens hard fruit; time matures immaturity); and - A la hija muda, su madre la entiende (A quiet daughter is understood by her mother).
