A wonderful children’s picture book that celebrates the diversity of families and promotes Family Day as a day where no child should feel left out.At school, the teacher wants her students to draw a picture of their families for Family Day. Some students ask questions, and the teacher explains that families come in all shapes and sizes: some children have only one parent; some have two moms or two dads; some live with their grandparents. Yet, whether they are big or small, look alike or different, the children learn that every family is special in its own unique way.

Un valiente álbum que promueve el Día de la Familia. Hay muchos tipos de familias, pero algo común a todas ellas: el amor. En el día de la Familia ninguna niña o niño se sentirá excluído y celebrará el amor por sus seres queridos.En el cole, la profe quiere que sus alumnos hagan un dibujo por el Día de la Familia y que retraten a la suya. Algunos alumnos hacen preguntas, y la profe les explica que hay muchos niños y niñas sin papá, sin mamá o sin ambos, también con dos papás o dos mamás, abuelos… y no por eso tienen que quedarse sin celebrar un día especial. Todas las familias son válidas, necesarias y a todas se las quiere por igual.–––––––––––––––––––––A wonderful children’s picture book that celebrates the diversity of families and promotes Family Day as a day where no child should feel left out.At school, the teacher wants her students to draw a picture of their families for Family Day.

A estos amigos les gustan todos los colores. ¿Es el rojo el color del enojo? ¿Es el azul el color de la tristeza? El divertido grupo descubrirá que no es así.Zorro llega al parque y sus amigos le preguntan muy preocupados si se encuentra bien. Él está feliz y no entiende qué pasa. Todos están confundidos porque Zorro lleva una camiseta azul, y piensan que el azul es el color de la tristeza. Su amiga Osa le pone inmediatamente un jersey amarillo. Y cuando dice que necesita calma le pondrán algo verde, hasta que Zorro se desespera. Pero, ¿no pueden los colores ser libres? ¿Podemos disfrutar de ellos sin vincularlos a una emoción concreta?Luis Amavisca y Alicia Acosta, juntos de nuevo tras '¡Vivan las uñas de colores!' y 'La muñeca de Lucas', en un libro que habla de la libertad de los colores. Un color no tiene por qué simbolizar una emoción. Eso nos reduce y nos quita libertad.–––––––––––––––––A light-hearted picture book which takes a different look at colors and emotions!Three friends, Bear, Deer and Squirrel are having a picnic. They are waiting for their friend Fox to join them. When he turns up wearing his blue t-shirt, everyone assumes he’s sad.  Fox is confused – why do they think he is sad? He feels happy.
