        Dance of the Wild

        by Richa Jha and Ruchi Mhasane

        Little Shilu loves to dance around naked. She wants to be like the animals; like Pirate, her cat. When her grandmother Nannu says she can’t because she is now a big girl, Shilu gets down to understanding why she can’t. Peppered with Nannu’s loving chiding, intimate grandma-granddaughter bonding over conversations, and a heart-to-heart between the mother and this little inquisitive daughter, this book is a reflection of the wild and free nature of childhood.  Rhuchi Mhasane’s soft evocative illustrations rendered in pencil with watercolour, and put together digitally, create a dreamlike charm. Richa Jha’s gentle, affectionate and lyrical text takes the reader into the mind of the little girl who can’t wait to get the answers to her ‘Why can’t I?’

        by Anna Prosvetova

        This is the story of all women facing problems of personal life, self-awareness, communication with others.

So why, then, in the 21st century, the problems of teenagers have not disappeared anywhere? Why do girls and boys get into "bad" companies the same way? Why do underage girls still "suddenly" get pregnant? Why do modern children suffer from depression? Having mastered this book, your child will understand that he/she is an individual, will learn to respect himself/herself, will easily find the right friends, will be able to achieve his dreams and plan his own happy future. This publication is recommended not only to teenagers, but also to their parents, because practice shows that many adults would also learn about the Keys that unlock the door to the world of Happiness.

        I See That

        by Art studio Agrafka

        This is an educational picture book about sight from the creative studio Agrafka. It is about both things we can see with our own eyes and the mysterious, invisible to the human eye. This book is also about microscopes and telescopes that help us see incredibly small or extremely distant things. It explains that for better eyesight some people need glasses, while those who can’t see at all need a special system and symbols. By reading this book, you will learn how birds and animals see the world, how artists create optical illusions, and about the many millions of hues the human eye can perceive. I See That won the 2018 Bologna Ragazzi Award, the most prestigious award in children’s literature, in the award’s non-fiction category. I See That has been awarded with a Bronze Medal Stiftung Buchkunst in 2019.

        Así soy yo

        Para mirar el mundo desde los ojos de una niña de tres años

        by Pía, Juliana Salcedo

        When we listen to Pia, we witness how a girl (who is about three years old), tries to make sense of the world. Behind the phrases drafted by her mother’s quick trace, there is much more than pure logic, a quirky sentence, or a funny way of saying things. If we listen carefully, we might grasp the way Pia thinks. And we might be able to see how she tries to answer her daily queries. Those that we, adults, might not find important. When we listen to Pia, we participate of the young child’s sensibility, and we can think of how the way we look at the world, and the way we relate to it was constructed.

        Tanze ins Licht

        Reisen zu inneren Kraftquellen

        by Birgit Baader

        Ein praktisches Handbuch für Kinder, Erzieher, Eltern, Therapeuten - für alle, die mit Kindern zusammen sind und sich für sie interessieren.Die Meditationen in diesem Buch sind inspiriert durch die ursprüngliche Kraft der Natur. Tierreich und Pflanzenreich, das Volk der Vögel und der Meeresbewohner, die uralten Farne und viele andere Baumfreunde, aber auch die verschiedenen Elemente - die Kinder des Feuers, Wassers, Windes -, die Mineralien und viele mehr schenkten ihnen ihr mauri (Lebenskraft) und ihr wairua (spirituelle Kraft). Studien zufolge verweilen Kleinkinder lange Zeit-spannen in einem meditativen Alphazustand – wenn man sie lässt. In unserer heute oft hekti-schen und reizüberfluteten Alltagswelt ist es wichtig, kontemplative (Frei-) Räume zu schaffen. Zeiten der Meditation, in der wir die Balance zwischen äußeren Anforderungen und innerer seelischer Kraft wiederherstellen können, sind eine Voraussetzung für ein ausgeglichenes, selbst-bestimmtes Leben.    Teilen Sie dieses wesentliche "Werkzeug" mit Ihren Kindern, Schülern, Patienten... und gehen Sie selbst auf die Reise zu inneren Kraftquellen.
