        Escondida (Hidden)

        by Adolfo Córdova, Amanda Mijango

        A poem and two lyrical voices intertwine in this book that invites the reader to get closer to the secret life of a girl who, with her voice, tells us about the complexity and richness of her inner world. A world that although it is not visible to the adult, has grown within her. On the other hand, there is the voice of the adult, who approaches and distances the girl, recognizing that inner world and its uniqueness. This poem written by Adolfo Córdova is extremely delicate and finds its counterpart in the work of Amanda Mijangos, who with pencil, oil monotype on paper, watercolour, and digital work, shows us that inner world with visual metaphors. The book contains a wonderful surprise: it is an accordion book (with a hardback spine) that allows the two voices and images of nature to be traversed. A book that talks about the intimate life of childhood and the relationship between this and adulthood.

        La memoria del bosque (The memory of the forest)

        by Sara Bertrand, Elizabeth Builes

        The memory of the forest tells two stories. One, that of a little girl and her mother, and the other story told by the mother to her daughter: a princess who has seen her village burn, a princess who has known fire and violence up close, a princess who hides, turns into a ball; but she is discovered by another - a cat - who makes her remember, questions her. It is a story that is permeated by the dialogues between mother and daughter around the story being told. Elizabeth Builes’ illustrations, with their gestural strokes, her impeccable handling of a palette of soft tones, her skill in the handling of nature and the creation of intimate scenes, give life to a story that goes beyond what is narrated in words.

        La sopa más rica y otros cuentos (The most delicious soup and other stories)

        by Mariana Ruiz Johnson

        The most delicious soup and other stories brings together five stories that take place in the village of Villa Verde, the place where all the characters live and interact. The stories are apparently very simple, yet they offer readers a delicate literary experience woven from references, ways of naming the world, images, and experiences typical of young children. This book, moreover, shares many elements with comics. In fact, we could see it as a comic for very young children, where the author, Mariana Ruiz Johnson, has used nib and Indian ink and digital color to provide readers with images in warm colors and a very rich illustration work with thousands of details for the delight of readers.

        by Mariana Massarani

        The tiny shimyshinees is a manifestation of children’s cultural heritage that fuse legend, games, and dance. Its origins are on the Island of Margarita –Venezuela– and thanks to school this piece of oral tradition spread throughout the country. According to the legend, The tiny shimyshinees is form by a group of elves that appear during full moon nights and gather on the beach to sing and play. Their song is so sweet that they can attract fish to the seashore. Over time, The tiny shimyshinees became a kind of theatrical troupe that roamed the streets of towns in popular festivals. Mariana Massarani’s illustrations capture the colors and culture of the Caribbean and give such a local piece an absolutely universal tone. With a naive style and with PVA paint, Massarani makes some colorful and very funny images and gives us perfect settings for the story that takes place: a group of children prepares their presentation on the shore of a crystalline sea and this is how image after image we see the coastal town, the costumes of the characters and part of their Caribbean culture. It is impossible to read this book without wanting to go to the beach!

        Siete cuervos y ocho cuentos (Seven crows and eight tales)

        by Jairo Buitrago, Juan Camilo Mayorga

        Seven Crows & Eight Stories gathers together, as its title says, eight stories in which children are protagonists: intelligent children; some mischievous, some rogue, some disobedient; and if there is a common characteristic, it is all naivety. Buitrago has the virtue of understanding very well the world of children and of speaking to them equally. The fears, the joys of children, are well known by the author and proof of this are his texts, where he depicts a very original representation of childhood and reality. These stories about everyday life are very humorous and will make more than one reader finish with a smile. The illustrations of Mayorga, of free stroke and, therefore, very expressive, show us the different scenarios and characters that make up that universe created by Buitrago.
