Lulu and the Hunger MonsterTM/Lulú y el Monstruo del Hambre

Sinopsis del Libro

Award-winning Lulu and the Hunger Monster is also available as a bilingual book in Spanish and English. When Lulu’s mother’s van breaks down, money for food becomes tight and the Hunger Monster comes into their lives. Only visible to Lulu, Hunger Monster is a troublemaker who makes it hard for her to concentrate in school. How will Lulu help her mom and defeat the Monster when Lulu has promised never to speak the monster’s name to anyone? This realistic—and hopeful—book in Spanish and English builds awareness of the issue of childhood hunger, increases empathy for people who are food insecure, and demonstrates how anyone can help end hunger. Lulu and the Hunger Monster /Lulú y el Monstruo del Hambre empowers children to destigmatize the issue of hunger before the feeling turns into shame. The author combines years of experience fighting hunger as a food bank CEO with an MFA in writing for young children to craft an honest story of how poverty and food insecurity can affect adults and their children. Lulu’s story addresses the effects of hunger on learning and can be used in group settings to address social justice issues in an accessible and encouraging way.

Todos los amigos juntos

–¡Ah! No son para mí –dijo Jen, con una risita, al leer la tarjeta, y luego me extendió el ramo–. Cat, son para ti. –¿Para mí? –pregunté, atónita. –Vaya –exclamó Becca–. ¿De quién son?

La guerra de los panes

La guerra de los panes es un libro que, sin dudas, seguirá abriendo las puertas a la lectura de muchos chicos. Un libro fiel al estilo de Graciela Montes, con buenas cuotas de humor y riqueza literaria. ¿Qué barrio no tiene una panadería... Y hasta dos? ¿Qué barrio no tiene sus expertos en flautas, en felipes y en miñones? En cambio, no creo que sean muchos los barrios donde se haya desatado un duelo tan terrible de cortezas y de migas, una guerra tan crocante y tan sabrosa, como la que tuvimos que vivir los vecinos de Florida.
