Die Osterkatze reviewed

Wie es wohl wäre, würde nicht wie sonst der Osterhase die kleinen Geschenke bringen, sondern zur Abwechslung mal eine Osterkatze? Genau diese Frage stellt sich die Hauptkatze in dem Buch „Gestatten, die Osterkatze“. Ich habe mir das im LOEWE-Verlag erschienene Kinderbuch mal genauer angeschaut.

Santa Cat selected for the Picture This 2015 Award

The WSRA (The Wisconsin State Reading Association) Children's Literature Committee members dedicate themselves to reading widely in order to evaluate the newest books published each year. This is done to recommend the most interesting and valuable books for educators and children to read. The committee considers titles published during the 15 months prior to the convention calendar year and evaluates books based on the quality of the literature, the appeal for students, and the value for classroom use. The committee creates two lists to help educators select titles for use in their specific areas. The "Just One More Page" list highlights the committee's recommendations for the best of the newest chapter books through eighth grade, while "Picture This" highlights the recommendations for the best of the newest picture books.

Five books to celebrate Colombian human diversity

I was fortunate to participate in this committed project by the ICBF in coordination with Fundalectura. Five books in paper and digital format include play songs and lullabies from the diverse Colombian human map. THe project I illustrated included songs from the Nasa, Inga, SIkuani, Caacwa and Totoro communities, five of the one thousand and two indigenous people in Colombia. You can download the digital for your tablet here for free and be able to listen to the songs in their original language. It is a cultural treasure, ignored by our school's colonialist telescope.
