From one of Spain’s most exciting author-illustrators making her English-language debut, this whimsical illustrated novel has the fantasy of Miyazaki, the imagination of Tove Jansson, the tenderness of Charlotte’s Web, and the magic of E.T. In the middle of the night, three lights fall from the sky. What are they? They don’t look like fireflies. Mole and his earthworm friends are taken by surprise. What are they going to do with these newcomers? In these pages, Maria Ramos tells the story of a little improvised family that grows and changes together—one that will face many challenges to help the three little lights find their true home. Brimming with imagination and tenderness, and offering abundant, whimsical illustrations, this story enlivens the mind, while penetrating straight to the heart.

A metafictional novel about two intertwined stories of love that seek to perpetuate themselves in history.The Worst Thing of All Is the Light tells two stories. First, that of the friendship of two heterosexual men, Koldo and Edorta, through the decades of the late twentieth century in Spain’s Basque Country. In the book Edorta writes in order to try and save from oblivion his relationship with Koldo—a bond for which the word “friendship” falls short yet for which he is too afraid to use the word “love.” It is the story of two men who are in love and don’t know it, or don’t want to know it. The second story is that of its author, José Luis Serrano, in the present day as he enjoys his summer holiday in the same Basque Country and talks with his husband at length about many different things, but mostly about how to narrate the relationship of Koldo and Edorta, two men who did not allow themselves to construct the domestic life that their counterparts enjoy today. Together these stories show a love that the lovers hope will outlive them, a love that is the same even if we give it different labels.

★"This book stands out with its sensitive and positive portrayal of a visually impaired character and the normalized support of others. An essential purchase for all libraries." -- School Library Journal Bruno's home is a bit different, but he wouldn't trade it for the world. Bruno's friend Sanjay is lucky: He doesn't have to share his room (well, except with a pet iguana), and he can leave his toy soldiers all over the house. And Bruno's brother, Mateo, who is visually impaired, is pretty lucky too: He has a dog named Rocco who helps him get around. Plus, Mateo can keep reading after dark by using just his fingers (while Bruno has to use a flashlight). Still, Bruno has it pretty good. He can leave his bed a total mess. He can play dinosaurs with Sanjay and his iguana. And he can listen to Mateo's made-up adventure stories (Mateo is a great storyteller). If he had to compare, he'd say he was the luckiest of all to have such a great friend and great brother.

"Lawrence Schimel's short stories ring contemporary changes into the romances and m rchen that comprise the blueprints of our literary heritage. Schimel's stories are both spry and sly, and the best of them are grounded in humor or pathos. Some of them are over almost before they start; this is good, for both in magic and desire there should always be more than meets the eye."-Gregory Maguire, author of WickedNeste sexto volume da Colect nea de Contos Traduzidos pelos vencedores do Concurso de Tradu o Liter ria alusivo a Dia Internacional da Tradu o, apresentamos a nosso leitor contos fant sticos da autoria de Lawrence Schi-mel, premiado autor e tradutor norte-americano.
