Book excerpt: Una colecci�n de originales cuentos que tienen una mirada hilarante, a veces irreverente y muchas otras sensible a la parte m�s vulnerable de la crianza de los hijos -cosas que la mayor�a de las madres no admitir�a, pero se siente identificada y suelta una sanadora carcajada (o se toca el coraz�n) con cada historia-. Mam� Transformer ha confabulado con otras mam�s que tienen la escritura como su aliada para volar la tapa de lo que debe y no debe ser dicho cuando se escribe de la experiencia de la maternidad. [Ellas] se atreven a soltar en la ficci�n, y en otras historias con tintes autobiogr�ficos, cosas que la mayor�a de las madres han pensado, sentido o deseado, pero pocas han tenido el coraje de admitir. Pon este libro en la parte superior de tu pa�alera o enci�rrate en el ba�o -el lugar depende de la edad de tus hijos- y r�e, llora y canaliza con estos cuentos el viaje a veces hist�rico que todas hacemos y curamos en el territorio interminable de ser mam�. Un ant�doto para madres y padres. Bocadillos de hilaridad para romper la cotidianidad en madres ansiosas, padres nerviositos y mujeres que se cuestionan entrarle al ruedo de la maternidad. Toma esta colecci�n de cuentos como una b�squeda del equilibrio necesario entre ser mam� y ser mujer. Y, cuando lo termines, tus hijos pueden llenar las ilustraciones de color.

Except he refuses to return; he won’t be missed. His future is uncertain until he meets the kind, maternal María Dolores and her young daughter, Alegría, who help Santiago decide what comes next: He will accompany them to el otro lado, the United States of America. They embark with little, just backpacks with water and a bit of food. To travel together will require trust from all parties, and Santiago is used to going it alone. None of the three travelers realizes that the journey through Mexico to the border is just the beginning of their story.
Download or read book Little Cloud Lamb written by Ana Eulate and published by Cuento de Luz. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner at the 2011 Living Now Book Awards. A touching and sensitive story for all ages about accepting differences and dealing with the loss of a loved one. On a spring night, under the light of the full moon, a little lamb was born. Molly, her mother, decided to call him Lambkin. Lambkin was a very special sheep, and as time passed, it became more apparent that he was nothing like the other lambs. While his friends were dressed with white, long wool, the little one was covered with a small, fluffy cloud. Lambkin was a white cloud, sometimes cloudy, sometimes even a stormy one! Without a doubt, Lambkin was a very special sheep, and that was why it was more difficult for him to relate to others. He wasn't cut out for jumping fences and helping children fall asleep—what he liked the most was being in nature. But like the clouds, Lambkin soon realized that his place was in the sky.

He questions if they know enough about him as a person, and the family to which they belong.

In a heartfelt and direct tone that has gained him the love and admiration of millions of fans across the country, Ramos writes about the issues that plague every parent's mind. In The Gift of Time, Ramos speaks both to his children and to the future generations of Americans on what they can expect, and what is expected of them, as they embark on their journey toward adulthood.
Download or read book Questions of the Liminal in the Fiction of Julio Cortazar written by Domenic Moran and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The great Argentinian writer Julio Cortazar (1914-84) was immersed in one of the most vibrant and revolutionary intellectual scenes of the last century, the Paris of the 1950s and 60s. Yet his often highly cerebral work has never received the close philosophical attention it deserves. Moran's book fills this critical lacuna. Rather than indiscriminately applying 'theory' to Cortazar, it aims to show that his work both engages with and often foreshadows many of the problems which were to become central to so-called poststructuralist philosophy and poetics. This study demonstrates that Cortazar remains enduringly, problematically modern."
