Take off on Nighthawk's adventure as he goes in search of happiness, and discover how helping others can help you! --------------------------- Nighthawk: La Historia del Mosquito sin Alas. Nighthawk era un mosquito especial. Tan especial que nació sin alas. Pero cómo deseaba ser como los demás. Anhelaba zumbar libremente por el aire y explorar la tierra con unas alas largas y fuertes. Cuando la vida te da limones, ¡haces limonada! ¡Embárcate en la aventura de Nighthawk en busca de la felicidad y descubre cómo ayudar a los demás puede ayudarte a ti mismo! -------------------- ]Children who are lucky enough to get their hands on Nighthawk: The Tale of a Flightless Mosquito In a gaily illustrated and narrated book, Kike Calvo's message comes to life as we delve into the story: the importance of helping others becomes palpable, and it is accompanied by the universal idea of overcoming the odds. Nighthawk's story is similar to my own, to my adaptation process to a new prosthesis. I hope that no child or adult will forget that even if it is hard for us, we must all accept ourselves as we are, and that, as we walk, we must help others.] -- El Biblioburro. ]While reading the story of the mosquito, I couldn't help but remember my own when I lost a leg in an accident with one of my donkeys. What surprised me the most when I learned about the background of this story is that when Kike wrote the original manuscript, he was only 10 years old, the same age as many of the children I share the love of reading with. I can't wait to see how these stories illuminate the lives of thousands of children, encouraging them to overcome the adversities that life will present.] -- El Biblioburro.

Download or read book Danny Is Different written by Tedi Tuttle Wixom and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-09-17 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bilingual (Spanish/English) Children's Illustrated story, Danny Is Different is about a little green snake that is born with special needs. His parents who are upper-class snobbish snakes living a fast-paced life in the city, are afraid of what the neighbors may think if they take their son out in public because he is handicapped. Mrs. Slither wonders if she should allow one of their country kinfolk to adopt him so that she and her husband don't have to deal with a son who is physically challenged. But she changes her mind when her newborn snake son says, "I love you." Fatherhood becomes the richer due to the fact that Mr. Slither has stayed overlong at work before his son's birth, and Mrs. Slither's social status may have to be compromised-the couple have to deal with this issue and therefore they are forced to spend more time at home as a family. This book is about fatherhood, and motherhood, and growing up to accept the role of being parents. It is about what it means to love a child with special needs and learning that perhaps their son's handicap can be an asset. This is about a mother and a father accepting a baby who has special needs; it is about family relationships, peer pressure, uncomfortable social settings, and social norms. It is about being bullied by the community and how to overcome that. It is about being unique and accepting others who may appear physically different that may be mocked in social settings and cause awkward situations for upper-class snob snakes. This is about gossip and overcoming prejudices, at home, in the family, and in the community. Danny doesn't realize his being different is a challenge and he continues what he does best, he becomes a team player and learns to get along with the kids (cats and dogs) on the other side of town who honor him and aspire to be like him, because he is a World Cup-type soccer player. How can that be? The city neighbors are never clued in to Danny's special needs until one day when their neighbor Cindy Snooty spies on them and realizes that Danny is different. She can't wait to spread the gossip. Danny's parents are shocked when the city councilman, Jeremy Flake stops by to investigate the claims that Danny is malformed. He informs Mr. and Mrs. Slither, that the community can't have this type of person living in their neighborhood. What happens to the family? Are they rail-roaded out of town? Does justice triumph or prejudiced neighbors win out? Children, adults, or friends discover that keeping a child who is different is a lesson in compassion, learning, and all involved can be blessed. After all, the uniqueness in an individual is what makes our lives the richer. Author, Tedi Tuttle Wixom wrote this story with two things in mind: social prejudice, the upper class attitudes verses lower class, and physical handicaps. One of her six healthy sons was born with a familial heart disease, and he received a new heart in Loma Linda California when he was nine months old. This true account is titled A Whisper of Springtime: Jason's Heart Transplant Miracle. Because of the many prejudices and snide remarks that she got from her son's classmates, neighbors, and family members, she wanted to show that being unique is a blessing, and accepting a person for their physical limitations is commendable. Being true to principles of love and self-esteem and championing the unique person at home, in family relationships, and remembering to never give up even when others believe that being different is "scary, socially unacceptable, fuels fear, and causes many awkward social situations." Danny shows us that it's okay to be different and to embrace that part of any person, or snake like Danny. He changed the course of his community and snake history. And so can every individual. This is a bilingual edition.

Book excerpt: Literary Nonfiction. Poetry. Latinx Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. Edited by Ricardo F. Vivancos-Pèrez and Norma Cantú. Rooted in Gloria Anzaldúa's experiences growing up near the U.S./Mexico border, BORDERLANDS/LA FRONTERA remaps our understanding of borders as psychic, social, and cultural terrains that we inhabit and that inhabit us all. Drawing heavily on archival research and a comprehensive literature review while contextualizing the book within her theories and writings before and after its 1987 publication, this critical edition elucidates Anzaldúa's complex composition process and its centrality in the development of her philosophy. It opens with two introductory studies; offers a corrected text, explanatory footnotes, translations, and four archival appendices; and closes with an updated bibliography of Anzaldúa's works, an extensive scholarly bibliography on Borderlands, a brief biography, and a short discussion of the Gloria E. Anzaldúa Papers. "Ricardo F. Vivancos-Pèrez's meticulous archival work and Norma Elia Cantú's life experience and expertise converge to offer a stunning resource for Anzaldúa scholars; for writers, artists, and activists inspired by her work; and for everyone. Hereafter, no study of Borderlands will be complete without this beautiful, essential reference."--Paola Bacchetta

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Every year, Ceyala “Lala” Reyes' family—aunts, uncles, mothers, fathers, and Lala's six older brothers—packs up three cars and, in a wild ride, drive from Chicago to the Little Grandfather and Awful Grandmother's house in Mexico City for the summer. From the celebrated bestselling author of The House on Mango Street and winner of the 2019 PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature. Struggling to find a voice above the boom of her brothers and to understand her place on this side of the border and that, Lala is a shrewd observer of family life. But when she starts telling the Awful Grandmother's life story, seeking clues to how she got to be so awful, grandmother accuses Lala of exaggerating. Soon, a multigenerational family narrative turns into a whirlwind exploration of storytelling, lies, and life. Like the cherished rebozo, or shawl, that has been passed down through generations of Reyes women, Caramelo is alive with the vibrations of history, family, and love. From the winner of the 2019 PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature.

Book excerpt: From personal loss to phantom diseases, The Empathy Exams is a bold and brilliant collection, winner of the Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize A Publishers Weekly Top Ten Essay Collection of Spring 2014 Beginning with her experience as a medical actor who was paid to act out symptoms for medical students to diagnose, Leslie Jamison's visceral and revealing essays ask essential questions about our basic understanding of others: How should we care about each other? How can we feel another's pain, especially when pain can be assumed, distorted, or performed? Is empathy a tool by which to test or even grade each other? By confronting pain—real and imagined, her own and others'—Jamison uncovers a personal and cultural urgency to feel. She draws from her own experiences of illness and bodily injury to engage in an exploration that extends far beyond her life, spanning wide-ranging territory—from poverty tourism to phantom diseases, street violence to reality television, illness to incarceration—in its search for a kind of sight shaped by humility and grace.
