Daughters of Snow and Cinders
Fleeing the fires of her war-torn homeland, a young woman travels to the New World in search of gold to rebuild her life.

"A breath of fresh air, this tender and dynamic collection is a must-have." --Kirkus, Starred

The Cardboard Kingdom was created, organized, and drawn by Chad Sell with writing from ten other authors: Jay Fuller, David DeMeo, Katie Schenkel, Kris Moore, Molly Muldoon, Vid Alliger, Manuel Betancourt, Michael Cole, Cloud Jacobs, and Barbara Perez Marquez.

Scurry
A group of house mice struggle to survive a long and strange winter. The humans are gone, the sun is rarely seen, and a cold, dark rain befouls everything it touches.
The mice, long dependent on humans for food, stubbornly cling to their old ways, looting the nearby abandoned houses for any scraps they can find. Once, there was plenty to eat, but now the scavengers return empty-handed, or not at all.
Food is scarce, but danger is everywhere. Poison and traps wait for the unwary in dark cupboards, and a gang of feral cats relentlessly chase the mice whenever the rodents leave the safety of their nest. Now there are even rumors a hawk has come to join the hunt.
As supplies run low and many mice fall ill, desperation creeps in. With the colony at a breaking point, rumors of a wrecked truck filled with food give them hope, but it lies far beyond the forest, where even the cats won’t go.
Included in Scurry, is a two-page READER'S GUIDE. The full TEACHER'S GUIDE can be found on SkyboundComet.com. -

Thing
Happy has lived at the Bronx Zoo for most of her 48 years, and for more than a decade has remained largely isolated and lonely. Like all elephants, Happy has a complex mind and a deep social, intellectual, and emotional life; she desires to make choices and has a sense of self-recognition. But like all nonhuman animals, Happy is considered a thing in the eye of the law, with no fundamental rights. Due to a series of groundbreaking legal cases, however, this is beginning to change—and Happy’s liberation is at the forefront. A vibrant and personal graphic novel, Thing: Inside the Struggle for Animal Personhood traces this moving story and makes the legal and scientific case for animal personhood.
Led by lawyer Steven M. Wise and aided by some of the world’s most respected animal behavior and cognition scientists, the Nonhuman Rights Project has filed cases on behalf of nonhuman animals like Happy since 2013. Through this work, they have forced courts to consider the evidence of their clients’ cognitive abilities and their legal arguments for personhood, opening the door for similar cases worldwide. In Thing, comic artists Sam Machado and Cynthia Sousa Machado bring together Wise’s groundbreaking work and their powerful illustrations in the first graphic nonfiction book about the animal personhood movement. Beginning with Happy’s story and the central ideas behind animal rights, Thing then turns to the scientists that are revolutionizing our understanding of the minds of nonhuman animals such as great apes, elephants, dolphins, and whales. As we learn more about these creatures’ inner lives and autonomy, the need for the greater protections provided by legal rights becomes ever more urgent.
With cases like Happy’s growing in number and spanning from Argentina to India, nations around the world are beginning to recognize the rights of animals. Combining legal and social history, innovative science, and illustrated storytelling, Thing presents a visionary new way of relating to the nonhuman world. -

Cruzando el bosque

Tambien hay lobos y encantamientos dificiles de romper a no ser que te atrevas a hacerlo, siempre cruzando el bosque,"--Amazon.com.

Tomboy. Una chica ruda / Tomboy: A Graphic Memoir
Tomboy. Una chica ruda acompaña a una galardonada artista y autora a través de los años de su infancia y adolescencia, y explora, con humor, honestidad e intensidad, lo que significa "ser una chica".
Su autora, Liz Prince, ha sido ilustradora para Adventure Time, Steven Universe y Regular Show.
Al crecer, Liz Prince no era una niña muy femenina que digamos, no se ponía tutús rosas ni jugaba a ser una dulce princesa como las demás niñas de su vecindario. Pero tampoco era exactamente uno de los chicos. Era más bien algo en medio. Pero con las presiones de la secundaria, la preparatoria, los papás, la amistad y el romance empujándola hacia todos lados, ese "en medio" no era precisamente un lugar fácil en el cual estar.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Growing up, Liz Prince wasn't a girly girl, dressing in pink tutus or playing Pretty Pretty princess like the other girls in her neighborhood. But she wasn't exactly one of the guys either, as she quickly learned when her Little League baseball coach exiled her to the outfield instead of letting her take the pitcher's mound. Liz was somewhere in the middle, and "Tomboy" is the story of her struggle to find the place where she belonged.
Tomboy is a graphic novel about refusing gender boundaries, yet unwittingly embracing gender stereotypes at the same time, and realizing later in life that you can be just as much of a girl in jeans and a T-shirt as you can in a pink tutu. A memoir told anecdotally, Tomboy follows author and zine artist Liz Prince through her early childhood into adulthood and explores her ever-evolving struggles and wishes regarding what it means to "be a girl."
From staunchly refuting anything she perceived as being "girly" to the point of misogyny, to discovering through the punk community that your identity is whatever you make of it, regardless of your gender, Tomboy is as much humorous and honest as it is at points uncomfortable and heartbreaking. -
Mafalda: Femenino Singular / Mafalda: Feminine singular
Por primera vez recopiladas en un libro, todas las tiras «feministas» de Mafalda.
Mafalda, la irreverente niña que ha deleitado a generaciones con su visión humorística del mundo en que vivimos, es una de las más ilustres feministas de nuestra época.
Cincuenta años después de su nacimiento, cuando movimientos como Time's Up o #MeToo han dado eco a mujeres de todo el mundo y la lucha por los derechos de las mujeres está más que nunca en el candelero, su lectura del mundo sigue en plena vigencia. Las viñetas del genial Quino adquieren hoy una fuerza extraordinaria y nos ayudan a tomar conciencia del camino recorrido y por recorrer para conseguir la igualdad de género.
Las viñetas recogidas en este volumen dan buena cuenta del carácter feminista de esta niña que a sus seis años reivindica la curiosidad, la educación, el espíritu crítico y el papel de la mujer en el mundo, y que no está dispuesta a convertirse en un ama de casa de clase media dedicada a los quehaceres domésticos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
For the first time ever compiled in a book, these are the feminist Mafalda strips.
Mafalda, the saucy and smart-alecky girl who has delighted generations with her humorous vision of the world we live in, is one of the most notorious feminists of our time.
Fifty years after her birth, when movements like Time's Up or #MeToo have echoed women’s voices throughout the world, and the struggle for women's rights is in the spotlight, her interpretation of the world is now more realistic than ever. Quino’s famous vignettes have an extraordinary force today, and they help us be aware of the path already traveled and the one still to travel in order to achieve gender equality.
The vignettes compiled in this volume offer a good look into Mafalda’s feminist character, a girl who at six years-old, embodies curiosity, education, critical thinking, and the role of women in the world. She is not willing to become a middle-class housewife devoted to household chores. -
