Kids

In 1862 Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a shy Oxford mathematician with a stammer, created a story about a little girl tumbling down a rabbit hole. Thus began the immortal adventures of Alice, perhaps the most popular heroine in English literature. Countless scholars have tried to define the charm of the "Alice "books-with those wonderfully eccentric characters the Queen of Hearts, Tweedledum, and Tweedledee, the Cheshire Cat, Mock Turtle, the Mad Hatter "et al.-"by proclaiming that they really comprise a satire on language, a political allegory, a parody of Victorian children's literature, even a reflection of contemporary ecclesiastical history. Perhaps, as Dodgson might have said, "Alice "is no more than a dream, a fairy tale about the trials and tribulations of growing up-or down, or all turned round-as seen through the expert eyes of a child.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “An imperative call to action” (Nick Offerman) to get children off their screens and into nature, with tips for bonding activities that teach the importance of outside time and build tough, curious, competent kids—from the host of the Netflix series and podcast MeatEater

“A revelation for families struggling to get kids to GO OUTSIDE, or to just stop using the darn smartphone.”—Michaeleen Doucleff, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of Hunt, Gather, Parent

In the era of screens and devices, the average American spends 90 percent of their time indoors, and children are no exception. Not only does this phenomenon have consequences for kids’ physical and mental health, it jeopardizes their ability to understand and engage with anything beyond the built environment. 

Thankfully, with the right mind-set, families can find beauty, meaning, and connection in a life lived outdoors. Here, outdoors expert Steven Rinella shares the parenting wisdom he has garnered as a father whose family has lived amid the biggest cities and wildest corners of America. Throughout, he offers practical advice for getting kids radically engaged with nature in a muddy, thrilling, hands-on way, with the ultimate goal of helping them see their own place within the natural ecosystem. No matter their location—rural, suburban, or urban—caregivers and kids will bond over activities such as: 
• Camping to conquer fears, build tolerance for dirt and discomfort, and savor the timeless pleasure of swapping stories around a campfire. 
• Growing a vegetable garden to develop a capacity to nurture and an appreciation for hard work. 
• Fishing local lakes and rivers to learn the value of patience while grappling with the possibility of failure.
• Hunting for sustainably managed wild game to face the realities of life, death, and what it really takes to obtain our food. 

Living an outdoor lifestyle fosters in kids an insatiable curiosity about the world around them, confidence and self-sufficiency, and, most important, a lifelong sense of stewardship of the natural world. This book helps families connect with nature—and one another—as a joyful part of everyday life.

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.

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.
