Her research work has taken her to many different countries where she has coordinated multidisciplinary and multicultural work teams.

At the present time she is coordinating three clinical trials with experimental drugs—two involving Phase I-II gene therapy on diseases which can be transferred from animals to humans. A tribute to optimism, hope and the beauty of life from every possible way of appearance. En palabras de la propia autora, Medrar nas mans tiene dos partes: Co paso do tempo vai medrando entre eles unha bonita amizade. Andrea and Breixo meet each other at a park, while playing at the swings. As time goes by, they forge a beautiful friendship.

Andrea feels very upset. Both of them dream about meeting again. Days later, chance —or maybe fate— makes it possible for them to meet each other again at the same park. Emotions overwhelm the two friends. A father and his four children embark on an adventure that will take them across a grass field, a river, a forest… until they arrive into a cave where a bear makes them flee back home.

By using a traditional song, Michael Rosen makes up a simple text with a rhymed, repetitive structure which ends changing the order of the actions. An ideal album for first readers, interspersed onomatopoeias describe the family movements, making it a dynamic reading. Andrea y Breixo se conocen en un parque, mientras juegan en los columpios. Con el paso del tiempo va creciendo entre ellos una bonita amistad. Andrea se siente muy triste. Very simple, it is at the same time universal, close to children and accessible for readers of all ages and cultures. The poem is complemented by exuberant colourful images in which nature is present from the very beginning to the very end.

Mariana Ruiz Johnson wanted to express her maternity experience from an artistic and literary approach. Blues, yellows, reds, greens… intense colours harmoniously contrasting among each other in an album that highlights Mother Nature: Given their colourful feathers, their slender figure and their enviable flying skills, birds usually wake up children curiosity. Suddenly, a hairdresser, a couple of dancers, a knitting-lover grandma, and some other Fortunately, before he ends up losing his temper, and his judgement, he comes up with a practical idea.

It is starred by very different animals: The tale makes up a postcard about biodiversity in which fantasy comes included. Art as a display of knowledge and culture all around the world; as creativity and freedom expression; as path to transform reality. It will help him focus on his hopes: The author shares with readers his two big passions: Arrangements and adaptations have been made by Magoia Bodega and Paulo Nogueira, both musicians and educators.

And both —as well— members of the group Treixadura, which is closely linked to different projects focus on widely spreading traditional Galician music. Renato feels sad because his antlers get tangled in the trees. So the rest of animals tease him. Trying to find a solution, something will happen that will make him realize how insignificant his problem seems to be when compared it with true problems.

So strong visually and with such a narrative strength, illustrations allow words to be absent in some of the pages. Appealingly designed, expressive and simplified figures have been used, only highlighted by a basic chromatic scale: A simple tale structured as a list of premises. The main characters are animals of different species proving they can live together in harmony: Even humans are present to reinforce identification by readers. Illustrations help finding the sense of humour. Their isolation is confronted to the progressive interaction of the children and to the absolute freedom of the two pets.

Illustrations come brimming with details foreign to the text: Tarzan and Charlotte, the Statue of Liberty…. The status of bonobos and bonobas was unequal within the forest they all lived in. Bonobos ate what bonobas gathered. Bonobos, the males, travelled, learned and adapted to modernity. However they did not accept bonobas, the females, to evolve. Bonobos teased bonobas, since they wrongly used to think that it was dangerous for a whole mixed group to progress and get equally educated. Until bonobas lost their patience and stopped tolerating that selfish behaviour from bonobos.

An album for pre-readers and first reader, it stands out due to its repetitive and accumulative structure. Throughout the tale the main character is approached by other animals whose voices make sleeping during daytime an impossible task. Besides the approach to fauna and the environment discovering, this book allows a mnemonic game. So it becomes a great book to develop reading strategies in the classroom.

To this charm, a great comical ending is added. A estos alicientes se suma un inesperado final lleno de humor. Instead of telling how the world will be when children of today will become adults, this book reverses the role of narrator and addressees. Contos de auga, de ceo, de terra e de noite. Ter paciencia, valorar a disciplina e obedecer os maiores. Saber escoitar e gozar do silencio, ir afrontando retos para perder os medos, ser prudentes e perseverantes. It comes divided into four sections: Water tales, Sky tales, Earth tales and Night tales. Among the main characters readers will find a nudist turtle, some flying female lizards, some skater snails and a lion wearing a wig.

Small, powerful, shy, playful…, they all empathize with readers. Their charm reinforce the symbolic nature of the stories. To be patient, value discipline and obey adults. To know how to win and lose, to be part of a team, practice comradeship. To be able to listen, and to enjoy silence; to keep facing challenges in order to overcome fears, to be cautious and persistent.

Cuentos de agua, de cielo, de tierra y de noche. Tener paciencia, valorar la disciplina y obedecer a los mayores. Set in the war of , this tale depicts the life at Cangas village in those times —portrayed from the perspective of an orphan boy who is strictly guarded by his aunt and grandfather. Timid, good student and obliged to go to church, the boy will discover the cinema thanks to his restless young brother, Milucho. Eighty pages of poetry and illustrations brimming with luminosity and specially tenderness. This work envelops us with a universe of animals: Ambientada en la guerra del 36, Medre o mar!

Sabela represents positive values such as solidarity and generosity —opposite to technology abuse, greed and lack of freedom. This composition of beautiful illustrations tackles happiness, self-esteem, the little pleasures of living, art and creativity; as well as the rejection of strict capitalism and authoritarianism. Nestes aspectos inciden tanto o texto como as imaxes.

Thus, text and images work together in that direction. The illustrator humanizes the animals in the story: A gesture can be equally important. When Benita hears Ms Xulia screaming, she gets up.

She realizes she has lost her bell. That is how this fun story starts. Benita goes back along her tracks and she will meet other inhabitants: And they offer key information to allow finding the lost object. Sometimes we build impassable walls, built on prejudices, distrust and specially ignorance. That is exactly what happens between this village inhabitants and the Giant of the swamp. The creature and his neighbours feel separated by the wrong stereotype the inhabitants have made about the Giant. A brave and clever girl, Camila will uncover the truth about the creature of the swamp.

Muchas veces levantamos muros infranqueables construidos a base de prejuicios, desconfianza y, sobre todo, desconocimiento. Con todo, o amor todo o pode.
