Un Beso en Mi Mano

Audrey Penn
Tanglewood Press, Inc., 2006, Picture Book, Libro Illustrado

This a sweet book about a little raccoon that does not want to leave his mom to go to school, so mom finds a sweet way to  make it easy for him to go to school and still feel connected with her. I thought it was a very sweet book, the illustrations are bright and helpful to tell this sweet tale. A must read to your little ones who are embarking on this new and sometimes uneasy time in their life.

Este libro es muy tierno, acerca de un pequeƱo mapache que esta teniendo problemas de despegar de su mama para ir a la escuela, su mama encuentra una manera muy tierna de ayudarlo y a la ves que  se senta ligado a ella unque este fuera de casa. Me encantó este libro lleno de ternura hacia su cachorrito para hacerlo sentir bien y ayudarlo a sentirse seguro donde quiera que este. Este libro es recomendable para todos , pero especialmente para familias con niƱos de edad de ir a la escuela, y que no se sienten muy seguros.

Review: The Factory

The Factory By Catherine Egan New York, NY : Scholastic Inc., 2025. Fiction. 306 pages.  Thirteen-year-old Asher Doyle has been invited to join the Factory, a secretive research facility in the desert which ostensibly extracts renewable energy from the electromagnetic fields of its young recruits. But Asher soon realizes something sinister is going on. Kids are getting sick. The adults who run the Factory seem to be keeping secrets. And the extraction process is not only painful and exhausting, but existentially troubling. Asher makes a handful of new friends who help him with an investigation that turns into a resistance, which turns into...a cliffhanger! The Factory is a page-turning sci-fi with multidimensional characters, an intriguing plot, and refreshingly straight-forward writing. Egan weaves in detail about climate crises and social unrest, making the story's dystopian setting feel rich and plausible. With its sophisticated themes and accessible storytelling, I would recomm...
