Howling at the Moon: Vampires & Werewolves in the New World
by Kim EtingoffFrom the steaming jungles of the Amazon, to the ice-bound Arctic, the Sonora Desert, and the dark forests of the Appalachian Mountains--North, Central, and South America have their own unique varieties of vampires and shape-shifting man-beasts. A rich tradition of frightening myths and ghastly folk tales going back centuries before the Europeans came to the New World, blending with the folklore of newer immigrants, and rising like an eerie mist from the fertile mix of American cultures, our part of the world has no shortage of blood-drinking monsters and werewolves. Native Americans told tales of night-stalking corpses rising from their graves, the Ancient Aztecs with their blood-soaked cosmology left a legacy of terror tales to modern Mexico, and the howling of wolves (or is it the loup garou?) still pierces the bitter Quebec night.
Hoy estoy... Celoso (Hoy estoy... #1)
by Clara Peñalver Nune MartínezHoy estoy... Celoso es un libro de la serie «Hoy estoy...», una colección de cuentos para trabajar las emociones con los más pequeños. Una historia sencilla, dulce y tierna para ayudar a nuestros hijos a gestionar y superar los CELOS. Llamamos «celos» a esa reacción de miedo que sentimos cuando tenemos la sensación de estar perdiendo o de haber pedido algún beneficio emocional (amor, afecto, atención, cariño, reconocimiento...), sea esta situación real o imaginaria. Y hablamos de BENEFICIO porque entendemos que nos pertenece o que lo merecemos. En los niños, este sentimiento puede aparecer por la llegada de un nuevo hermano, por las demostraciones de afecto entre los padres, por un cambio de preferencia entre los amigos, por una alteración en los horarios familiares... Antes que nada, debemos comprender que sentir celos es natural y bueno, sirven para que el niño reclame sus necesidades emocionales mientras es dependiente y nos permite enseñarle a enfrentarse a la frustración de la mejor forma posible. Lo malo de los celos está en los comportamientos que en ocasiones pueden aparecer: cambios de humor, agresividad, rabietas, regreso a comportamientos superados, subida de la voz... ¿Qué podemos hacer para evitarlo? En primer lugar, siempre prevenir, preparándole para las situaciones que pudieran generar esos celos, dándole información, buscando el equilibrio y fomentando su participación y responsabilidad. Si aparecen, y van a aparecer, ¡mantened la calma! Podemos preguntarle al niño por lo que siente, mostrarle nuestra comprensión, ayudarle a entenderlo y a encontrar una forma adecuada para expresarlo, usando para ello metáforas y ejemplos. Prometerle atención y tiempo es una buena manera de enseñarle a retrasar sus necesidades, pero cuidado con lo que prometemos, porque es indispensable que lo cumplamos. Y, ante todo, recordemos que los celos son normales y veamos en ellos una oportunidad para ayudar a crecer a nuestros hijos. «No podemos elegir qué sentir, pero sí podemos decidir qué hacer con lo que sentimos y, por supuesto, podemos enseñar a nuestros hijos a hacer lo mejor con aquello que sienten.»
Hoy estoy... Enfadado (Hoy estoy... #2)
by Clara Peñalver Nune MartínezHoy estoy... Enfadado es un libro de la serie «Hoy estoy...», una colección de cuentos para trabajar las emociones con los más pequeños. Una historia sencilla, dulce y tierna para ayudar a nuestros hijos a gestionar y superar la IRA. Llamamos «ira» a esa energía que surge en nuestro interior cuando algo nos genera frustración, tensión o malestar, llevándonos al enfado y, en ocasiones, a la agresividad. Aumenta el ritmo de nuestro corazón, tensa nuestros músculos y nos prepara para actuar. En los niños, este sentimiento puede aparecer ante un trato injusto, con alguna tarea que no le sale, al no conseguir un capricho, por el incumplimiento de una promesa, si le quitan un juguete... La Ira tiene su función, no lo olvidemos. Sirve para que el niño se defienda ante situaciones injustas o para que se esfuercen más ante determinados retos. Si bloqueamos este sentimiento en nuestrohijo, sólo lograremos aumentar su malestar y terminará convirtiéndose en agresividad o violencia, y eso es lo último que queremos, ¿verdad? ¿Qué hacemos entonces? Debemos ayudar al niño a reconocer y a redirigir este sentimiento, explicándole cómo nos afecta y enseñándole formas adecuadas para gastar esa energía: hablar de aquello que les enoja, buscar el apoyo de los mayores, cambiar la forma de afrontar esa tarea difícil... ¿Y si aparece la agresividad? Como siempre... ¡mantened la calma! Debemos ser firmes y serenos, nunca agresivos, evitando culpar a nuestro hijo con expresiones como «eres malo». Es mejor reprender la conducta y dar tiempo al niño para pensar en ello. Por supuesto, regañar o castigar no es suficiente. Una vez se reduzca la agresividad, es importante explicarle las consecuencias de lo que ha pasado para que asuma su responsabilidad, y darle alternativas. Pero ¡ojo! Debemos ser razonables y comprender que, a veces, el enfado está justificado a pesar del mal. «No podemos elegir qué sentir, pero sí podemos decidir qué hacer con lo que sentimos y, por supuesto, podemos enseñar a nuestros hijos a hacer lo mejor con aquello que sienten.»

Hubcaps and Puppies
by Rosemary NelsonIt’s not easy having your own father for a teacher, but that’s only one of twelve-year-old Nikki’s problems. Her beloved dog has died, leaving a gaping hole in her life, which is thrown into further turmoil by the arrival of her long-lost eccentric grandmother from Australia. Life is pretty tense around Nikki’s house, but Nikki relaxes by taking long rides on her horse and visiting a nearby secluded pond inhabited by a rare species of turtle. Things do begin to get brighter when she receives an unwanted, runt puppy as a birthday present. She names the ugly little Border Collie Lucky and he flourishes under her care. As she and her grandmother begin working together, first of all at preparing a garden and then at training Lucky for the local agility trials, they eventually become friends and the grandmother begins telling Nikki about her crusades for the environment in Australia. When Nikki finds out that developers are planning to fill in her special pond to build a housing estate, wiping out the turtles’ habitat, she decides to take a dangerous stand on the animals’ behalf. But can she really take on a big developer and win? Hubcaps and Puppies is not only a story about a girl, her dog and her horse, but also about the protection of the environment and the lessons that the older generation may have to teach the younger if they are willing to listen. Nelson writes in a fast-moving and energetic style, but her characters and situations are always realistic and believable.

Huck's Raft: A History of American Childhood
by Steven MintzLike Huck's raft, the experience of American childhood has been both adventurous and terrifying. For more than three centuries, adults have agonized over raising children while children have followed their own paths to development and expression. Now, Steven Mintz gives us the first comprehensive history of American childhood encompassing both the child's and the adult's tumultuous early years of life. Underscoring diversity through time and across regions, Mintz traces the transformation of children from the sinful creatures perceived by Puritans to the productive workers of nineteenth-century farms and factories, from the cosseted cherubs of the Victorian era to the confident consumers of our own. He explores their role in revolutionary upheaval, westward expansion, industrial growth, wartime mobilization, and the modern welfare state. Revealing the harsh realities of children's lives through history--the rigors of physical labor, the fear of chronic ailments, the heartbreak of premature death--he also acknowledges the freedom children once possessed to discover their world as well as themselves. Whether at work or play, at home or school, the transition from childhood to adulthood has required generations of Americans to tackle tremendously difficult challenges. Today, adults impose ever-increasing demands on the young for self-discipline, cognitive development, and academic achievement, even as the influence of the mass media and consumer culture has grown. With a nod to the past, Mintz revisits an alternative to the goal-driven realities of contemporary childhood. An odyssey of psychological self-discovery and growth, this book suggests a vision of childhood that embraces risk and freedom--like the daring adventure on Huck's raft.

Hudson
by Janice Weaver David CraigHistory has not been kind to Henry Hudson. He's been dismissed as a short-tempered man who played favorites with his crew and had an unstoppable ambition and tenacity. Although he gave his name to a mighty river, an important strait, and a huge bay, today he is remembered more for the mutiny that took his life. The grandson of a trader, Hudson sailed under both British and Dutch flags, looking for a northern route to China. Although none of his voyages led to the discovery of a northwest passage, he did explore what is now Hudson's Bay and what is now New York City.Whatever his personal shortcomings, to sail through dangerous, ice-filled waters with only a small crew in a rickety old boat, he must have been someone of rare courage and vision. In Hudson, Janice Weaver has created a compelling portrait of a man who should be remembered not for his tragic end, but for the way he advanced our understanding of the world.From the Hardcover edition.
