Matzo Ball Moon
by Lesléa NewmanFrom the book: Just as the leaves tumble down from the trees every fall, and the flowers blossom every spring, Eleanor's grandmother, Bubbe, makes chicken soup with matzo balls every Passover. This year is no exception. With Eleanor's help, Bubbe makes some of the lumpiest, bumpiest, yummiest-looking matzo balls Eleanor has ever seen. These matzo balls are so delicious that no one in Eleanor's family can resist sneaking a taste, each thinking one or two matzo balls will never be missed. But when it comes time to serve the soup at the Passover meal, there aren't enough matzo balls for everyone-until Eleanor find one last matzo ball in a very unexpected place! Warm, cheerful illustrations complement this gentle story of a family's celebration of the Passover holiday and their rediscovery of its true meaning. A special note detailing the food and traditions of Passover is included at the end of the book.
Matías y Emma en una jaula de oro
by Cecilia CurbeloLa vida de los mellizos Matías y Emma, de 15 años, está a punto de cambiar para siempre. La vida de los mellizos Matías y Emma da un vuelco cuando, a causa de la pandemia por coronavirus, son obligados a mudarse con su padre, con quien comparten los fines de semana o algunos días en vacaciones. Matías, disléxico como su papá, lo tiene en un pedestal: para él su padre es casi un superhéroe. Para Emma, muy crítica con el mundo que la rodea, su padre es irresponsable y superficial, porque, entre otras cosas, cambia de auto cada año y vive en Khronos, el edificio más glamoroso de la ciudad. A medida que pasan los días, la convivencia entre los tres se torna difícil, asfixiante por las severas restricciones que supone la pandemia. En paralelo, descubrirán que nadie es lo que parece a simple vista, ni nosotros mismos ni -mucho menos- aquellos a quienes creemos conocer. Khronos no es la excepción: bajo esa fachada de lujo y perfección, esconde secretos capaces de trastocar para siempre la vida de todos.
