Ficción general (infantil/juvenil)

How do you explain something like the Paris or Brussels attacks to a child? This book could help both children and parents. Millions of parents across the globe struggle to explain to their children the horrific events that happen in Paris, Brussels, Ankara, Jakarta, Istanbul, Beirut, Grand-Bassam, Yaounde, Mogadishu, Ouagadougou, Lahore, etc. Since other children or adults at school will probably mention them or talk about them, how do you explain something like that to a child? For a children’s author, this has to be the most difficult piece to write. After hours trying to put into easy words various feelings and images he had seen from TV footage and internet reports, J.N. PAQUET eventually wrote a story, which he thinks might help children and parents when such terrible events happen. The text of the story is as specific and at the same time as general as possible, so that it could be read to any child anywhere, because terrorism acts are not confined to one location only. ---   ADVICE TO PARENTS:  Sometimes, what we imagine can be worse than what we actually see. That's why expressing our feeling through writing or drawing can help free our mind, and so, help us to move on. “It is crucial that children can talk about their feelings following these senseless killings, and are given reassurance and support.” (Peter Wanless / Chief executive of the NSPCC) If you are still unsure what to say or what to do to explain something like a terrorist attack to your children, follow the NSPCC advice to parents on talking about difficult topics: www.nspcc.org.uk/talkingtips For more advice you may also watch the video "How should you talk to your children about terrorism": www.thetimes.co.uk/nspcc/ Finally, for more information, visit the NSPCC website: www.nspcc.org.uk (The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) is a charity campaigning and working in child protection in the United Kingdom and the Channel Islands.)

Not quite 20 years-old, Kalld and his female sidekick, Kivi, are trail scouts for a squad of roving baseball players, leading them through the treacherous post-World War III landscape.  Their destination is no longer just the next town, but a mysterious doomsday shrine which holds the promise for earth’s future.  Not only can the knowledge found here rid the planet of the mad religious cult that has prevented progress but it can stop the growing hold that aliens from another planet are extending over the earth, seeking to make it their world.  But the trek to the shrine is a perilous one.  Traps have been laid by both the aliens and religious fanatics.  And the dangers of the mutant-populated countryside are everywhere.  The two young scouts have a great destiny to fill as the rest of earth’s history will be determined by the course they set to reach the mysterious shrine.The story follows their journey through a world broiling under a radioactive sky heated by a constant sun. The small squad of heroes is joined by a disabled genius who has created a scientific marvel which can help them escape the many snares around them. Crisis after crisis confronts them.  Upon entering a town that had been completely untouched by the nuclear war they are imprisoned there as lunatics.  After escaping they are in quick succession trapped in a plain filled with thousands of magnetized, gyrating skeletons; hunted by packs of hairy, half-naked, inbred maniacs who live under former highway overpasses and are called “Bridgers;” swallowed in a living chasm of rock to only then be helped to the surface by a mutant species of humanlike leprechaun-sized people. Once the doomsday squad survive these ordeals, its worst battle begin at the site of the mysterious shrine!

Gulliver al país de Lil·liput és una producció del Centre de Titelles de Lleida adreçada als infants i al públic familiar, que va ser estrenada l’any 1994. Un muntatge teatral amb actors i titelles, a partir de la novel·la de Jonathan Swift. En Gulliver, tot i que és un marrec, es deleix per ser mariner, fer-se a la mar amb un veler i viure mil aventures. Però haurà d’esperar a ser un home fet i dret per veure del tot acomplert el seu somni. Una tempesta, llavors, li enfonsa la nau i el mar l’arrossega fins una terra desconeguda, habitada per gent tan menuda que, al seu costat, en Gulliver és tot un gegant, i ja se sap; els gegants fan respecte, creen desconcert, temences, recels..., però també cal imaginar que tenir un gegant amic, és tenir un amic de pes. Aquest muntatge és talment una rondalla teatral i un cant a la diversitat, a la bona entesa i l’amistat.
