Book SynopsisEl mundo parecía haberse vuelto loco. la avaricia, el poder, la corrupción y la indiferencia contaminaban la sociedad en todos los continentes. Judith vivió una época convulsa que le llevó a luchar por un sueño. Clara, su hija, tras comprender los acontecimientos del pasado de Europa y el resto de países, decidirá cuál es el verdadero sentido de su vida.El comportamiento individualizado de las personas, nuestros actos, nos llevarán de modo global a todos hacia un mismo destino. El que nosotros escojamos. El egoísmo y odio hacia la destrucción. El respeto y la empatía con lo que nos rodea, hacia una convivencia en armonía con el universo. Nuestro entorno.He aquí el hilo, el punto de partida de dos historias que quieren mostrarse cercanas al lector. Esta podría ser la ficción de un futuro, no muy lejano, que se une a otra historia ubicada en el pasado, llena de recuerdos de una época, una ciudad, una sociedad, y un bastidor de un artista…ambas historias avanzan simultáneamente. “Tal vez, al llegar al final, algo me sugiera o me dé una pista, entonces sentiré que es el momento de firmarla, no tocarla más y empezar otra nueva. Pero mientras no suceda así, mi mente busca entre los recuerdos. Trata de tejer un orden, encontrar un color, una armonía y un equilibrio para que todo se sostenga y de ese modo, uniéndolos unos a otros, completar la obra.” Marta Mañes.

Drawn & Quarterly The Moomins and the Great Flood
Book SynopsisJoin the Moomins in their very first adventure, crossing a huge flood to search for missing Moominpappa!Moominmamma and Moomintroll need to find a home for the winter, someplace where sun is plentiful and safe from the dangers of the unknown. But before they can settle down, they must cross a dark and sinister forest and find their way through a flood of epic proportions, all the while hoping that they will find Moominpappa again. Their journey seems daunting but they forge ahead, with Moominmamma's kindness and patience giving Moomin the courage he needs to face the strange, unexplored path that lies ahead of them.Written during the 1939-40 Finnish-Soviet Union conflict, or The Winter War, Jansson uses the unusual setting of a natural catastrophe to provide the background of her first children's book and the first appearance of her beloved Moomin characters. She wrote this as her escape from the horrors of war and its many consequences, but rather than avoiding the problems that war raises, she uses these as a basis for the many obstacles that the characters face, from separated families to forced displacement. With beautiful black and white artwork interspersed throughout the text and curious, playful prose, you find yourself rooting for the Moomins and their quest to find Moominpappa and a place to call home.

The things that we talk about when we talk about comics, Halo Jones should have been one of them." - Neil Gaiman."The story of an ordinary woman, not a superhero or special snowflake, but a woman who made her own story... a character that represented the everywoman...The Ballad of Halo Jones broke the mould... remarkably timeless" - The Independent"Groundbreaking feminist heroine... one of the comic industry's strongest role models" -The Guardian"Exponentially cooler than knock-offs like Tank Girl, mostly because she remains a fed-up real person amid the wild space opera of her universe" - Empire"Halo Jones was my first love. Or maybe my first role model.

In a world of increasing insecurity, not only politically but personally (body image, place in society, material wealth, sense of self), Halo Jones offers a critique of, and a refuge from, the absurdities of an uncertain world." - Tribe "Revolutionary" - Mookychick

Astra Publishing House We Are All Me
Book SynopsisA poetic and lyrical picture book, bursting with colors, about our interdependent world, from cell to self and seed to sky. "With bright artwork and a spare, poetic text, this inviting comic for little ones takes on a truly gigantic topic: the interconnectedness of the universe... It’s eye-catching stuff, and the tone of the text is general enough that, if the concept soars over the heads of little ones, they’ll still be able to grasp the overall message, which is warm, encouraging, and hopeful."--BooklistTrade Review"This far-reaching metaphysical outing, an addition to Toon’s early reader comics series, focuses on the microscopic and the immense as well as individuality and collectivity. With abstract, psychedelic art, Crane introduces a white, moonlike orb that grows arms and emerges from the darkness after a page turn: “I am one.” The being next appears—smiling, with its arms outstretched—within the chest of a second, long-limbed figure. As the book moves along, the book shows this being as a part of an interconnected whole that comprises the planet and its fundamental materials (“made of air/ and of cloud/ made of water/ and of earth/ and seed”) until the materials become flesh (“of leaf and fruit/ and bug and bee/ and bone and meat”). As the book zooms into the biological, readers glimpse the inside of a neon pink bird’s stomach and the ventricles of a beating heart, and atoms are rendered as dramatic, kaleidoscopic forms. Finally, as the book zooms back out, long-limbed beings join the first figure, all with similar orbs that grow from their chests, connecting and pooling together: “We are all one.” This is a strange and lovely meditation on wholeness." Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW "With bright artwork and a spare, poetic text, this inviting comic for little ones takes on a truly gigantic topic: the interconnectedness of the universe... It’s eye-catching stuff, and the tone of the text is general enough that, if the concept soars over the heads of little ones, they’ll still be able to grasp the overall message, which is warm, encouraging, and hopeful." Booklist ?"It’s just an excellent book, period. Essentially, it falls into the same category of The Same Stuff As Stars, but goes granular. It may even contain the most beautiful rendering of DNA I’ve ever seen in a picture book. Prepare to have your little mind blown (and in shockingly few words too)." Betsy Bird for School Library Journal "The language is poetic but accessible...a worthwhile purchase for libraries seeking additional beginning readers." School Library Journal One of Paul Gravett's Top 25 Graphic Novels of September 2018 "Sparse text that can be inferred from the artwork and striking illustrations in day-glo colors make this an accessible title for new readers. Some of the spreads are downright gorgeous, as they depict in detail how seeds grow or a human heart." Youth Services Book Review "The ways in which these concepts are illustrated is the reason [young readers] will sit and turn the pages." ICv2 "This seemingly simple book about interdependence reminds us that we are all made of the same stuff, and that we are part of the bigger world." Angela Reynolds, Librarian Rob Clough analyzes the visual devices that makes We Are All Me flow and convey meaning at High Low Comics: Design king Crane's We Are All Me is deceptively simple. Another Level One book, there's just a few words of text on each page. However, the book is conceptually complex, as Jordan asks the reader to shift their perspective multiple times. He starts out exploring our relationship with the environment as the pages bleed into each other in terms of color. Air, water and earth flow into one another as smoothly as Crane's crisp color patterns. There's just a joyous rhythm to this comic, both in terms of visuals and words, like the lines "and bone and meat/and beat beat beat". Flipping over to the heart with the last line, there's an explosion of pink, orange, and blue on the page as Crane went in the opposite direction, going smaller and smaller until he reaches the subatomic level. Crane goes beyond that to make some interesting claims regarding sentience arising at that level and that all of it (and us) are connected. Heady stuff, but Crane clearly respects his audience enough to think them capable of understanding it conceptually. Thanks to his bold and dynamic use of color, he's right to think so.Finalist for 2019 Excellence In Graphic Literature Award, Best in Children's Graphic Literature (Nonfiction)!
