New Feature: Rat-a-Tat (Picture Book)

Rat-a-Tat

Rat-a-Tat is a silly rat who just loves to eat healthy. On his search for the right food he finds out that there is much more to share than just sneaking around. After an exciting travel he returns to his home, sweet home, with a new foundation, and learning much more than he could ever expect.

Rat-a-Tat
(Choose Options "Fulscreen" then "Book" to turn the pages)

Crack-a-Book
It was the beginning of colonization and many were put into test. And some were persecuted for their own beliefs. Two brave women stood for their own right with somewhat tragic consequences. A bilingual story told with rhymes and illustrations to show how discrimination, misundertanding and even cowardice played a big part in the intolerance of many to a few who faced opposition and persecution.

Alhambra: A pearl set in emeralds


"Stigmas, Enigmas and Stereotypes
"
(A book by Ana C. Antunes)

A salmon coloured edification, a red fortress surrounded by a evergreen forest, Alhambra, in Granada, can be considered a fairy tale. The region abounds in pomegranates, from which probably derives its name, Granutus in Latin meaning 'many seeds', a red fruit which main symbol represents the heart, or love and the affection form from a human being. Or it could also mean "Karnaltah" or Karnattah-al-Yahud, and the Arabic words kurn, " a hill," and nattah, " stranger,"—the " city " or " hill of strangers."
Talking about Moor, mohr and more, I just finished another mini-opera set for children and filled with witty and animated characters. "O tell all" is part of my Shakes Opera Collection based upon Shakespeare's plays. And it's now available in the link: http://www.lulu.com/content/2317248 or you can listen it from the CD (audiobook):
"Shakes Opera"
"O Tell All!" (from the Collection "Shakes Opera")

Cat on the Roof: A Story with Collage of Torn Paper (Chigiri-e)

"The Cat on the Roof"(Chigiri-e with lyrics by Ana Antunes)

There was a cat in the roof
and he looked so very aloof.
The cat saw a fish in the pool
and played with it like a fool.
The cat ate the fish with a smile
and took a small rest for a while.
The cat saw little mouse
who ran inside the house.
He caught a fly, and another one,
maybe he wouldn't eat none alone.
He so looked for the rat to catch
then he still had a meal to match.

Patch me with you, can!

Here is an alternative use for those recycling cans:

Take a large piece of recycled paper and with a sponge embedded with coloured ink, paint the board with the design of your choice and see the effect of it over the paper: it will get a nice textured surface. When it's already dried make four circles, using a can to trace the circumference over the board, and making sure the borders are large enough to be able to fold. Then cut the circles, insert the cans under them and bend the borders. With the circles that were already taken from the board bend them in semicircles and place each one of them in every corner, making sure there is glue enough to make them fit on the surface. Now fill the cans with earth and plant some seeds. Voila! You've got a new decoration for your garden.
