A children's book combines poetry and illustration to investigate the ways of inhabiting the everyday.

"What circulates prior to alphabetic reading is poetry, the first thing that comes to us from literature."

"We want to build a bridge between our childhood and that of our children."

The Super 8. A mysterious beginning, by Melina Pogorelsky (Ralenti). With illustrations by Sabina Álvarez Schürmann and Carolina Romano, it is the first volume of a children's saga by an author that I love. In this book, a group of girls become friends after discovering that their parents (who have known each other since childhood) have a secret that they carry from their youth. The story, full of humor and intrigue, takes place in a campsite closed to the public, where Las Super 8 spend their vacations. Pogorelsky's book is one of the first titles published by the new Ralenti label, founded by publishers Joana D'Alessio and Violeta Noetinger. I highly recommend it for girls and boys from 8 to 11 years old.

With the mandatory quarantine and social isolation, access to culture is being modified and it is no longer possible to get together to enjoy a play or a book presentation. Publishers, streaming channels and different artists are opening their content for free access.

With humor and a lot of imagination, this book shows us that you can make good poetry with any vegetable.

The Super 8. A summer of film, by Melina Pogorelsky and Maricel Santin (Ralenti). The second part of the Super 8 saga is recharged: with illustrations by Carolina Romano and Sabina Álvarez Schürmann, this volume incorporates narrative resources such as comics, fragments of film scripts and even recipes. All together, the result is a fascinating book that readers who have enjoyed the first part will not be able to see to the end. Although, in reality, it can also be read "loose" because in the first pages the authors take up the plot to locate the story of the seven friends (with crossed relatives) who meet again at a campsite a year after having discovered a mystery involving to their respective parents. This time, the girls set out to film a zombie movie to present in a local competition. Adventures, suspense, humor and nods to millennials in this soon-to-be-third-part story.

Ralenti launched the Miniatures collection, aimed at children from 0 to 4 years old, with texts by Laura Wittner and illustrations by Clau Degliuomini and Cristian Turdera, among others.

“HELLO, HELLO, WAKE UP, ATTENTION!

WE'RE ABOUT TO PLAY A SONG. "

Thus begins this book that invites and proposes an orchestra. A book that is part of an initiative that makes more books possible for younger people. Older babies, boys and girls who are just starting to read and read to the little ones.

It is a project carried out by the Ralenti publishing house together with Lecturita (Children's Book Club). This initiative made possible the Miniatures collection: four beautiful titles to read, play and chew on. In a small, square format, in cardboard. Ideal for the autonomous enjoyment of the little ones.

What orchestra is this? It is a book that invites you to play and sing. It is reminiscent of the happiness of listening and looking at the same time Pícolo, Saxo y Compañía, by André Popp and Jean Broussolle, with illustrations by Jesús Gaban. A book to read and listen, play and dance, sing and play.

The rhyme of each page is accompanied by Aimar's expressive illustrations, which, in turn, tell a story that occurs in parallel. Animals that are added, along with the instruments. A delight

A highly recommended book for the smallest people in the house, but also the capital print encourages those who venture to read alone. Book beauty. If you are left wanting more, there are three other beautiful titles, also written by Laura: Let a shower fall !, illustrated by Clau Degliuomini (who comes with a long sheet to paint), What a plate !, illustrated by Federico Bonifacini and What a good time we had! illustrated by Cristian Turdera.
