Carlos Bravo, A Manos Llenas, Blessings From the Gods by<b> Sylvia Mendoza</b>

Carlos Bravo is one of those soft-spoken souls whose words take on more depth in their storytelling capacity. He appreciates words, languages, literature. As a poet, each word weighs heavy on interpretation and connectivity, emotion and perspective. The poems he’s written freezeframe highlights and lowlights of individuals and society, observations and desires for humankind, emotional and heartfelt snapshots of life in action. The title of his compilation, “AMBROSÍA: A MANOS LLENAS,” gives thanks to the nectar of the gods—and acknowledges that if we accept life’s gifts with open hands, our lives will be filled with abundance.

Small Things Great Love

“Has anyone ever noticed the sensation of their body moving while walking? Or do you get easily distracted and your mind wanders off? Noticing small things like this or even the colors or sounds in your surroundings are part of being present in the moment – this is known as mindfulness. Different techniques in this practice can help with relieving stress.”

School Library August 2018

The award-winning author René Colato Laínez has a very specific purpose for his bilingual/multicultural children’s book. Laínez writes on his website (http://www.renecolatolainez.com/), “My goal as a writer is to produce good multicultural children’s literature; stories where minority children are portrayed in a positive way, where they can see themselves as heroes, and where they can dream and have hopes for the future.” And so we are featuring in this month’s School Library the works of Laínez.
