When a baby is born, it is accompanied with an inconceivable amount of happiness. We make wishes of a lucky life, and, the best ones among these wishes are inside this work of art.

 

Carlota the sheep climbs trees, she dives into the stream and she even goes up the sharpest rocks. All these things are uncharacteristic of a sheep and the rest of her flock reproaches her about it. However, one day the shepherd has an accident and there is only one able to get help: Carlota.

Carlota the Sheep was awarded by The New York Times as “the best picture book of the year”.

 

Critics have said:

“A sweet story that, in addition, helps you to overcome your own fears” (Brigitte).

“You become fond of Carlota the sheep at once” (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung).

Carlota is a little wild thing and you can’t help it. But, what about those strange friends she has? Why on Earth does she have to play in the mud with Francisco the pig? Why playing head butt with Cuniberto the bull? Has anyone ever seen a sheep diving with the ducks? Surely you have not. That is not charasteristic of a sheep! At least, this is the way the elders think. But one day, two sheep and Charly, the old shepherd dog, are reported missing. Suddenly, someone that has got with really good friends is needed to pursue the adventure.

 

“Anu Stohner and Henrike Wilson have made Carlota the sheep a heroine that will immediately win our heart” (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung).

 

“a wise choice for a children’s picture book” (Salzburger Nachrichten).

"I was sitting in my room one night, all snug and comfy, when there was a knock on the door. Now who might it be but my friend!"

 

Now, that's as snug and promising a beginning to a never-ending book as one could wish for, isn't it? The bear gets a visit from the fox, who is in turn visited by the hare, the squirrel goes to see the hare and is visited by the owl. And the owl? Well, the owl is comfortably ensconced in her wing chair knitting happily. But who could ever be in need of such a long scarf as this? Well, if it isn't her friend, the big brown bear, whom we've already met at the very beginning!

 

Henrike Wilson's cosy pictures tell a story that is no less exciting for being simple, and which never really comes to an end.  Not only will the readers enjoy guessing who it might be now knocking on the door, but they'll be amazed at what all those animals of the forest will get up to of a night, how and where they live, and how glad they are to have their friens over.

 

This is a great book about friendship, and about the art of storytelling - you couldn't ask more for a bedtime story!

¡Ha llegado el otoño! Es hora de que la ardilla recoja avellanas para el invierno. Ya tiene cinco. Quiere ocultarlas bien y se pone manos a la obra con entusiasmo. Sin embargo, no se da cuenta de que está siendo observada por otros animales. Cuando todo está cubierto de nieve, Ardilla busca y busca sus tesoros y se sorprende: las cuatro primeras han desaparecido, ¿y la quinta?


"... Un relato desnudo de artificios que capta, a través del simpático periplo de la protagonista, el cambio de tonalidades que se producen en la naturaleza a medida que avanzan las estaciones" (Canal Lector).

Muy, pero que muy lejos de aquí, un día vino al mundo un bebé pingüino que era distinto al resto. "Yo también sé limarme las paletas", dijo el pequeño pingüino al ver que los demás se limpiaban las aletas. "Y también visto de banco y negro", añadió.
"¿Y a ese que le pasa?", exclamaron los otros pingüinos muertos de risa. El bebé pingüino se puso cada vez más triste. ¿Qué podía hacer para que no se burlaran?
Hasta que por fin tuvo una idea: "¡Me varcho de miaje!", anunció, pero no creyeron que pudiera irse de viaje él solo.

¡Pero vaya si lo hizo!

Un álbum ilustrado sobre el cariño y la diferencia, sobre la curiosidad y la sorpresa.
