Malena and the Hungry Lion Race


Book Description

Malena and the Hungry Lion Race was born as a dream. I saw how the people at a certain insurance broker where I worked a long time ago would let their entire life pass by at the keyboard and were clicking thousands of times a day, but that wasnt what they dreamed about or wanted to do. They were unhappy. One day, I asked them, If they could choose, what would they do right then? They surprised me with their answers: they wanted to be painters or writers, to sell coats, or to simply live beside a river. Many people were disillusioned with the life that they had been living, and to tell the truth, I was as well. I decided that if I continued to do something that I didnt like, at the very least, I would leave my little cousin Mara Paula a story that would tell her that she has to fight for her dreams, regardless of what they are, and that way, I would fulfill one of my own: that of writing a story. I made a deal with one of my best friends, Pedro, for him to help me with the illustrations, and here is the result.




Astoria


Book Description

Astoria examines the transitory physical world of the body and reflects on the seamless quality of the present moment. Surrounded by the rush and noise of trains, highways, and grocery store checkout lines, the narrator of these poems creates an intimate space in which to ponder the ephemeral nature of everyday things and the deeper meanings that might underlie them all. "It is amazing / we're not more amazed," one poem muses, "The world / is here / and then it is gone." The poems in Astoria unravel the hidden within the obvious, and speak to our innate questions of longing, purpose, and existence.

Steered by Greta’s determination to understand the truth and generate change, they began to see the deep connections between their own suffering and the planet’s. Written by a remarkable family and told through the voice of an iconoclastic mother, Our House Is on Fire is the story of how they fought their problems at home by taking global action.
