It’s Mikie’s birthday, and he wants
a very special gift from his parents. It has to be big, strong, soft,
sweet and warm; it has to rock
from side to side, make him fly,
make him laugh and last a
loooong time. His parents haven’t
the foggiest idea what gift that
could possibly be. But they manage to come up with just exactly
the gift Mikie had hoped for – the
simplest, yet most special gift any
parent can give.

This is the story of a family that

of survival. At the orphanage the
family recognizes the little girl
among all the other children and
they all return home very happily. This is a touching, tender, realistic and poetic story.

Julia wants a crown for her birthday. She wants to be a queen
because she thinks the work of
a monarch must not be so diffi-
cult and is probably very amusing, of course. Meanwhile, the
real king will discover the pleasure of being a child.
This book explains different
episodes from Mozart’s childhood: when at the age of five he
composed his first song and
shared it with his parents; playing with his beloved older sister
Ana at guessing melodies; the
discovery of his talent by friends
of his father who, like him, were
musicians, and his long tour
around Europe, playing exceptional music for emperors,
queens, nobles and bishops that
was to make him famous.

Ana doesn't like the carnival;
she's afraid of disturbing animals,
threatening devils, roaring monsters and jokey face masks. She
starts crying because she's lost
in the middle of the carnival. A
harlequin comes over, dries her
tears with his handkerchief and
puts a mask on her face. Now
everything looks different. She's
surprised to see funny animals,
playful devils, surprising monsters
and smiling masks. She loves the
