By Adriana Fern\u00e1ndez<\/span><\/p>

Once upon a time there was a man made of snow. His name was Don Fresquete.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Had this man of white fallen from the moon? No.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Had he escaped from an ice-cream parlour? No, no, no.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

\u00a0He had simply been made by the children that afternoon, by putting a snowball on top of a snowball.
<\/span><\/i>
Mar\u00eda Elena Walsh, Don Fresquete<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/p>

Do you remember Don Fresquete? The great Mar\u00eda Elena Walsh imagined this character whose name rhymes with \u201cbarrilete\u201d (kite) and that one day… He escaped. I can think of no better way to introduce our theme of the cold in children\u2019s books than reading that very short, classic tale! The cold features in many stories dedicated to childhood; it is associated with a season that generates a certain forlornness, but is also that of seeking shelter, of being indoors, of inventing new games and ways of relating to others. Today we have selected three books in honour of the beginning of this winter season.<\/p>

A story about those who “suffer the cold”.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Sapo en invierno [Frog in Winter], by Max Velthuijs

Have you heard the expression \u201cto suffer the cold\u201d? Such is the case of Frog, who feels helpless and \u2013 so to speak \u2013 inferior to all his friends. Mother Nature did not give him the protection of feathers, nor thick fur, nor any fat… he is just a bare frog, he says.<\/p>

But the cold will not defeat him, because his friends help out, keeping him warm and preparing him for the harsh season, until everything sprouts once again and spring arrives.
This is a story about solidarity and friendship, about trade-offs and resolutions.<\/p>

The author, Max Velthuijs, was born in the Netherlands and died in 2005. In 2004, he was awarded the Hans Christian Andersen Prize, the highest recognition in children’s literature.<\/p>

La ni\u00f1a del desierto blanco<\/em> is a most unique novel. The author, Mar\u00eda Carro, has dedicated her life to the promotion of children’s and young people’s literature, and lived with her family in Antarctica during her childhood. Her experience there provides the source of inspiration for this fictional story about a girl who, as a member of the first group of families to go to live in this veritable white desert, faces her own challenges, accompanied by her loving and indispensable dogs. What does a girl do in a place where the cold is both a permanent obstacle and companion?<\/p>

What science has to say about the cold.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Iamiqu\u00e9 publishing house produces these marvellous books that take a scientific look at issues that we take so for granted that we don\u2019t believe there is any mystery to them. This book raises the questions about winter that perhaps we have never asked ourselves, and which have very interesting answers. How does our body know that it is cold? Why does it feel the cold? Why do we shiver, or why do we get “goose bumps”? How are the flu and cold weather related? How does snow form? Why can we walk on ice? … And more questions for curious children and parents eager to share the answers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
