BOOKS FOR CHILDREN
& YOUNG ADULTS
Cyls Editores . 2014
WHO ARE WE
Cyls Editores came about as the result of countless
meetings and proposals from a group of entrepreneurs
who were determined to create information books that are
«different», capable of bringing kids closer to knowledge
and critical thinking. Cyls Editores is an independent
publishing house committed to educate passionate
new readers through a number of books intended for
discovering the world around us.
That is why our collections cover relevant topics discussed
at length, ranging from creative writing, thinking, science
and arts to universal values, feelings and emotions that
shape us as human beings.
OUR BOOK COLLECTIONS
KEY Collection
The topics within this collection are not dealt in keeping with common
standards for informative books. We are not content with providing
a number of references and facts. This has already been done.
Our primary goal is to encourage reflection and critical thinking
in young readers, and to trigger off their innate curiosity so that we
can bring them closer to knowledge.
Its name KEY reflects both the focus on critical issues to humankind
and, thus, crucial to the expansion of knowledge; and the way they
are dealt with, taking into account different yet fundamental viewpoints
which arouse the reader’s curiosity for more, and create interest in new
cultural experiences.
All of the titles in this collection are intended to be used from Grade
4 onwards; the latter being for guidance only.
The KEY collection is made up of four series, all of them based on
today’s complex affairs and thinking of tomorrow’s world; they are:
Photon, Habit, Person, High-flier.

The book has been conceived for children of 9 years of age and older; nevertheless,

like cobwebs, connect us with their strands, almost

So Alike, So Different
Author. Boris Muñoz
Illustrated by. Iván Estrada
Sub-category. Social Sciences, Cultures, Values
SYNOPSIS
What is tolerance? And intolerance? This book
presents all those arguments that have sustained
such behaviors throughout history, and deals in a
sensitive, creative way with issues such as race, sex, religious and ethnic
discrimination, as well as related topics including terrorism and totalitarianism.
PERSON
Series
We tackle subjects that
touch highly sensitive
cords for all human
beings, such as emotions, feelings, values,
and prejudices. Their
reading should lead to
essential questions:
Who are we? What are
our values? What is life?
What are those things
that thrill us, worry us,
and define us?
A topic that today is more relevant than ever: accepting differences.
We recommend it to stimulate critical reading among youngsters. It is an ideal
starting point in the study of social sciences by way of an issue which children
come across on a daily basis in their classrooms, their relationships with peers,
and the news in newspapers and TV.

SYNOPSIS
Fear is such a common feeling in childhood that
everybody takes for granted that children know what
it is; however, reality shows that we do not teach kids
how to cope with emotions, what to do with them, how not to feel embarrassed,
and to acknowledge that fear is also a means to protecting ourselves from danger.

old
peculiarities of these books. With a bold design and stunning illustrations,
they give the opportunity to learn about the animal world in an
interesting, amusing way, and make it easy to associate the different
features among species: how they feed themselves, how they reproduce,
where they live. Detailed information supplemented by a glossary
of terms that are most likely new to readers.

AUTHORS
BELÉN (LA NENA) CALANCHE.
Caracas (1915-2002) Mother, grandmother and
great-grandmother.
Her life was spent in the peaceful world of the
small provincial city of Caracas, mid to late twentieth
century. She was educated to perform brilliantly all
those tasks of a housewife. This means, ability to make
real homes of the places where she lived, beyond the
economical and political situations that she had to live.
Her strong personality made everything at home had
her personal seal, however, achieved a special
atmosphere of serenity that left place for others
to live, develop and keep sheltered. Getting this
atmosphere of care and pampering, seemed effortless
to her. She transformed everything she touched in
delight for eyes and palates. And above all, her
motherhood, the more important task in her life,
allowed her to convey
in a natural way, her knowledge of writers, poets and
characters, all mixed as if they were relatives, Cyrano
de Bergerac, Andrés Mata, Rosario Sansores, Federico
García Lorca or Gustavo Adolfo Becquer. Due to this
way of «living» her readings, she was an excellent
«Storyteller», she didn’t only tell the story, she also
actedt it.
