An excellent introduction to the news for young adults.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eToo many of us have no choice about the type of news we receive. Too many of us remain ignorant of major issues and diverse opinions because the news isn't providing them. Over the past twenty years the news media has become more restricted, less diverse and of steadily declining quality. Fewer owners and managers control editorial policies, journalists have been sacked, and those who remain find themselves working at a faster pace on more superficial stories. Most of us rely on a dominant media, controlled by a few globalized giants. These groups have attained enormous financial and political power.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBut as this book shows, the trends are not all bad.

One of the boys can’t understand what she is saying, so another offers to translate. The old woman’s tale is inspired by the Tower of Babel story: In the days when everyone spoke the same language, the people built a tower to reach God. But God was annoyed and sent a dragon to destroy the tower, then created new languages for everyone so that they couldn’t understand each other. Fortunately, two little girls find a way to communicate through song.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTold entirely through dialogue, moving back and forth between the old woman’s tale and the exchange between the two boys, this original, sometimes funny story raises questions about what divides us and what brings us together, in spite of all our differences — it is the power of song in this case, which ultimately brings hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003ePiet Grobler brings a masterful visual interpretation to this layered story, rendering the old woman and children in the playground in monochromatic tones and the characters in the old woman’s tale in a naïve style with vibrant color, complete with incomprehensible languages in hand-drawn speech balloons.

Santiago has always known that Adrián has a big heart, and his steadfast friendship is also the reason Adrián has a chance to heal.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong \u003eKey Text Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eillustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong \u003eCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.3\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWith prompting and support, identify characters, settings, and major events in a story.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.6\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWith prompting and support, name the author and illustrator of a story and define the role of each in telling the story.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.7\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWith prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in which they appear (e.g., what moment in a story an illustration depicts).\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.3\u003cbr\u003e\r\nDescribe characters, settings, and major events in a story, using key details.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.4\u003cbr\u003e\r\nIdentify words and phrases in stories or poems that suggest feelings or appeal to the senses.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.3\u003cbr\u003e\r\nDescribe how characters in a story respond to major events and challenges.\u003cstrong \u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","EAN":"9781773064574","Imprint":"Groundwood Books","KeyTextFeatures":"illustrations","MetaKeywords":"A la Orilla del Viento winner; Horn Book Fanfare; IBBY Honor list; Kirkus Best Picture Books; White Raven Award; picture book; illustrations; award winning author; award-winning author; award-winning illustrator; Latin America","OtherText_Accolades_0":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePraise for author Jairo Buitrago, illustrator Rafael Yockteng and \u003cem\u003eWounded Falcons\u003c\/em\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommended \u003c\/strong\u003eJunior Library Guild Selection, 2021\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","OtherText_Back_cover_copy_0":"\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBuitrago and Yockteng are highly acclaimed picture-book creators with an award winning and best-selling backlist that includes \u003cem \u003eJimmy the Greatest!\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem \u003eTwo White Rabbits\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem \u003eWalk with Me\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe duo’s books consistently earn many starred reviews. \u003cem \u003eJimmy the Greatest!\u003c\/em\u003e received six.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eThis is a story about the power of friendship and love that will appeal to those who loved \u003cem \u003eLion and Mouse\u003c\/em\u003e also by Buitrago and Yockteng.\u003cstrong \u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n","OtherText_ShortDescription_0":"A moving tribute to the power of friendship and the heart-opening effect that taking care of a wounded creature has on a wounded boy.","PrizeCode_0":"Commended","PrizeName_0":"03","PrizeYear_0":"2021","ProductFormDescription":"EPUB, fixed","PublicationDate":"2021-09-01","Publisher":"Groundwood Books Ltd","ShortDescription":"A moving tribute to the power of friendship and the heart-opening effect that taking care of a wounded creature has on a wounded boy."}
