El Libro Dorado de los Niños

This book was created as a guide for boys on their road to puberty and maturity. It offers a real, natural image of boys and masculinity, free from stereotypes, which welcomes the expression of feelings such as sadness through tears. Boys are powerful in a different way from what we have been led to believe. It is time to put aside the competitiveness and values of a society that pushes boys to believe they will be more powerful if they build up their muscles or win lots of prizes. With great harmony between words and images, the book reveals to young readers the true secret of how to be happy: to be themselves fully, to obey and respect themselves, and to respect the natural world around them of which they form part. It emphasizes the connection between children and nature, which is vital for the future. This is also a book for men as it helps them to heal old wounds that no longer need to stay hidden.
