  • The Eagle Who Learned to Soar: United States of America (Little Lights of the World)

    The Eagle Who Learned to Soar is a story about courage, identity, and the discovery of true strength. At its heart is a young eagle who begins life believing he is no different from the small birds around him. Raised among them, he learns to hop, flutter, and fear the sky. His wings feel heavy, his heart unsure, and his world seems limited to the ground beneath his feet.

    But the wind whispers a different truth. Through storms, valleys, and moments of doubt, the eagle begins to notice something stirring inside—a longing for more, a pull toward the endless horizon. Guided by mentors of the earth and sky, and by his own resilience, he learns to spread his wings, risk the unknown, and rise above the weight of fear.

    The tale is both timeless and symbolic, reminding readers—children and adults alike—that within every heart lies a strength greater than circumstance. Like the eagle, we are born not for the safety of cages, but for the freedom of flight.

  • El perezoso que amaba soñar: Costa Rica

    El perezoso que amaba soñar no es solo un cuento—es un susurro al alma.

    En lo profundo de una selva bañada en luz dorada y hojas que susurran secretos, vivía un perezoso llamado Silas—tranquilo, amable y quieto. Mientras otros corrían y rugían, Silas escuchaba. Respiraba. Soñaba.

    Y, de alguna manera, eso fue suficiente para cambiarlo todo.

    El perezoso que amaba soñar es una historia luminosa sobre un tipo de valentía que no nace del ruido, la velocidad ni la fuerza, sino de la quietud. De la ternura. De un pequeño corazón que se atreve a estar presente en un mundo que pasa de largo la belleza del ahora.

    A través de bosques iluminados por la luna y silencios sagrados, este libro invita a niños—y al niño dentro de cada uno de nosotros—a detenerse. A sentir. A recordar la sabiduría que vive en nuestra respiración. Es un recordatorio tierno: no eres demasiado lento. Es el mundo el que va demasiado rápido.

    Perfecto para leer al anochecer o bajo un dosel de árboles, este no es solo un libro—es un momento. Un respiro. Un comienzo.

    Susurra. Espera. Escucha. Empieza. El sueño… ya vive dentro de ti.

  • The Sloth Who Loved to Dream: Costa Rica (Little Lights of the World)

    What if the bravest thing you could do… was slow down?

    Deep in a jungle painted with golden light and whispering leaves, lived a sloth named Silas—quiet, gentle, and still. While others raced and roared, Silas listened. He breathed. He dreamed.

    And somehow, that was enough to change everything.

    The Sloth Who Loved to Dream is a luminous tale of courage born not from noise, speed, or strength—but from stillness. From softness. From one small heart daring to be present in a world that rushes past the beauty of now.

    Through moonlit forests and sacred silences, this story invites children—and the child within us all—to pause. To feel. To remember the wisdom we carry in our breath. It’s a tender reminder that you are not too slow. The world is just too fast.

    Whether read aloud at bedtime or savored beneath a canopy of trees, this is more than a book—it’s a moment. A breath. A beginning.

    So whisper. Wait. Listen. Begin.

    The dream is already inside you.
