Until just over 150 years ago, northern Mexico extended thousands of kilometers farther than its current border with the United States. Many different indigenous groups flourished in that region before the Conquistadors arrived. What we know about their lives and customs is the result of archeological discoveries and the chronicles of the first Spanish priests and soldiers that had contact with them.

The traditional family is going to have to make room for Grandma, Nana to come live with them. Readers learn about the family unit.

They can be integrated into any existing language arts or core reading programs.

The sun is responsible for all life on Earth, but what exactly is it? Our star is an amazing force that can be as dangerous as it is important. From solar flares to the threat of blowing up altogether, the sun is one of the most interesting things in our solar system. Readers take a trip to the sun to see how it works and exactly what it is made of. They’ll learn about the life cycle of a star and see just how long we have until we have to find a new planet to call home. Don’t worry, they’ll be happy to learn that (hopefully) we have millions of years left!

Sumamos ya, con esta quinta edición de Bogotá contada, 45 escritores que han visitado nuestra capital. Al cabo de un lustro y cinco volúmenes se hace evidente que esta ciudad, lejos de agotarse, va desdoblándose en cada texto, revelando nuevas facetas.

Autores: Pedro Mairal, Francisco Hinojosa, Margarita García Robayo, Dani Umpi, Ricardo Sumalavia, Yolanda Arroyo.
