International Childhood Week

 

Childhood is a special period of life. Therefore I want to commemorate the date of Childhood, 20th November, by remembering those cartoons which are based on literature, comic strips and tv series for kids. Many of them are known by their video game version. Somehow they also have contributed to the diffusion of their source, even if they have done it by mentioning them. Anyway, they become a thriving ground for imagination. Try to guess their names!

World Diabetes Day

It is a truth universally acknowledged that every person in the world should follow a balanced diet and do some physical exercise to be healthy. However, there are thousands of people who are not aware of its importance for the prevention of some diseases, such as diabetes. For that reason, the International Diabetes Federation together with its member associations has launched a campaign to promote an early diagnose at all ages, paying special attention to children. If you are interested to know where you can go to learn more about diabetes and the campaigns carried out in your country, here you are a link that may be helpful:

New Moon

On the occasion of the imminent release of the 2nd. part of the successful Twilight's saga in cinemas, New Moon promises to become a blockbuster this autumn. Moreover, this event has also attracted the most reluctant readers as it has turned out to be one of the most appealing titles of fiction, keeping suspense until the very end. This fact has brought about Twilight to be read all over the world. In addition to this phenomenon, we must bear in mind a film only takes a couple of hours to tell a story. So, if you want to know what really happens in this new episode, don't wait to be told! This is my recommended book for this holiday. I hope you enjoy it!

International Day of Breast Cancer

A Poem for Halloween

While I was surfing the net to look for extra materials for Halloween, I found this great poem based on Tim Burton's original idea to The Nightmare before Christmas. What I've liked most to choose this one above others is his narrator, Christopher Lee. His voice makes the story even gloomier and its plot becomes more intriguing the more he goes on with it. It's for sure you may have recognised Lee's voice on other sagas such as The Lord of The Rings, Dracula or Star Wars. Now, it's the turn of animation. I hope you enjoy watching it! Happy Hallowe'en!
