Daniel Miyares Bücher

Kann ein kleiner Vogel nicht einfach mal seine Ruhe haben? Glücklich und zufrieden sitzt ein kleiner gelber Vogel alleine auf einer Sandbank. Da gesellt sich ein Pelikan zu ihm: äVerzeihungô, sagt er. Kurz danach kommt ein Frosch hinzu: äVerzeihungô, sagt auch er. Immer mehr Tiere quetschen sich mit auf die Insel. Nur der Fuchs bleibt am Ufer und ruft: äVerzeihung, ihr sitzt auf einem ô - doch da ist der kleine Vogel bereits vor Wut explodiert, und hat damit alle anderen Tiere verjagt. Endlich Ruhe. Aber worauf sitzt der kleine gelbe Vogel eigentlich? Farbenprächtige und starke Bilder mit modernem Witz für Groß und Klein und einer Prise schwarzem Humor.

LOST Mark Twain's Cat After the death of his beloved wife, Samuel Clemens—known to his fans as Mark Twain—holed himself up in his house, too sad to face the outside world. His constant companion in his grief was Bambino, his daughter Clara’s cat. Despite the pleas of his daughter Jean and the well wishes of his friends and admirers, Sam could not find joy in life. His only peace was in the moments he spent with the curious cat. Then one day Bambino got out of the house to chase a squirrel and didn’t come back. Distraught, Sam placed an ad in the newspaper offering a reward for Bambino’s return. Many people with many cats came to his door. The world wanted to cheer up Mark Twain. No cat but Bambino could console the great writer, however. Rich, luminous illustrations highlight this friendship of a man and his cat in a time of great sorrow and through his healing. Nothing compares to the solace of a pet.

Hope doesn’t only want to listen to her father’s stories about his voyages at sea, she wants to be part of those stories. And so, unbeknownst to her parents, she stows away on her father's 19th-century merchant vessel. But look... The wind has picked up and the sky is darkening... Could there be such a thing as an adventure that is too exciting? Join high-spirited Hope on a trip of a lifetime in this exquisitely illustrated picture book that also captures the love between a father and child.

The story centers on a young girl who becomes curious about her new neighbor, a boy who is creatively constructing something using planks from the shared fence between their yards. Through nearly wordless illustrations, the narrative unfolds, capturing the themes of curiosity, imagination, and the budding friendship between the two children as they engage in a silent yet profound exploration of their surroundings.

A little bug demonstrates that size doesn't determine strength in this humorous and engaging picture book. With vibrant illustrations and a lighthearted narrative, it captures the spirit of resilience and the idea that even the smallest creatures can make a big impact. The story encourages readers to embrace their uniqueness and showcases the power of determination in a delightful way.

Evoking picture book classics like Aaron Becker's Journey and Chris Van Allsburg's The Polar Express, here is an emotionally rich bedtime picture book about a lonely child's nighttime adventure that is also a showcase for the extraordinary illustrations of Daniel Miyares. When a small, friendless boy goes to bed at his boarding school, an adventure is about to begin! First he finds an invitation in his turtle's bowl. Next he makes an escape--out the window, through the woods, across a river, and onto an island. And then he joins a grand celebration, with larger-than-life animals serving tea and dancing late into the night. And finally? After the journey back, he has a fantastic story to tell--the perfect way to make a friend. A simple text and glorious illustrations combine to make a deceptively powerful and touching picture book, cementing Daniel Miyares's reputation as one of the most exciting children's book author-illustrators working today.
