Santillana Presents the Children\u2019s Book Cuentos sin ning\u00fan porqu\u00e9 By Yuan Fuei Liao <\/STRONG>
Santo Domingo, November 2 2015<\/P>
\n

E<\/SPAN>ditorial Santillana and newcomer children book author Yuan Fuei Liao, launched his first book “Cuentos sin ning\u00fan porqu\u00e9,” aimed at children aged eight years and above, in the Pedro Mir Forum of the Cuesta book store.<\/P>
\n

Journalist Jos\u00e9 Rafael Sosa presented the biography of the author, with whom he shares a passion for origami; and the director of the Togog\u00e1n magazine, Leibi Ng, introduced the book. Ruth Herrera, Santillana\u2019s representative, presented the dedication and hosted the evening.<\/P>
\n

Yuan, who refers to his work as a Catholic preacher as that of a “diversionero,” a mix of entertainer and missionary, explained that “Cuentos sin ning\u00fan porqu\u00e9” is part of his rediscovery of the sense of wonder, “of the contemplative gaze of the little ones, with the child within me and with the one that is outside of me, with and without their whys.”<\/P>
\n

Leibi Ng was impressed by the renewed approach of the book, “which reminds us that the mission of the authors of children’s literature is to create with the needs of the child in mind, not thinking about the needs of the textbook, nor about correcting behaviors, or about training the adult of the future…”.<\/P>
\n

What comes to life in the book is the incredible, everyday things that are found in extraordinary situations. That becomes evident, for example, in the stories of the dead tree that turns into a giraffe, the boy who wins the race with a light foot and a heavy foot, the monkey that speaks using monosyllables, the little thief of other people\u2019s shadows, the window open on the floor instead of on the wall…<\/P>
\n

The event closed with a show of magic performed by Yuan, a collective origami under Sosa\u2019s direction, and a song composed and performed by Laura S\u00e1nchez, the author\u2019s wife, with the attending public made of children and adults providing the chorus. <\/P>
