  Dead Man's Planet by William Morrison - When a driven man arrives at a cemetery world, what else can it be but journey's end—and the start of a new one? 
  Outside the ship, it was the sun that blazed angrily. Inside, it was Sam Wilson's temper. "Study your lessons," he snarled, with a savageness that surprised himself, "or I'll never let you set foot on this planet at all." 
  "Okay, Pop," said Mark, a little white around the nostrils. He looked old for so young a kid. "I didn't mean anything wrong." 
  "I don't care what you meant. You do as you're told." 
  In the quiet that followed, broken only by the hum of the arithmetic-tape, Sam wondered at himself. As kids went, Mark had never been a nuisance. Certainly Rhoda had never had any trouble with him. But Rhoda had been altogether different. Sam was tough and he had always got a sense of satisfaction out of knowing that he was hard-boiled. Or at least that was once true. Rhoda had been sweet, gentle.... 
  He aroused himself from thoughts of her by calling, "Mark!" 
  "Yes, Pop?" 
  His voice had been harsher than he had intended. Over the past few weeks he seemed gradually to have been losing control of it. Now, although he was going to do his son a favor, he sounded like a slavemaster threatening a beating. "You can shut off your arithmetic lesson. We're going out." 
  "But didn't you want me—" 
  "I changed my mind."

  Abbiamo forse dimenticato che non esiste un solo modello di bellezza, ma che, al contrario, può assumere infinite forme diverse? Ci siamo sentiti tutti noi, almeno una volta, ‘’diversi’, provando quasi vergogna o timore. 
  Kaya è una bambina molto coraggiosa, senza alcun dubbio diversa dai suoi coetanei: seppure così piccola, sa che la diversità è ricchezza. Grazie alla forza dell’amore e dell’amicizia, riuscirà a sradicare tutti i pregiudizi ingiustificati sul suo conto. 
  Questo audiolibro può aiutare a far comprendere ai propri figli quanto sia importante credere in sé stessi e ad imparare ad apprezzare la realtà per la sua prolifera diversità. 
  Accade spesso che sia nel mondo degli adulti che in quello dei ragazzi non si capisca quanto siano importanti le differenze. E’ un fenomeno in crescita, soprattutto in un’era tecnologica come la nostra, in cui si cerca di trasmettere la falsa credenza che per essere belli bisogna seguire in tutto e per tutto uno standard. 
  Dopo aver ascoltato questo audio, i tuoi bambini avranno sviluppato questa consapevolezza, fondamentale per vivere in una società che sia sintesi delle più disparate diversità. 
  Come sarebbe il nostro pianeta, infatti, se tutto apparisse uguale, plastificato, scialbo? Un mondo grigio, ecco che cosa avremmo! La bellezza salverà il mondo, è vero! Ma ben sapendo che il suo sinonimo più fedele forse è ‘’diversità’’. 
  Kaya acquisisce la consapevolezza di sé e la capacità di rapportarsi agli altri grazie al sostegno dei suoi genitori e del suo caro amico. 
  Ora aspetta di essere conosciuta da ciascuno dei vostri figli, per accompagnarli in questa emozionante avventura!
