MIAMI, July 6, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Inspirational author, lecturer and communicator Ismael Cala is in Mexico City to present his books Ser como el bambú (‘Being like the bamboo’) (HarperCollins Español) and El analfabeto emocional (‘The emotional illiterate’) (VR Editoras) this Saturday, July 9th.
“How wonderful to meet again with Mexican readers, and this time for a double whammy! We’ve got something for all tastes. One is for kids, so parents and their children can enjoy what we can learn from the bamboo, a plant whose strength and flexibility make it very powerful. And the other one is for young people and adults, because all of us have been emotional illiterates at some point in our lives, starting with me,” said Cala in Miami.

Ser como el bambú (‘Being like the bamboo’) is a beautifully illustrated book for children in a bilingual edition that will allow parents to spend some quality time with their kids. It’s the story of Mama Panda and Baby Bear, and will inspire children to develop values such as patience, perseverance, determination, independence and generosity.
El analfabeto emocional (‘The emotional illiterate’), for its part, is a practical guide for how to use our emotions so that they can lead us to success. “I was an emotional illiterate.” This is how Cala bluntly begins his latest book, which focuses on the role of emotions in our lives. The author proposes to flee from feeling like a victim, leaving behind our fears and constricting beliefs.
“If pessimism and insecurity block our personal or professional progress, if everyday traffic brings out our inner monster of rage, if jealousy dominates our relationships… then it is time to take action,” Cala proposes.
