Building Bridges/Cuentos Y Puentes

Building Bridges/Cuentos Y Puentes is our brand new, first-ever bilingual book! With stories in both English and Spanish, this book is the product of a collaboration between nine students in Toronto and nine students from Colombia. Facilitated by a partnership between Story Planet and the Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia, this project reminded us that stories truly do bring us together. Along with each story in two languages, this book includes 'postcards' in which the students filled out to send to their Cuentamigo (story pal) to get to know each other more!

of traps, and the snakes were not very<br />

clever.<br />

Craim had arrived at the same place, and<br />

it understood what the plans of these<br />

lanky animals were, because it saw they<br />

had more diamonds in their rattles than<br />

usual. Craim was flying on its dragon, but<br />

was afraid that the snake’s traps would<br />

be activated in the air. For this reason, it<br />

decided to land. When it was exploring<br />

the terrain, the snakes attacked and<br />

managed to catch it.<br />

Micky, a very furry rabbit and also a<br />

very good friend, saw everything that<br />

happened from above while it was flying<br />

with Traigon. This little guy knew all the<br />

secrets of Craim, including its sister,<br />

a human who could transform into a<br />

mermaid and who also taught classes in<br />

a school for mermaids. She taught them<br />

to use their waterbending powers. Micky<br />

decided to call Kateson, Craim’s sister,<br />

who quickly came to the forest thanks<br />

to her friend Riley. She was another very<br />

beautiful mermaid who was in charge<br />

of the rules in the world of mermaids.<br />

Micky and Traigon pointed out the exact<br />

whereabouts of Craim the Brave. It<br />

was trapped and surrounded by many<br />

rattlesnakes. When she saw this, Kateson<br />

activated her powers to freeze the<br />

snakes using the river water.<br />

from one place to another.<br />

Having freed themselves from the<br />

snakes, Craim, Traigon, and Micky<br />

decided to continue on their way to the<br />

Dismetrium rock. When they continued,<br />

they realized that there were two very<br />

large traps. One spit fire bombs, but<br />

fire could not do anything to Traigon, so<br />

they passed it without problems. When<br />

they were reaching the second giant<br />

trap, thousands of sharp blades flew<br />

everywhere and one of them managed<br />

to cut into Traigon. When she saw what<br />

happened, Kateson took her skateboard<br />

and went over a ramp to Traigon. She<br />

had some medicine made from algae in<br />

a small pocket. She gave them to the<br />

dragon and began to cure it.<br />

Craim kept walking to get to the famous<br />

rock. It overcame other traps that were<br />

around. Craim the Brave managed<br />

to reach the cave where the precious<br />

treasure was, but to everyone’s surprise,<br />

a snake was there. When it saw Craim,<br />

the serpent immediately decided to<br />

fight. It was sure that the brave creature<br />

could not use its powers against it.<br />

They fought for a long time and Craim<br />

managed to win the battle, but the snake<br />

had bitten Craim on the right leg. Micky,<br />

who had gone after Craim, managed to<br />

take the shiny rock in its hands and there<br />

all the traps were deactivated.<br />

The mermaids reached the cave and with<br />

their powers did what they could to save<br />

him. At that moment, Craim told them,<br />

Not all the snakes froze. Some managed<br />

to escape and ran towards the rock in<br />

a desperate way. Running and running<br />

to avoid being caught, they activated<br />

many of the traps and were very injured.<br />

Craim, who had decided to follow the<br />

queen rattlesnake, followed a path<br />

where it found a strange flute. It tried<br />

to play it, but could not. Then Kateson<br />

and Riley became human and left the<br />

river and with two very fast skateboards,<br />

they approached quickly. Riley took the<br />

flute in her hands and began to play a<br />

song. It was beautiful for everyone but<br />

so maddening for the snakes that they<br />

began to walk uncontrollably and go<br />
