When winter arrives and the Tió de Nadal (a traditional Catalan Christmas log) starts to get fatter, books become one of the most special gifts: they last, they're reread, they're shared, and they create memories. We've selected ten suggestions for all ages and tastes: classics that stir emotions, picture books to look at again and again, books with cats, adventures to get lost in, and stories that spark conversations. This Christmas, make sure there are plenty of stories to read together.

The free time and relaxation of summer days are an ideal opportunity to get little ones hooked on reading. Whether it's the beach, the mountains, or at home, any place is a good place to take a book out of your bag and finish that chapter you've left unfinished. Families surely already have a stack of recommended books ready. Now, Marta Gil, bookseller at El Gat Pelut, is making a selection of books for the children and young adults in the house.
