"Readers will be fascinated by the stone-collage illustrations created by Syrian artist Badr, who arranges expressive tableaux of people formed entirely of rocks and pebbles.A unique offering that will open eyes and soften hearts."-Booklist "Stunning, original artwork both childlike and sophisticated a text that will both break and mend your heart."-Jane Yolen, award-winning author of Devil's Arithmetic and The Stone Angel. "It's exquisite! One can only pray that its message will spread and make the difference we need."-Mem Fox, award-winning and internationally bestselling children's book author "Ruurs writes purely and warmly, with the text set in both English and Raheem's Arabic translation.She deftly conveys the happiness of peaceful childhood, then the confusion and the fears born of war and migration, and the relief and curiosity of arriving at a new home.Each illustration is masterful, with Badr's placement of stones as careful as brush strokes, creating figures positioned to tell the whole story without the benefit of facial expressions.An astonishing book that allows the humanity of refugees to speak louder than politics and introduces readers to one of Syria's incredible artists."-Kirkus Reviews, starred review A book that should be read with every child in the world! An instant classic as solid as the stones on which it is based!"-Eric Walters, award-winning author and member of the Order of Canada

5/13/2023 0 Comments Valmiki's Daughter by Shani MootooThis selection of short stories, made by Madhavikutty herself, is a window to the fascinating world of her Malayalam writings. Her short fiction written in Malayalam under the name Madhavikutty is equally original and evocative. The big question now is: how does this reputation get affected by Tata's increasingly global market? The Kept Woman and other stories By Kamala Das 166 pages, Rs 195 The English-reading public knows Kamala Das primarily as a poet. Witzel starts with founder Jamsetji Tata and how he laid the foundation for always keeping the common people in the picture. Rather, it is a depiction of what the author believes is the core of Tata's success - the ethos of service to the people as much as economic gain. The book is not a comprehensive history of the Tata enterprise. Tata: The Evolution of a Corporate Brand By Morgen Witzel 222 pages, Rs 599 Morgen Witzel explores India's oldest corporate brand, the Tata group, at a time when 65 per cent of the group's income is originating abroad. 5/13/2023 0 Comments The thank you book by mo willemsThe Pigeon showed up one day while I was trying to write a great picture book - this before I had ever been published - and The Pigeon said, don't. He spends years thinking about them, developing them, figuring out the stories they'll be a part of. ISABELLA GOMEZ SARMIENTO, BYLINE: Mo Willems says most of the characters in his children's books are born in an idea garden. As NPR's Isabella Gomez Sarmiento reports, the Pigeon made his operatic debut at Washington, D.C.'s Kennedy Center. But last weekend, readers got to see and hear a brand new side of the bossy bird. This month marks 20 years since Mo Willems published his first picture book, "Don't Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus!" It has sold more than 6 million copies and received a Caldecott honor. To mark the anniversary, Willems and Renee Fleming presented the pigeon's story in an opera at the Kennedy Center. Mo Willems' picture book Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! turns 20 this month. Quiet and unobtrusive but always politely questioning, it was sometimes easy to forget that Anne Wilson’s Miss Marple was sitting onstage. It looked as if it cost an absolute fortune to create, and enhanced the atmosphere of the play perfectly. From the moment the curtain opened the audience is audibly shocked at how opulent it was, and how accurate to the time. The set design, also by Sargent, was the true hero of the production. This ensured the sharp script and capable cast did most of the heavy lifting. Sargent’s direction was thoughtful and concise, giving people enough space to move, but for the most part, keeping a tight rein on unnecessary pacing. This production was filled with dedication, and in an age of “Thanos Demands Your Silence”, Director Chris Sargent politely asked those who already knew the secrets of the play to kindly “keep them to yourselves”. The iconic Miss Marple was brought to life in Act 1 Theatre’s production of ‘A Murder Is Announced’ – a sharp whodunnit with more red herrings than a fish farm, and a laundry list long of possible murderers ’whodunnit. 2.2K ‘A Murder is Announced’ was charming.Ī night spent unravelling a classic Agatha Christie murder mystery is a night well spent. 5/13/2023 0 Comments Giovanni's room first editionJames Baldwin caused outrage as a black author writing about white homosexuals, yet for him the issues of race, sexuality and personal freedom were eternally intertwined.
