ou de l'inconnu, peur de l'autre ou peur des mots, tout dépend du contexte et du profil. La peur est une émotion universelle qui provoque son lot de bouleversements. Elle se manifeste aussi bien dans une situation d'inconfort ou face à une menace. La violence, la maladie, le racisme, les apparences, la dictature, la popularité, l'intimidation et le ridicule sont autant de sujets à découvrir que de raisons de s'interroger sur ses propres angoisses. Pour ce recueil, treize auteurs se sont appropriés cette thématique : André Marois, Camille Bouchard, Dïana Bélice, Elizabeth Turgeon, Jonathan Reynolds, Laurent Chabin, Émilie Rivard, Martine Latulippe, Mathieu Fortin, Pierre Labrie, Rodney Saint-Éloi, Sonia K. Laflamme et Sylvie Brien. Trois illustrateurs ont aussi participé à ce projet : David Goldstyn, Anouk Lacasse et Réal Binette. Voici quelques peurs que vous retrouverez dans ce recueil : La peur du regard des autres, la claustrophobie, la peur du rejet, la peur de la première fois, la peur de la maladie... et plusieurs autres!

Par Meryl Loonin. 2023
"According to the American Library Association (ALA), there were more attempts to ban books in 2021 than at any time…
since the group began tracking three decades earlier. The latest, unprecedented wave of book banning is driven mainly by conservative parents and politicians, who are also behind extreme new censorship laws in many states that restrict what teachers and students can read and discuss in the classroom. Free speech defenders say the laws are a threat to intellectual freedom--and democracy itself." -- Provided by publisher100 Words Almost Everyone Mixes Up or Mangles (100 Words)

your delegate from your relegate, your cachet from your cache? At one time or another we&’ve all suffered the embarrassment of having our remarks corrected by a family member, colleague, or stranger. 100 Words Almost Everyone Mixes Up or Mangles presents fifty pairs of words that people have trouble getting right and keeping straight—words that tend to get corrected when we&’re least expecting it. These words include near-synonyms—words with subtle but important distinctions in meaning—like baleful vs. baneful, and effectual vs. efficacious. Other pairings bring together notorious sound-alikes, like faze (bother) vs. phase (stage), pour (put in fluid) vs. pore (read closely), and waive (forgo) vs. wave (say hello). The book also addresses some classic spelling blunders and &“nonwords,&” like beyond the pail, full reign, injust, and inobstrusive. Each word has a definition and a pronunciation, and most have etymologies explaining the word&’s origin. The mix-ups themselves are described in fun-to-read notes that provide clear solutions to help readers avoid making needless, uncomfortable gaffes. 100 Words Almost Everyone Mixes Up or Mangles gives readers the chance to improve their command of words that are often heard but just as often misused.Be brave as you meet the most incredible creatures to ever walk the Earth in this top-selling book.The ultimate visual…

to teachers as to young writers&” (School Library Journal, starred review). Storytelling is a universal experience. From an early age, we begin to shape our own world by crafting tales. But learning to tell—and write—a good story isn&’t easy. It takes dedication and practice, just like for a musician or an athlete, and it can be just as rewarding to accomplish as winning a game or mastering an instrument. It&’s the kind of work that feeds our souls and makes us glad to be alive. In What&’s Your Story?, Newbery Medal-winning author Marion Dane Bauer discusses how to write fiction from beginning to end, including creating a story plan, choosing the best idea, bringing characters to life, deciding on a point of view, creating realistic dialogue, keeping readers hooked, and revising and polishing the finished product. &“Her last comment is telling: &‘Knowing your craft can help you tell a story. But only by taking risks can you make art.&’ After many pages of provocative information and straightforward counsel, that sentence may be the one to launch youngsters to the challenge. The book speaks directly to young writers, but many adults (teachers, librarians, reviewers, editors, would-be writers) will also find this sensible dissection of the storytelling process invaluable.&”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) &“A pragmatic, organized approach to story writing . . . the exercises and thought processes introduced as groundwork come across as stimulating rather than tedious and may serve to hone analytical skills as well as inspire even the most reluctant writers to try their hand.&”—Publishers Weekly
