Par Vikki VanSickle. 2023
A funny, frank contemporary story about navigating the physical and emotional realities of growing up.When four friends have their phones…
confiscated in class, Sunny (not her real name) comes up with the idea of a secret shared journal, where they can communicate, share thoughts and pass them on. The pages of the book they jokingly refer to as the P.A.D. (pass-around diary) become filled with sweet, funny, sharp and important insights that speak to navigating middle grade life—friendships, crushes, consent, bodies, parents, siblings, periods, sports and student life.What began as a lighthearted way of passing notes becomes a poignant and heartfelt way to explore and share big and small feelings and events—a safe way for Sunny, Twix, Hoops and MP to find themselves, and support one another, through all the transitions of a grade seven year. In the tradition of Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, this novel is a fearless exploration of the lives of tween girls, and how they find answers to questions that continue to feel impossible to ask.Mi’kmaw Moons: The Seasons in Mi'kma'ki

the image descriptions, which are included in the body and narration of the text. Finalist, Lambda Literary Award and Doug Wright Award. In the fall of 2017, the acclaimed writer and musician Vivek Shraya began receiving vivid and disturbing transphobic hate mail from a stranger. Celebrated artist Ness Lee brings these letters and Shraya's responses to them to startling life in Death Threat, a comic book that, by its existence, becomes a compelling act of resistance. Using satire and surrealism, Death Threat is an unflinching portrayal of violent harassment from the perspective of both the perpetrator and the target, illustrating the dangers of online accessibility, and the ease with which vitriolic hatred can be spread digitally.Come, Read With Me

Par Kate Duke. 2000
Twenty guinea pigs can be too many--especially if all of them are crammed on a small and tipsy boat. In…
this charming and boisterous book about subtraction, the guinea pigs begin to jump ship, each in his or her own funny and unique way. While children follow the story of the ever-shrinking gang of guinea pigs, they can count the furry pals leaping on and around oversized numerals representing the number of cavorting cavies on the page. A simple equation that shows the subtraction is printed along the bottom of each spread, reinforcing the concept.Like its successful predecessor, One Guinea Pig Is Not Enough, this book tells a story while teaching a number concept.Ameera, Unveiled
Par Kathleen Varn. 2013
At the age of forty-eight, happily remarried and retired from her legal assistant, gerbil wheel, Kat decides to break out…
of her shell and try her hand at belly dancing. What begins as a hobby leads her to filling a coveted spot in Palmetto Oasis Middle Eastern Dance Troupe. With less than eight weeks to prepare, Kat's thrown into a world of performing she is terrified to face, all leading to a week of giving lessons and performing in Jamaica. Traveling with eight glittery strangers, she forges deep bonds under outrageous circumstances at what they'd soon all discover was a clothing-optional resort. Struggling with paralyzing stage fright and searching for the deeper root of her fears, Kat feverishly seeks a way to release Ameera, her inner dance queen. By the end of the week, the audience is mesmerized by the powerful presence and synchronicity of women joined at the hip by scares and some glitter. Kat soon knows, with the help of eight sisters in dance, that she is finally part of a tribe, discovering an oasis to refresh her thirst to be a part of a circle of womeA Linguagem Corporal Dos Cães Com Ilustrações -Ajude Na Segurança Dos Seus Filhos

A maior parte das vezes, como pais, não nos preocupamos em ensinar aos nossos filhos regras de segurança no que…
diz respeito a cães até surgir uma situação de perigo. Então, já não há tempo para ensinar, porque temos de agir rapidamente. Qualquer prevenção demora muito tempo. Mesmo não sendo donos de um cão, devemos ensinar aos nossos filhos a lidar com cães em diferentes situações. Este livro pode ser lido por um adulto a uma criança que tenha medo de cães, ou a uma criança que seja demasiado confiante, mas que precisa de aprender a ter mais respeito. No início do livro, os pais podem encontrar algum aconselhamento sobre a leitura, que deverá ser feita previa e integralmente antes da abordagem com a criança. Os pais conhecem a fase de desenvolvimento dos seus filhos, o seu temperamento e a sua experiência vivida com cães melhor do que ninguém. Todos estes factores se interligam quando se trata de ensinar sobre segurança e cães. Infelizmente, é uma temática à qual não damos muita importância. Como autora, não pretendi escrever um livro assustador, mas sim, um livro que ensina e encoraja a uma relação saudável entre a criança e o cão. O livro termina com algumas gravuras engraçadas para concluir com um tom mais ligeiro.Jagannath

Good Inn, a bold and visually arresting novel about art, conflict, and the origins of a certain type of cinemaIn 1907, the French battleship Iéna was destroyed when a nitrocellulose-based weapon propellant it was carrying became unstable with age and self-ignited, killing 120 people. A year later, La Bonne Auberge became the earliest-known pornographic film, depicting an intimate encounter between a French soldier and an innkeeper's daughter. Like all films at the time, and for decades afterward, it was made with a highly combustible nitrocellulose-based film stock.Loosely based on historical events, The Good Inn follows the lone survivor of the Iéna explosion as he makes his way through the French countryside. He falls into a strange love affair with an innkeeper's daughter and, even more deeply, into a volatile counteruniverse where war and art exist side by side.But The Good Inn is also the very real story of the people who made the world's first stag film, and Francis weaves together real historical facts to re-create this lost piece of history, as seen through the eyes of a shell-shocked soldier who finds himself that film's subject and star. Through his journey we explore the power of memory, the simultaneously destructive and restorative power of light, and how the early pioneers of pornography helped shape the film industry for generations to come.
