  Relive the romantic story of the engagement and marriage of one of America’s most endearing comic-strip heroines in this collection. 
   
  “The comic-strip character Cathy, one of America’s most famous single career women, finally got married to her hapless longtime boyfriend, Irving—and on Valentine’s Day, no less. It’s the end of an era-or was it?” —USA Today 
   
  “YES.” Rarely has one word, one positive response, resonated so loudly from the world's comic pages. But when leading lady Cathy finally took the plunge—after nearly 30 interminable years!—and accepted boyfriend Irving's marriage proposal, the occasion certainly deserved notice among Cathy fans around the globe. 
   
  The Wedding of Cathy and Irving captures all the fun, magic, and—yes—the nerve-racking overanalyzing that filled the Cathy strips leading up to the big decision and the big day itself. This collection features some of the couple's most memorable moments from throughout their long relationship, but the spotlight shines most on the year that included the unexpected “ring find,” the proposal, the “YES,” and the frenetic wedding plans that Cathy and Mom both endure and perpetuate. 
   
  The longest courtship in cartoon page history came to an end on February 5, 2005. But as The Wedding of Cathy and Irving shows, nothing is quite that simple in Cathy’s world. Whether she’s pondering pastor possibilities or worrying wedding dress selections to death, Cathy is unequalled in capturing the conundrums of modern women everywhere. It’s all Cathy, through and through.

  A moving story told in visual art and fiction about gentrification, aging in place, grief, and vulnerable Chinese Canadian elders
  		 
  Bringing together ink artwork and fiction, Denison Avenue by Daniel Innes (illustrations) and Christina Wong (text) follows the elderly Wong Cho Sum, who, living in Toronto’s gentrifying Chinatown–Kensington Market, begins to collect bottles and cans after the sudden loss of her husband as a way to fill her days and keep grief and loneliness at bay. In her long walks around the city, Cho Sum meets new friends, confronts classism and racism, and learns how to build a life as a widow in a neighborhood that is being destroyed and rebuilt, leaving elders like her behind.
  		 
  A poignant meditation on loss, aging, gentrification, and the barriers that Chinese Canadian seniors experience in big cities, Denison Avenue beautifully combines visual art, fiction, and the endangered Toisan dialect to create a book that is truly unforgettable.

   A charming tale of the times when mom and dad stand on different sides of the same opinion – their child’s happiness 
  Explaining to your child that pops and moms lead separate lives of their own and sometimes have a bone to pick up with each other can be a tough challenge! 
  It gets even trickier when your young one starts to wonder why pops is not getting along with grandpa or his borthers. 
  Our main character Theo is a tween like everyone else – he is bored out of his mind at home and wants some adventure to shake up his monotonous school days. It’s when his parents decide to visit the castle of Monroe do things become a bit shaky. 
  “A Visit to Monroe” tells the story of the backstage life parents often hide from their children and the consequences when our secrets come to light. Though thin on the outside, this small tale of ordinary life teaches youngsters how to act according to their family virtues while still following their dreams and views on life. 
  A prayer on every page and invaluable life lessons throughout, you and your child will be equally enriched as you read him or her to sleep. 
  At times, we lack the basics for parenthood and so resort to fairytales, stories, and even professional help. Having one of these books by your side when a lesson must be taught will aid you when your own words fail you.

  “We seek him here, we seek him there, Those Frenchies seek him everywhere" 
   
  “It was long past midnight when at last Marguerite retired to rest" 
   
  “Money and titles may be hereditary,” she would say, “but brains are not.” 
   
  The story is set during the Reign of Terror following the French Revolution. The title is the nom de guerre of its hero and protagonist, a chivalrous Englishman who rescues aristocrats before they are sent to the guillotine. Sir Percy Blakeney leads a double life: apparently nothing more than a wealthy fop but in reality a formidable swordsman and a quick-thinking escape artist. The band of gentlemen who assist him are the only ones who know his secret identity. He is known by his symbol, a simple flower, the scarlet pimpernel. Opening at the New Theatre in London's West End on January 5, 1905, the play became a favorite of British audiences, eventually playing more than 2,000 performances. 
    
  Baroness Emma Orczy, usually known as Baroness Orczy or to her family and friends as Emmuska Orczy, was a Hungarian-born British novelist and playwright. 
  A true audiobook treasure!
