Sinopsis

In "Little Bessie, the Careless Girl, or, Squirrels, Nuts, and Water-Cresses," Josephine Franklin embarks on a vibrant exploration of childhood innocence and the complexities of growing up. Through the adventures of Bessie, a spirited and carefree girl, Franklin employs a whimsical writing style characterized by playful language and vivid imagery, inviting readers into a world where nature and childhood imagination intertwine. The narrative serves as a reflection on the simple joys and the occasional misadventures that define youth, while also subtly critiquing the societal expectations placed on children in the late 19th century. Josephine Franklin, a prominent figure in children's literature during her time, was deeply influenced by her own experiences as a caretaker and educator. Her passion for nurturing young minds and her keen observations of nature are apparent in Bessie'Äôs escapades, where squirrels and water-cresses serve not just as backdrop but as integral parts of the narrative. Franklin's understanding of childhood emotions and her ability to articulate them through engaging stories stem from her background in pedagogical practices and her love for the outdoors. This enchanting tale is highly recommended for readers of all ages who cherish the ethos of childhood exploration and the delightful chaos it often entails. Franklin'Äôs work serves as a gentle reminder of the beauty found in simplicity and the importance of embracing one's natural surroundings, making it a timeless treasure suitable for both personal enjoyment and educational purposes.

A Through-the-Alphabet Celebration of Queer History in the US, from the Publisher of the New York Times Bestseller The ABCs of Black History   In this book brimming with P for Pride, writer and poet Seema Yasmin celebrates all the joys and challenges of queer history in the United States through lively, rhyming verse. This is a book of people, of ideas, of accomplishments and events. It’s a book about Allies and Ancestors, about Belonging and Being accepted, about Hope, Knowledge, and Love. About historic moments like Stonewall, and how it changed the world. And all about Trailblazers, like Audre Lorde, James Baldwin, Josephine Baker, Harvey Milk, Barbara Jordan, George Takei, Elliot Page, and Sally Ride. And ultimately, it’s a book to help kids learn a different kind of ABCs—not just words like apple, ball or cat, but rather the essence of what it means to be diverse, to be equitable, to be inclusive. That no one counts unless we all count, and how we must open our eyes and ears, minds and hearts, to hear everyone’s story and understand and celebrate their experience.
