Sinossi

In "Snubby Nose and Tippy Toes," Laura Rountree Smith masterfully weaves a whimsical tale that captures the essence of childhood wonder. The book employs a lyrical, rhythmic prose style that engages young readers while subtly incorporating age-appropriate themes such as friendship, self-acceptance, and the joys of exploration. Set against a backdrop of vivid illustrations and imaginative scenarios, Smith creates a literary context that echoes the moral underpinnings found in classic children'Äôs literature, reminiscent of the works of authors like Shel Silverstein and A.A. Milne, thus ensuring its appeal across generations. Laura Rountree Smith, an accomplished author and educator, draws on her extensive experience in children's literature and her passion for nurturing young minds. Her background in education, combined with her keen observations of childhood interactions, informs her writing, allowing her to resonate profoundly with her audience. Smith's commitment to promoting emotional intelligence and creativity among children is evident in the tender yet playful narrative of this book, which reflects her belief in the transformative power of storytelling. "Snubby Nose and Tippy Toes" is a delightful read that speaks to the hearts of both children and the adults who love them. Its enchanting language and relatable themes make it an essential addition to any child's library, encouraging readers to embrace their uniqueness and embark on their own adventures with joy. Highly recommended for parents, educators, and young readers alike.

    The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
    But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
    In this volume we collect together poets who, by the mere colour of their skin, were treated with such disdain and racism that it is difficult to believe that poetry of such tenderness, beauty and authority could exist.

    The author of the award-winning national bestseller I Done Clicked My Heels Three Times returns with a poetry collection that transforms the Black female speaker from object, artistic muse, and victim to subject, critic, and master of her story 
     
     
     
    Resting Bitch Face is a book for women, for Black women, for lovers of art and film criticism, and for writers interested in work that finds a middle ground between poetry and prose. Taylor Byas uses some of our most common ways of "watching" throughout history (painting, films, sculpture, and photographs) to explore how these mediums shape Black female subjectivity. 
     
     
     
    From the examination of artwork by Picasso, Gauguin, Sally Mann, and Nan Goldin, Byas displays her mastery of the poetic form by engaging in intimate and inventive writing. Fluctuating between watcher and watched, the speaker of these poems uses mirrors and reflections to flip the script and talk back to histories of art, text, photography, relationships, and men. From Polaroids to gesso primer to sculpture, Byas creates a world in which the artist calls out and the muse responds. For not only does she enter the world of the long-revered classic artist, but she also infuses her poems with such iconic pop culture works as The Joker, WandaVision, and Last Tango in Paris.
