Sinopse

Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is a seminal work in the realm of children's literature, celebrated for its whimsical narrative and imaginative depth. Composed in 1865, the book employs a unique blend of nonsense verse and playful language, weaving a fantastical tapestry that explores themes of identity, logic, and the surreal nature of childhood. Its literary style is marked by vivid imagery and clever wordplay, engaging readers both young and old while challenging conventional notions of reality. Often regarded as a precursor to surrealism, Carroll's narrative defies linear progression, immersing the reader in a dreamlike landscape where the absurd becomes the norm. Lewis Carroll, the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was not only a mathematician and logician but also an avid photographer and storyteller. His fascination with the imagination and childhood innocence heavily influenced his writing, as evidenced by the formative experiences he had with the Liddell sisters, particularly Alice Liddell, who inspired the character of Alice. His academic background lent a distinct intellectual rigor to his playful storytelling, blending fantasy with philosophical inquiry. "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is a must-read for those who appreciate the intersections of whimsy and intellect. The text invites readers to lose themselves in its enchanting, paradoxical world while igniting curiosity about the nature of perception and reality. Whether you are revisiting the tale or discovering it for the first time, Carroll's masterpiece promises an exhilarating journey into the realms of imagination.

    Milly wants to win a medal for Irish dancing, just like her neighbour Abbie Horgan. But Irish dancing takes talent, and Milly's skills are in short supply. No matter – a second-hand wig, a fancy frock and a pair of poodle socks ensure she at least looks the part.
    But if there's trouble to be found, Milly will find it – and when she's subbed into a dance group at short notice, there's only one way things can go … disastrously!
    From sick students to sprained ankles, it's quite the performance from Milly and co. The feis is turning into a fiasco …  and they'll be lucky to get home in one piece, let alone with any medals!

    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.
