The Pearl of Peace; or The Little Peacemaker - A Heartwarming Tale of Friendship and Peaceful Resolution

Madeline Leslie

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "The Pearl of Peace; or, The Little Peacemaker," Madeline Leslie crafts a poignant narrative that delves into the themes of reconciliation, empathy, and the moral imperatives of childhood behavior. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century America, this didactic tale employs a rich, narrative style that intertwines lyrical prose with a strong moral message. Leslie's writing reflects the era's preoccupation with instilling ethical values in youth, drawing upon both sentimentalism and realism to evoke the complex emotions surrounding familial relationships and community bonds. As an author deeply engaged in the moral and educational dimensions of literature, Madeline Leslie was influenced by her own experiences as an educator and a fervent advocate for children's literature. Her works, often imbued with a clear pedagogical intent, mirror her commitment to nurturing moral character in young readers. Leslie's position within the literary landscape of the time aligns her with other reformist writers who aimed to prepare the next generation for a socially harmonious existence through fables and parables. I highly recommend "The Pearl of Peace" to readers seeking a thoughtful exploration of the virtues of peace and forgiveness, particularly those interested in children's literature with a strong ethical foundation. This beautifully crafted story not only entertains but also serves as a timeless reminder of the power of compassion in bridging divides, making it a valuable addition to both personal and educational collections.

Coming Home - A Hopi Resistance...

Mavasta Honyouti

From master Hopi woodcarver Mavasta Honyouti, the story of his grandfather’s experience at a residential boarding school and how he returned home to pass their traditions down to future generations.
When Mavasta Honyouti was a boy, he would go with his grandfather to their cornfield, watching him nurture every plant and whittle beautiful carvings into paako root with his pocketknife – carvings Mavasta would later learn to do himself.
But Mavasta would often wonder: what was his kwa’a like when he was a boy? And one day, he heard the story.
Mavasta’s grandfather, like many Native American children across the country in the late 19th and early 20th century, was forced to leave his Hopi reservation as a child and go to a residential boarding school far away. There, the government cut his hair, punished him for speaking his native language, and gave him a new name. But Mavasta's grandfather never forgot who he was – or where he came from – and he tried to escape again and again. Finally, he made it back to their reservation.
In later years, Mavasta’s kwa’a chose a simple life, taking great care of his family just like he took great care of his plants. His son and later his grandson became acclaimed Hopi katsina woodcarvers, just like him. Coming Home: A Hopi Resistance Story is a deeply personal book – written in both English and Hopi. It is an unforgettable testament to one man rising above a painful piece of history to keep the light of his family and culture alive.
"This powerful tale is a much-needed reminder that Indigenous peoples’ stories, despite being threaded with trauma, are marked by defiance and pride. A stirring tribute to Hopi culture, language, and resistance.”–Kirkus (starred)
