Beschreibung

From New York Times bestselling, Newbery Honor and Coretta Scott King Author Award-winning author Renée   Watson comes a captivating and poignant coming-of-age urban novel  about  sisters, friends, and what it means to embrace change. 
 
Maya   Younger and her identical twin sister, Nikki, have always agreed on  the  important things. Friends. Boys. School. They even plan to attend  the  same historically African American college. 
But nothing can always remain the same. 
 
As   their Portland neighborhood goes from rough-and-tumble to   up-and-coming, Maya feels her connection to Nikki and their community   slipping away. Nikki spends more time at trendy coffee shops than   backyard barbecues, and their new high school principal is more   committed to erasing the neighborhood's "ghetto" reputation than   honoring its history. Home doesn't feel like home anymore. As Maya   struggles to hold on to her black heritage, she begins to wonder with   whom--or where--she belongs. Does growing up have to mean growing  apart?
Verfügbar seit: 03.02.2016.
Drucklänge: 250 Seiten.

    “Delightful and charming . . . Deliver[s] a valuable lesson on treating all such creatures with respect, without falling into the trap of being preachy.” —Kiddiespace  A Huntsman Spider in My House features a young girl concerned about the huge unwelcome guest in her room. Rather than reacting by immediately killing the spider, as commonly taught by society, she finds another way: She catches the Huntsman instead, and then releases it outside to let it live and contribute to the ecosystem of Australian fauna. The little girl’s actions show that insects are important, necessary, not so scary, and support the world too.   “The young, nameless female protagonist of Sylvie Ashford’s charming book speaks in rhyme as she explains the habits of Huntsman Spiders to children as well as to the adults that read the book aloud . . . We thoroughly endorse educating young children to have more tolerance for the lower beasts.” —What’s That Bug?   “The story follows her beautifully simplistic childlike thought process as she explores her feelings about it, and the ways in which the spider could be dealt with . . . It leaves you with a deep sense of satisfaction, and provides a practical fear-resolution solution to which kids of all ages can relate.” —Kiddiespace   “Michelle Ray, author of A Huntsman Spider in My House, does a wonderful job weaving a story to teach young children not to be afraid.” —The Education Cafe

    The Story of Little Boy Blue -...

    "Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn, 
    The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn; 
    Where's the little boy that minds the sheep? 
    He's under the haystack, fast asleep!" 
    So what is this all about? Why is he asleep? Is he just lazy or is there a good reason for this? That wonderful storyteller Baum, of Wizard of Oz fame, tells us the delightful story behind this little rhyme and we all will feel much better knowing that the little boy had excellent reasons to be asleep that morning. Listen and enjoy the whole nifty story. Many of our most loved nursery rhymes are complete tales in themselves, telling their story tersely but completely; there are others which are but bare suggestions, leaving the imagination to weave in the details of the story. Perhaps therein may lie part of their charm, but however that may be the children might like the stories told at greater length, that they may dwell the longer upon their favorite heroes and heroines.
