Synopsis

In "The Boy's King Arthur," Thomas Sir Malory presents a retelling of Arthurian legends, crafted specifically for a younger audience, yet infused with the same rich narrative traditions that characterize the original tales. Malory's prose remains accessible and engaging, characterized by a blend of adventure, moral lessons, and vivid imagery that brings to life the valorous deeds of knights, the heroic quests for the Holy Grail, and the tragic undertones of betrayal. This adaptation, stripped of excessive complexities, highlights the core virtues of chivalry, honor, and loyalty, making it a compelling introduction to the legendary figures of the Round Table. Thomas Sir Malory, an English writer of the 15th century, drew from a variety of sources, including earlier Arthurian texts and oral traditions. His desire to preserve these timeless stories in a coherent form indicated his deep appreciation for their moral and cultural significance, seen vividly in his larger work, "Le Morte d'Arthur." "The Boy's King Arthur" stands as a testament to his dedication to adapt these narratives for the enlightenment and enjoyment of youth, ensuring their relevance across generations. Highly recommended for young readers and those interested in the noble themes of Arthurian lore, "The Boy's King Arthur" serves as both an educational tool and a delightful journey through the chivalric realm. Malory's ability to distill profound lessons through entertaining storytelling makes this work both enjoyable and enriching, thus inviting readers of all ages to explore the legendary world of King Arthur.

    An artful mixture of fantasy and reality, humor and heart, Maya Was Grumpy celebrates the power of imagination and humor to improve moods. Maya wakes up on the wrong side of the bed, tangled in her blanket, and in a crispy, cranky, grumpy, grouchy mood. She doesn't want to read or color or go outside to play. What's worse, she's determined to share her grumpiness with everyone as she glumps, clumps, and thumps around the house. But when Maya growls at her grandmother, Gramma graciously takes Maya's mood in stride, and even has a solution: Gramma suggests a series of unusual activities that Maya will probably not want to do since she's feeling grumpy—and then dismisses her own silly suggestions before Maya can reject them. Children will find it hard to keep from smiling as they watch Maya's grouchiness dissolve into glee at Gramma's giggle-inducing ideas, while adults will find Gramma's clever tactic a useful strategy to add to their repertoire when kids are grumpy.

    Meet the rebels, robbers, radicals, determined teenagers, and ordinary Americans who shaped our Constitutional rights.  
      
    The first ten amendments of the U.S. Constitution—known as the Bill of Rights—include the guarantee that no person may be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. Yet this soaring vision of human rights was written by enslavers who deprived others of these rights. The struggle to resolve this paradox continues to the present day. 
      
    From Teri Kanefield comes the story of the Bill of Rights, from the founding of America to the first sedition laws, slavery, women’s equality, the Civil War, Prohibition, the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII, the Civil Rights movement, gun control, and more. 
      
    Using real court cases, Kanefield explains the meaning of each of the first ten amendments. The result is the story of Americans who have tested the limits of their rights or demanded that their rights be recognized. 
      
    With thought-provoking text, Rebels, Robbers, and Radicals explores how our rights have evolved as the nation grew and changed. 
      
    "A compelling exploration of the Bill of Rights that weaves together landmark cases, historical narratives, and reflections on the paradoxes of liberty … The clear prose guides readers through complex constitutional principles, making this work a useful educational resource … insightful, thought-provoking, and timely."—Kirkus Reviews
