Sinossi

An ALA Best Book: “A Harlem teenager learns to apply the will he has to win at hoops to other parts of his life in this vivid, fluent story.” —Kirkus Reviews 
 
Winner of the Coretta Scott King Award 
 
Seventeen-year-old Greg “Slam” Harris can do it all on the basketball court. He’s seen ballplayers come and go, and he knows he could be one of the lucky ones. Maybe he’ll make it to the top. Or maybe he’ll stumble along the way. Slam’s grades aren’t that hot. And when his teachers jam his troubles in his face, he blows up. Slam never doubted himself on the court—until he found himself going one-on-one with his own future, and he didn’t have the ball . . .  
 
From New York Times–bestselling author Walter Dean Myers, a National Book Award finalist in Young People’s Literature, this is an “admirably realistic coming of age novel” about the challenges of moving toward adulthood—and out of your comfort zone (Booklist, starred review).
Disponibile da: 30/08/2016.

    A little girl tries to prove she can do everything in this heartwarming story that reminds us how satisfying it is to grow up surrounded by love. 
 
I Can Do It Too! affirms a little girl’s growing independence as she, too, can begin to do all the things she sees her parents, relatives, and neighbors do: pouring juice at breakfast, strumming a guitar, and even riding a bike! The simple cadence of text and direct-to-the-heart art result in a book as warm and generous as its message, providing reading pleasure for toddlers, older siblings, and the grown-ups who love them. 
 
“Her enthusiasm is contagious. . . . A winner for perusing alone or reading at storytimes.” —Booklist 
 
“Physical skills are not the only kind in focus here, for a happy contagion of kindness is also afoot. The support of her family and congenial companions has the very finest of effects, and best of all, at the end of it all, is our little heroine’s unspoiled and generous display of encouragement for one even smaller than she.” —Kirkus Reviews 
 
“Young children are continually faced with challenging developmental milestones, and this affirming read-aloud offers lots of encouragement. . . . Colorful, full-page illustrations show her pouring juice like Dad, holding a book like Grandpa, putting on clothes like her big sister, etc. Preschoolers are likely to repeat the catchy title refrain. A good choice for toddler collections.” —School Library Journal

    In this book, the author, Mwanandeke, has examined the most confused and controversial topic of all the time. That is to say, The Origin Sin, or the sin that was committed by Adam and Eve. It is the most misunderstood concept that resulted in the three major Abrahamic religions going their separate ways. 
The doctrine of the Origin Sin implies that there is no free-will and we must all follow in the footsteps of our father Adam and mother Eve. In other words, we are left without choice but to inherit their sins and expect to be judged accordingly. Following the Christians doctrine, Jesus was born, raised and died on the cross in order to break the burden of the Origin Sin. Again, all in the name of paying the price of the damage that was done before his existence; washing away your sins and thus, achieving salvation. 
Whereas, the Jews in the Old Testament and Muslims in the Qur’an, took a different approach of achieving salvation. These last two groups demolished the idea of a single individual dying for the sins of mankind and the sacrifice of blood as the means of achieving salvation.
