Book Synopsis A Multimodal Approach to Challenging Gender Stereotypes in Children’s Picture Books by : A. Jesús Moya-Guijarro
Download or read book A Multimodal Approach to Challenging Gender Stereotypes in Children’s Picture Books written by A. Jesús Moya-Guijarro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection offers a thorough treatment of the ways in which the verbal and visual semiotic modes interrelate toward promoting gender equality and social inclusion in children’s picture books. Drawing on cutting-edge theoretical work in multimodality, including multimodal cognitive linguistics, multimodal discourse analysis, and visual social semiotics, the book expands on descriptive-oriented studies to offer a more linguistically driven perspective on children’s picture books. The volume explores the choice afforded to and the lexico-semantic and discursive strategies employed by writers and illustrators in conveying representational, interpersonal, and textual meanings in the verbal and non-verbal components in these narratives in order to challenge gender stereotypes and promote the social inclusion of same-sex parent families. This book will be of particular interest to students and scholars in multimodality, discourse analysis, social semiotics, and children’s literature.

Book Synopsis Children's Literature by : Diana Mitchell
Download or read book Children's Literature written by Diana Mitchell and published by Allyn & Bacon. This book was released on 2002 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children's Literature: An Invitation to the World is written and organized in a manner that engages the readers and that will instill confidence in teachers when selecting and using literature in their teaching. Readers are asked to take a world view of literature-what it is; how to recognize one's own; how to recognize an author's-and encouraged to see children's literature through a lens that includes people not like themselves. The book tackles tough issues such as gender and racial bias and how they can be insidiously promoted in literature. No other book on the market engages readers more than this one. Rather than just presenting topics, the book asks "What can we learn from them?" In addition, the first-person narrative involves readers in the discussion, rather than simply presenting content to them. Elementary and middle school teachers, curriculum developers and anyone interested in children's literature.

Book excerpt: Kids love stuff that's gross. From the liquids, solids, and gases--especially the gases!--or their own bodies to the creepy, crawly, slimy, slithery, fetid, and feculent phenomena in the world at large, kids with a curious bent just can't get enough. Oh, Yuck! The Encyclopedia of Everything Nasty brings together, in one book, all the good things about some of the baddest things on Earth. Exhaustively researched and impeccably scientific, yet written with a lively lack of earnestness, Oh, Yuck! is an ants to zits encyclopedic compendium covering people, animals, insects, plants, foods, and more. Here are vampire bats, which sip blood and pee at the same time so that they'll always be light enough to fly away; and slime eels, wreathed in mucus and eating fellow fish from the inside out. Oh, Yuck! explains why vomit smells; where dandruff comes from; what pus is all about; and why maggots adore rotting meant. Other features include gross recipes, putrid projects, 10 foods that make you airborne, and more. With hundreds of cartoon illustrations and real-life photographs, Oh, Yuck! is the complete guide to the irresistible--at least to an 8-to-12 year old--underbelly of life.
Book Synopsis The Unfinished Work by : Frank Meredith
Download or read book The Unfinished Work written by Frank Meredith and published by Savannah. This book was released on 2008-03-19 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: June, 1863. Confederate troops invade Pennsylvania intent on winning their 2nd War of Independence. Jake must choose: fight for southern freedom and earn the love of his Virginia belle, or defend his home and fight to end slavery? His decision puts him front and center at several pivotal events in the Gettysburg Campaign, where he discovers his ultimate call is to an even higher duty.Like "The Killer Angels," "The Unfinished Work" features vivid, eyewitness accounts of participants on both sides of the battle lines. As in "Gone with the Wind," Eliza, a pampered southern belle, must cope with the life-changing consequences of the war, watch her lover go off to join the fight, and deal with the most unexpected rival for his affections - her sister, Kathleen."Skillfully interweaving history and fiction in well-constructed, flowing prose, the author engages the reader from the beginning of The Unfinished Work and holds that attention as the story unfolds. The appeal of the work is far reaching: In-depth historical detail, character interaction with authentic Civil War-era individuals, and the eyewitness accounts from several battles will appeal to readers of both history and historical fiction. And the fast-paced action, lively and believable characters, and engrossing storylines will attract readers of general fiction." Greenleaf Book Group "Frank has a firm grasp of the events, but what struck me most was the development of his fictional characters. Buy this book, you will surely be as enthralled as I was."Michael Noirot, BattlefieldPortraits.com"I loved the book. It isn't often that I get to say that. I'm glad that you didn't sugarcoat the ending or other parts of the novel. I think it's necessary to describe the toll of war on society. Yet the love story gives the novel a lighter tone."Jess Krout, The Evening Sun, Hanover, PA
