Book excerpt: Granny may be old, but she’s certainly not feeble – or idle! She’s built a splendid vegetable garden from scratch on the rooftop of her Chengdu apartment building. She collects thrown-away produce to feed her animals or make compost for the garden. She waters, weeds, and shows the neighborhood kids how to care for her plants: with love, patience, and pride. Come harvest time, Granny gathers her fresh produce and cooks up a delicious feast for her friends and family. She even sends them off with extra bags of goodies so people can make their own yummy, healthy meals at home! Debut author/illustrator Tang Wei creates a love letter to an indomitable grandma of the city, inspired by her own childhood and a beloved relative. Combining a fun, rhythmic text reminiscent of Chinese folk nursery rhymes with earthy, vibrant colored pencil drawings, Wei shows how one person can create a beautiful green space in the heart of the concrete jungle and bring together an entire community. P R A I S E ★ “This heartwarming tale is one to share and treasure.” –BookPage (starred) ★ “In this exquisite debut inspired by her childhood and a precious elder, Wei lovingly cultivates a picture book that captures Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan province, with expressionistic folk art and vibrant, textured colored-pencil illustrations… Readers with a green thumb will admire Granny’s passion for giving back to the community while living happily and healthily in green spaces.” –Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred)

Book Synopsis PsychoBabbleJabble by : Kurt D LaRose
Download or read book PsychoBabbleJabble written by Kurt D LaRose and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will likely irritate every reader at some point. One chapter is so bold it intones the good of a mother who kills her children. The chapter does not say the murderous mother was a good woman, or that she did a good thing; it doesn’t say that her actions should be without penalty or consequence. The chapter suggests, basically, in a metaphoric and anecdotal ending, that the mother loves the ones she killed. PsychoBabbleJabble is full of these kinds of challenges; this book is written and designed to tackle human judgment. My work as a therapist, a clinician, and as a helper in different settings, and in different states even (I am licensed in Florida, the District of Columbia, and Missouri), plus with my hypnosis training, all of these play a role in this writing. The reader will see and experience the maneuvering of words, each used to explain and help promote understanding in how people’s judgments are formed. Many judgments are those that I like to call ‘terminal thoughts.’ For some reason or another, certain thoughts are seemingly non-negotiable to the holder of them. With terminal thoughts in mind (we all have them), I’m able to, using my writing, go with the reader using their various lines of thinking, as if their beliefs are absolutely true. Then, near each chapter ending, I include an alternative and new perspective, where a question about the once absolute belief is now wedged toward and in between a different belief. ‘Wedged,’ meaning a small detail of alternative thought is strategically placed juxtaposition to a terminal thought, that the reader once used (or uses still, maybe) to hold up a rationale supporting ‘truth.’ By each chapters end, the belief is jolted loose a tiny bit, hopefully. It is in that jolting, where a belief becomes finally questioned and questionable. This text contains my best writing and some of my best clinical recall. All of my training is included in some way in every part of this text; the hypnosis training kicks my writing up a notch. Here, using people’s RIGHTNESS as an ally in shaping a new belief, I contradict the old truth while valuing it, in key and passionate areas of what might be called life and the people that make it so. That’s what I’d say this book hopes to do – to jolt loose, just a little bit those absolute judgments we as humans may unknowingly, without ill intent, and possibly mistakenly hold as settled.

Book Synopsis Grandma's Humongous Suitcase by : Elsi Abebe
Download or read book Grandma's Humongous Suitcase written by Elsi Abebe and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-05-05 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Elsi Abebe's Grandma’s Humongous Suitcase is a wonderful story which reminded me very fondly and even sadly about my grandmothers, my paternal and maternal grandmas. Fondly because of how much I loved sitting at the bottom of their feet and listening to their stories; which I sucked in and absorbed like a sponge. Sadly because I have so many questions still, to ask them NOW, but they are gone. Children, those lucky enough to still have their grandmas, should love and appreciate them, find time to spend with them and ask them lots of questions, your family's history and culture, and I promise you, out of 'Grandma's big suitcase', lots of wisdom that you will remember years later when YOU too are grandmas. I recommend this wonderful book strongly." Her Excellency Ambassador Konji Sebati (former South African Ambassador to Switzerland and France.) "Grandma’s Humongous Suitcase is a heart warming children’s story book that you can read to your kids. Elsi has figured out a way to educate children and adult alike about the rich history of Ethiopia through the eyes of a precocious young Ethiopian American girl. In this easy to read account of the universal bond between grandparents and grandchildren, Elsi has managed to weave together a tale of love, pride and history that is flavored in humor. I for one look forward to reading about 'Konjo’s' time with grandma during their summer break!" Dr.Ebba K. Ebba Pediatrician “ Grandma’s Humongous Suitcase is a very well written story that introduces children to the land that their parents came from or to the country that they were born. As every item in the suitcase connects the children with their own history and culture, the tale also shows the love and affection that connects grandparents to their grandchildren. Even though this is Elsi Abebe's first children's book, it reads as if she has done it many more times as the stories she told her own two children." Elias Wondimu Publisher/Social Activist "Grandma’s Humongous Suitcase, is a beautiful story which makes kids born from Ethiopian parents to be proud of being of Ethiopian descent. It tells why Ethiopian and Ethiopian-American children should love and appreciate Ethiopia, her history and culture. Indeed out of the big suitcase of grandma come out nice things which excite children in general. Elsi Abebe , being a mother herself, knows things which enchant kids. She describes them in a simple and understandable language. This book will be educational and entertaining to many children. I commend it strongly." Fikre Tolossa, Ph. D. Poet-playwright “ When I was a child living in Ethiopia and visiting in the United States, I found that American teachers and students--and my own relatives and new friends--knew almost nothing about the beautiful country where I'd lived since I was two years old. How sad! I want everyone to read and share 'Grandma's Humongous Suitcase' so that people on many continents will understand more about the culture and traditions of Ethiopia.” Jane Kurtz is an award-winning children's book author of thirty books, including Fire on the Mountain, Faraway Home, Saba: Under the Hyena's Foot, and Trouble "I really enjoyed reading 'Grandma’s Humongous Suitcase' by Elsi Abebe. I read many stories to children at the Stanley British Primary School. They will love this story. It depicts how important it is for children who are brought up in a different country from their parents to understand their own family culture and be proud of their heritage. My husband and I brought our four children to U.S.A. from England, when they were small. Grandma's rare visit was vitally important." Carolyn Hambidge Founder of Stanley British Primary School

But it didn’t take long for Paul to turn Centerville Christian Church around. Attendance was up-way up. Everything was going so well. If only his wife could see it that way. Still, he tried not to let her quiet presence disturb him. She knew something wasn’t right, and it hadn’t been for a long time. . . . Eunice closed the bedroom door quietly and knelt beside her bed. “I’m drowning, God. I’ve never felt so alone. Who can I turn to but you, Lord?

Who but you?” “This book is a powerful and almost-prophetic statement of the church in America. . . . And the Shofar Blew is a must-read.” —Anne Graham Lotz, bestselling author and speaker

Download or read book Buryin' Daddy written by Teresa Nicholas and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2011-02-24 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A descendant of Lebanese Catholic immigrants on her father's side and Baptist sharecroppers on her mother's, Teresa Nicholas recounts in Buryin' Daddy a southern upbringing with an unusual inflection. As the book opens, the author recalls her charmed early childhood in the late 1950s, when she and her family live with her grandparents in a graceful old bungalow in Yazoo City, Mississippi. But when the author is five, her eccentric father—secretive, penurious, autocratic, hoarding—moves his growing family into a condemned duplex nearby. Separated from her beloved grandmother and chafing under her father's erratic discipline, the girl longs to flee from the awful decrepit house. When she's a teenager, she and her father find themselves on conflicting sides of the civil rights movement and their arguments grow more painful, until a scholarship to a northeastern college provides the means of her escape. Two decades later, Nicholas has built a successful career in book publishing in New York. When her father dies suddenly, she returns to Mississippi for the funeral and to spend a month in the hated duplex as her mother comes to terms with her husband's passing. But as she sorts through the strange detritus of her father's life, the author comes to understand that he was far more complex than the angry man she thought she knew. And as she draws closer to her surprisingly resilient mother, affected by stroke but full of blunt country talk, she finds that her mother is also far from the naïve, helpless creature she remembers. Through a series of surprising and oddly humorous discoveries, the author and her mother will begin to unravel her father's poignant secrets together in this graceful and generous exploration of the intermingling of shame and love that lie at the heart of family life.
