Gloria Amescua; Illustrated by Duncan Tonatiuh
R355 Discovery Miles 3 550 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Award-winning illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh brings to life debut author Gloria Amescua's lyrical biography of an indigenous Nahua woman from Mexico who taught and preserved her people's culture through modeling for famous artists She was Luz Jimenez, child of the flower-song people, the powerful Aztec, who called themselves Nahua- who lost their land but who did not disappear. As a young Nahua girl in Mexico during the early 1900s, Luz learned how to grind corn in a metate, to twist yarn with her toes, and to weave on a loom. By the fire at night, she listened to stories of her community's joys, suffering, and survival, and wove them into her heart. But when the Mexican Revolution came to her village, Luz and her family were forced to flee and start a new life. In Mexico City, Luz became a model for painters, sculptors, and photographers such as Diego Rivera, Jean Charlot, and Tina Modotti. These artists were interested in showing the true face of Mexico and not a European version. Through her work, Luz found a way to preserve her people's culture by sharing her native language, stories, and traditions. Soon, scholars came to learn from her. This moving, beautifully illustrated biography tells the remarkable story of how model and teacher Luz Jimenez became "the soul of Mexico"-a living link between the indigenous Nahua and the rest of the world. Through her deep pride in her roots and her unshakeable spirit, the world came to recognize the beauty and strength of her people. The book includes an author's note, timeline, glossary, and bibliography.

R1,794 Discovery Miles 17 940 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Kinderlyrik bewegt sich zwischen den Polen Oralitat und Literalitat. Dieses Dasein im Dazwischen spiegelt sich auch in den kindlichen Umgangsweisen mit Kinderlyrik wider. Neben einer historisch-hermeneutischen Verortung der Gattung Kinderlyrik wird in diesem Buch dessen Realisierung untersucht. Dabei wird zunachst der Blick auf die Familie als primarer Sozialisationsinstanz gerichtet. Ihre Bedeutung wird im Hinblick auf die Entwicklung von Sprachbewusstheit untersucht. Im Zentrum der Uberlegungen stehen schlieszlig; lich die Leistungen von Vorschulkindern im Umgang mit gereimter Sprache. Ihre sprachilchen Handlungen verweisen auf das Vorhandensein von Phonologischer Bewusstheit und Metasprachilichkeit und markieren damit eine erste Annaherung an Schriftsprachlichkeit. Es wird gezeigt, dass Kinder, die noch nicht lesen und schreiben konnen, bereits uber Wissensstrukturen verfugen, die erste Spuren von Literalitat aufweisen.

With over 200,000 Instagram followers, Danielle Krysa has helped a lot of people overcome the fear that they "aren't creative." In books like Creative Block and Your Inner Critic is a Big Jerk she calls out the self-criticism that keeps us from claiming and expressing our artistic abilities. Now she uses her characteristic playfulness, lively illustrations, and humor to help kids overcome negativity about their artistic endeavors-and to help them redefine what being an artist means. Every page delivers encouragement to the kid who thinks artists all live in cities, or that art has to look like something familiar, or that painting and drawing are the only way to make art. In a world that drastically undervalues creative freedom, Krysa's whimsical paintings and collages joyfully proclaim that art is essential and that artists are everywhere. Additionally, a page at the back of the book includes ideas for art projects-because who wants fewer art projects? Nobody!
