This beautifully-written rhyming picture book, illustrated with
brilliantly colored paintings, celebrates the unique talents,
gifts, and potential possessed by each child. Children of all
ethnicities, cultures, and physical abilities will find
encouragement to learn and excel within these pages. Written by a
mom and educator, Every Child Is Gifted contains affirmation and
inspiration for fellow educators and parents who seek to identify
and cultivate children's interests, gifts, and abilities, which
promise to eventually blossom into their purpose and enable them to
help others. Most importantly, Every Child Is Gifted is an
invitation to see beyond children's exteriors and backgrounds to
discover the treasure within. After all, one can never judge a book
by its cover...
Imbokodo: Women Who Shape Us is a groundbreaking series of books
which introduces you to the powerful stories of South African women
who have all made their mark and cleared a path for women and
girls. These books recognise, acknowledge and honour our heroines
and elders from the past and the present. South African women are
silent no more on the roles that we have played in advancing our
lives as artists, storytellers, writers, politicians and
educationists. The title 'Imbokodo' was been chosen as it is a Zulu
word that means "rock" and is often used in the saying 'Wathint'
Abafazi, Wathint' Imbokodo!', which means "You Strike a Women, You
Strike a Rock!" These books were made possible with the support of
Biblionef and funding from the National Arts Council. In 10 Curious
Inventors, Healers & Creators you will read about the women who
shape our world through education, science and maths. You will read
about women who became teachers, nurses, social workers, scientists
and community workers, overcame obstacles and through their work
fought for social change.

In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy
bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of
Jean-Michel Basquiat, the graffiti street art movement pioneer.
Jean-Michel was born in Brooklyn, New York, to a Puerto Rican
mother and Haitian father. When he was eight and recovering from an
accident in bed, his mother gave him a copy of Gray's Anatomy,
which sparked his interest in the human form. As a teenager, he
gained recognition as part of the graffito duo SAMO that
spray-painted cryptic messages and images around the landscape of
Manhattan's Lower East Side. He eventually made his way to the New
York gallery scene and on to international acclaim. This moving
book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at
the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos
and a detailed profile of the brilliant artist's life. Little
People, BIG DREAMS is a bestselling series of books and educational
games that explore the lives of outstanding people, from designers
and artists to scientists and activists. All of them achieved
incredible things, yet each began life as a child with a dream.

sentences, perfect for reading aloud to babies and toddlers. The
