June, 1942: I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as
I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be

fleeing the horrors of the Nazi occupation, Anne Frank and her
family were forced into hiding in the back of an Amsterdam
warehouse. Aged thirteen when she went into the secret annexe, Anne
Frank kept a diary in which she confided her innermost thoughts and
feelings, movingly revealing how the eight people living under
these extraordinary conditions coped with the daily threat of
discovery and death. Adapted by Ari Folman, illustrated by David
Polonsky, and authorized by the Anne Frank Foundation in Basel,
this is the first graphic edition of the beloved diary of Anne
Frank. 'Faithful to the spirit and often the language of the
diary... Mr Polonsky's beautiful artwork offers a charming and
convincing view of Anne on the page' THE ECONOMIST 'Folman and
Polonsky have reclaimed Anne Frank in all of her humanity, and they
allow us to witness for ourselves her beauty, courage, vision and
imagination. And, in doing so, they have elevated the tools of the
comic book to create an astonishing work of art.' JEWISH JOURNAL
'The illustrations [. . .] retell Anne's diary with great
compassion, wit and ebullience' StANDPOINT

As I travel around the United States and Canada as a safety
consultant and motivational speaker for schools, colleges,
universities, and private industry, I am amazed at the information
found on cooking located in bookstores and restaurants. Why write a
book about popcorn? Because I love popcorn, but more importantly,
like a student in a classroom, I had a need to learn more about one
of my favorite snacks. This book does more than just explain how to
pop corn. This book can be used by teachers as a history lesson and
be used in home economics, science classes, math classes,
agricultural classrooms, etc. Hopefully, this book will be used as
another fun tool to educate children. Everyone loves popcorn It is
my hope that you enjoy this book.

A NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY "BEST NEW COMIC OF 2022 FOR ADULTS"
Beautifully adapted and rendered through piercing illustrations by
acclaimed creators Brad Ricca and Courtney Sieh, Nellie Bly's
complete, true-to-life 19th-century investigation of Blackwell
Asylum captures a groundbreaking moment in history and reveals a
haunting and timely glimpse at the starting point for conversations
on mental health. "I said I could and I would. And I did." While
working for Joseph Pulitzer's newspaper in 1887, Nellie Bly began
an undercover investigation into the local Women's Lunatic Asylum
on Blackwell Island. Intent on seeing what life was like on the
inside, Bly fooled trained physicians into thinking she was
insane--a task too easily achieved--and had herself committed. In
her ten days at the asylum, Bly witnessed horrifying conditions:
the food was inedible, the women were forced into labor for the
staff, the nurses and doctors were cruel or indifferent, and many
of the women held there had no mental disorder of any kind. Now
adapted into graphic novel form by Brad Ricca and vividly rendered
with beautiful and haunting illustrations by Courtney Sieh, Bly's
bold venture is given new life and meaning. Her fearless
investigation into the living conditions at the Blackwell Asylum
forever changed the field of journalism. A timely reminder to take
notice of forgotten populations, Ten Days in a Mad-House warns us
what happens when we look away.
