In this timely tale of immigration, two cousins learn the
importance of family and friendship.
"A year of discoveries culminates in a performance full of
surprises, as two girls find their own way to belong.
"
Mexico may be her parents' home, but it's certainly not Margie's.
She has finally convinced the other kids at school she is
one-hundred percent American--just like them. But when her Mexican
cousin Lupe visits, the image she's created for herself crumbles.
Things aren't easy for Lupe, either. Mexico hadn't felt like home
since her father went North to find work. Lupe's hope of seeing him
in the United States comforts her some, but learning a new language
in a new school is tough. Lupe, as much as Margie, is in need of a
friend.
Little by little, the girls' individual steps find the rhythm of
one shared dance, and they learn what "home" really means. In the
tradition of My Name is Maria Isabel--and simultaneously published
in English and in Spanish--Alma Flor Ada and her son Gabriel M.
Zubizarreta offer an honest story of family, friendship, and the
classic immigrant experience: becoming part of something new, while
straying true to who you are.

A great new Bing picture book about how all kids want to have
plasters, whether they need one or not, based on the award-winning
CBeebies show. When Coco gets an ouchy papercut on her finger,
she's given a plaster by Flop, and Nurse Bing helps take care of
her. But Bing really, really wants a plaster too! But does he
actually need one?
Cooking for kids can be tricky but this book, packed with recipes
that have been tried and tested by thousands of kids, is here to
help. Feeding kids is a maze - one day they'll eat a whole cucumber
from one end to the other; for the next three weeks, they will
swear it's a slimy snozzcumber. Whether time or cash strapped, it's
all too tempting to turn to fish fingers, bangers and mash and
other kids' classics, whilst wishing it was easier to do it better
on all fronts: more exciting, more inspiring, more wholesome. If
only there was someone out there who knew how to feed kids really
well on a budget, who could inspire them to try different food, and
make it easy on the cook and easy on the pocket! Well, there is.
And Chefs in Schools would like to help. Chefs in Schools is a
charity that operates in over 80 schools and feeds up to 30,000
pupils a day. They have a plethora of renowned chefs that support
and endorse them as their patrons or trustees, including Thomasina
Miers, Yotam Ottolenghi, Henry Dimbleby, Prue Leith and Amelia
Freer. This cookbook stands apart from other 'cooking for kids'
cookbooks as the recipes are tried and tested on thousands of
children. They're nutritious and proven to work. This cookbook
tells the stories and shares the recipes of the people who are
helping to transform school food. Their mission is to teach
children to love and understand real food cooked from fresh
ingredients, and to inspire them not just to eat it, but to choose
it, and to learn to cook it for themselves too. Chapters include:
Breakfast, A New Way In, Midweek Suppers, Street Food & Snacks,
Feasting, Sides & Sharing, Bread, Desserts. "Bye bye boring
school dinners - this is the future of food for our kids" - Tom
Kerridge "A brilliantly inspiring book packed with seriously good
family focussed recipes. A total must have." - Thomasina Miers
If you are a male approaching adulthood, you might be wondering:
Are you a boy or a man?
You might even hear the question coming from parents, mentors,
your boss or girlfriend. Asking the question is not a bad thing; it
could push you to envision your potential and become a better
person.
Perhaps you are a teacher, parent or counselor struggling to
help someone determine what stage they are at in life. They need
help and guidance, but there just aren't many resources out there
that spell out the difference.
In this book, you'll consider 75 key words that illustrate the
gap. Delve into issues such as trust, truth and pride. You'll
examine what it means to be an adult in ways you never did
before.
It's also important to understand the myths that revolve around
manhood. You don't have to be violent, a playboy or bossy to leave
boyhood behind. Rather, you need the courage to throw away
stereotypes.
Find out the key differences between being a child and an
adult, and determine whether or not you or someone you know is
ready to make the leap in "The Difference Between a Boy and a
Man."

Earth Day celebrates our beautiful planet and calls us to act on
its behalf. Some people spend the day planting flowers or trees.
Others organize neighbourhood clean-ups, go on nature walks or make
recycled crafts. Readers will discover how a shared holiday can
have multiple traditions and be celebrated in all sorts of ways.
Frustrated by his poor financial situation and hoping to impress a smart girl, seventh grader Trino falls in with a bad crowd led by an older teen with a vicious streak.
This volume weaves together a variety of perspectives aimed at
confronting a spectrum of ethico-political global challenges
arising in the Anthropocene which affect the future of life on
planet earth. In this book, the authors offer a multi-faceted
approach to address the consequences of its imaginary and
projective directions. The chapters span the disciplines of
political economy, cybernetics, environmentalism, bio-science,
psychoanalysis, bioacoustics, documentary film, installation art,
geoperformativity, and glitch aesthetics. The first section
attempts to flesh out new aspects of current debates. Questions
over the Capitaloscene are explored via conflations of class and
climate, revisiting the eco-Marxist analysis of capitalism, and the
financial system that thrives on debt. The second section explores
the imaginary narratives that raise questions regarding non-human
involvement. The third section addresses 'geoartisty,' the counter
artistic responses to the speculariztion of climate disasters,
questioning eco-documentaries, and what a post-anthropocentric art
might look like. The last section addresses the pedagogical
response to the Anthropocene.
Many disasters are approached by researchers, managers and
policymakers as if they have a clear beginning, middle and end. But
often the experience of being in a disaster is not like this. This
book offers non-linear, non-prescriptive ways of thinking about
disasters and allows the people affected by disaster the chance to
speak.
