a covered wagon. Her daughter, Rose, thought those stories might
make a good book, and the two created the beloved Little House
series.
Sara Breedlove, the daughter of former slaves, wanted everything
to be different for her own daughter, A'Lelia. Together they built
a million-dollar beauty empire for women of color. Marie Curie
became the first person in history to win two Nobel prizes in

Nobel prize winner.
"Borrowed Names" is the story of these extraordinary mothers and
daughters.

With his unique combination of hilarious stories, zany pictures and riotous rhymes, Dr. Seuss has been delighting young children and helping them learn to read for over fifty years. Creator of the wonderfully anarchic Cat in the Hat, and ranking among the UK’s top ten favourite children’s authors, Seuss is firmly established as a global best-seller, with nearly half a million books sold worldwide.
This delightful book forms part of the third stage in HarperCollins’ major Dr. Seuss rebrand programme. With the relaunch of six more titles in January 2004, such all-time favourites as ‘The Lorax’, ‘The Foot Book’ and ‘Yertle the Turtle’ now boast bright new covers that incorporate much-needed guidance on reading levels: Blue Back Books are for parents to share with young children, Green Back Books are for budding readers to tackle on their own, and Yellow Back Books are for older, more fluent readers to enjoy.
