Books make good pets and don't need going to the vet. You don't
have to keep them on a lead or throw them a stick. They'll wag
their words whenever you flick their dog-eared pages. Even howl an
ancient tale for the inward-listening ear. Did you know that a book
can take you anywhere? You only need to turn the pages of a story,
and in a moment, you and your book could be crossing the waves in a
pirate ship... or diving with mermaids... or even snoozing with a
dragon. Books really DO make good pets! Why don't you peep inside
this one, and take your mind on an adventure? This delightful
original picture book poem is the perfect gift for anyone who
delights in the magic of a good book. Agard's evocative, lyrical
style is perfectly complemented with illustrations by Momoko Abe,
whose colourful visuals add character, transporting the reader into
an enchanting world of imagination.
A poetic tribute to the victims of the racially motivated church
bombing that served as a seminal event in the struggle for civil
rights. In 1963, the eyes of the world were on Birmingham, Alabama,
a flashpoint for the civil rights movement. Birmingham was one of
the most segregated cities in the United States. Civil rights
demonstrators were met with police dogs and water cannons. On
Sunday, September 15, 1963, members of the Ku Klux Klan planted
sticks of dynamite at the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, which
served as a meeting place for civil rights organizers. The
explosion killed four little girls. Their murders shocked the
nation and turned the tide in the struggle for equality. A Jane
Addams Children's Honor Book, here is a book that captures the
heartbreak of that day, as seen through the eyes of a fictional
witness. Archival photographs with poignant text written in free
verse offer a powerful tribute to the young victims.
