of her father, whose favourite bird was the kingfisher, Anna Wilson
takes readers on a lyrical journey though a year in the life of a
kingfisher family. Stunning illustrations by Sarah Massini bring

You are part of this earth. You grow like the seed. You shine like
the stars. Reconnect with the natural world with illustrations from
British Book Award and Waterstones Children’s Book Prize-winning
Harry Woodgate. We are all connected to the natural world, and it
is connected to us. And just as the stars shine brightly in the
night sky, so can you. Told from the point of view of the natural
world, this exquisite and thought-provoking story from children's
author Anna Wilson invites us to connect with the world around us
and achieve our potential.
From the very beginning it would seem that God had a plan for
America. From its discovery by Europeans to its settlement, from
the Revolution to Manifest Destiny, from the stirrings of civil
unrest to civil war, America was on a path. In our pluralistic
world, when textbooks are being rewritten in ways that obscure the
Judeo-Christian beginnings of our country, the books in the
Discovering God's Plan for America series help ground young readers
in a distinctly evangelical way of understanding early American
history.
As young readers look at their nation's development from God's
point of view, they will begin to have a clearer idea of how much
we owe to a very few--and how much is still at stake. These
engaging books bring history alive in a way that will inspire young
people to do their important part in shaping this nation into the
future.
A new look at how reading was practised and represented in England
from the seventh century to the beginnings of the print era,
finding many kinships between reading cultures across the medieval
longue duree. Even as it transforms human cultures, routines,
attention spans, and the wiring of our brains, the media revolution
of the last few decades also urges a reconsideration of the long
history of reading. The essays in this volume take a new look at
how reading was practised and represented in England from the
seventh century to the beginnings of the print era, using texts
from Aldhelm to Malory and Wynkyn de Worde, arguing that whether
unpicking intricate Latin, contemplating image-texts, or
participating in semiotically-rich public rituals, reading
cultivated and energized the subject's values, perceptions, and
attitudes to the world. Part I, "Practices of Reading", asks how
writers, scribes and artists engaged readerly attention through
textual layout, poetic form, hermeneutic difficulty, or images,
while Part II, "Politics of Reading", explores how different
textual communities manipulated the anxieties and opportunities for
education, moral improvement or entertainment associated with
reading; particular topics addressed include Bible translation and
exegesis, page layout, literary form and readerly practice,
fiction, hermeneutics, and performance. Although it understands
reading as culturally and technologically localized, the book finds
many kinships between reading cultures across the medieval longue
duree and the literatures and literacies that proliferate today.

Sally Magnusson Anna grew up in a house that was loving, even if
her mum was ‘a little eccentric’. They knew to keep things
clean, to stay quiet, and to look the other way when things started
to get ‘a bit much for your mum’. It’s only when her mother
reaches her 70s, and Anna has a family of her own, that the cracks
really start to appear. More manic. More irrational. More detached
from the world. And when her father, the man who has calmed and
cajoled her mother through her entire life becomes unwell, the
whole world turns upside down. This is a story of a life lived with
undiagnosed autism, about the person behind the disorder, those big
unspoken family truths, and what it means to care for our parents
in their final years.
