When Rebecca Rowena Randall goes to live with her spinster aunts in Riverboro, Rebecca's aunts find her to be more of a handful than they bargained for. But even more surprising than the transition of Rebecca into a well-mannered young lady are the effects that Rebecca has on her aunts' humdrum lives. Rebecca, with her wide dark eyes and spirit that no walls can contain, will change their lives -- and the lives of everyone she meets -- forever.
Pollyanna's eternal optimism has made her one of the most beloved characters in American literature. First published in 1913, her story spawned the formation of "Glad" clubs all over the country, devoted to playing Pollyanna's famous game. Pollyanna has since sold over one million copies, been translated into several languages, and has become both a Broadway play and a Disney motion picture.

Shimmering poetry and stunning cut-paper art portray epic concepts
– the evolving biography of the universe and the symbiotic
relationship between science and story. Birds sing. Bees dance.
Wolves howl. But we are the ones who tell stories. Since the
beginning, humans have created stories about the universe. From
early mythology to modern-day science, we have always been curious
to know more, yet 95 percent of the world “out there” remains a
mystery. What will we believe tomorrow? Marion Dane Bauer’s
glowing poetry combines with Hari & Deepti’s luminously
intricate cut-paper illustrations, to celebrate our long and
ever-changing journey to understand the universe. In a
comprehensive afterword, the author charts formative contributions
to the study of the universe by Western and non-Western
civilizations over the centuries.
