spice. Mercredi's child plays zydeco. Jeudi's child loves Satchmo
mo'. Vendredi's child makes shrimp boulette. Samedi's child's from
Lafayette. But those born on dimanche, you know, rest and relax and
fais do-do " Mother Goose takes a trip down South in this new and
hilarious collection of nursery rhymes. A cast of classical
characters is reimagined on a streetcar, in the French Quarter, and
on the bayous. Come celebrate the fun of the Crescent City with
such rhymes as "Peter, Peter Gumbo Mixer," "Old King Rex," and
"Sing, Song of Parades." Witty and charming, these jazzy rhymes
will delight every Jacques and Gilles. Bright illustrations
lovingly depict the sights and sounds of the city. Mardi Gras,
music, and food are just some of the topics included with a light
touch and a sense of humor. This collection will become a favorite
read-aloud for locals and visitors alike.
Every person has a story, and all of us can pinpoint certain
moments in our lives that have defined who we are today. Even so,
not everyone shares the story they have to tell. Walter Ryan Adams,
a high school baseball coach, tells his players a story every year.
It involves how he answered some of life's most difficult questions
and found his purpose from a speech, a letter, and a baseball. In
the course of his story, he explores how to respond to criticism
and being picked on; how leaving your comfort zone can make a
difference in your life; how to overcome challenges that seem
insurmountable, such as asthma; and how good friends can make huge
differences in your life. By recalling the details of his past,
Coach Adams seeks to create a moment that his students will
remember. It is these moments, after all, that define us. He
doesn't tell this story for himself. He tells it so that others can
learn what it means To Be the King of Diamonds.

"Ryan Adams writes with equal parts precision and recklessness;
the blood he draws from the text is easily as unnerving as its
unapologetic tenderness. He is proof that poetry will find its
writer."--Mary-Louise Parker, actress Praise for Infinity Blues:
"Ryan Adams, one of America's most consistently interesting
singer/songwriters, has written a passionate, arresting, and
entertaining book of verse. Fans are going to love it, and
newcomers will be pleased and startled by his intensity and
originality."--Stephen King "After reading Infinity Blues, I give
Ryan Adams the best compliment I ever got--and the only reason for
reading anyone's poetry. Ryan, I really like your mind."--Eileen
Myles, author of Cool for You "Infinity Blues is Ryan Adams at his
personal, unforgettable best."--Cameron Crowe, filmmaker Ryan Adams
may be acclaimed primarily for albums such as Cardinology,
Heartbreaker, Gold (which includes the popular hit songs "When the
Stars Go Blue" and "New York, New York"), and Easy Tiger, but the
world-renowned singer/songwriter has always been a poet and fiction
writer at heart. With the release of Hello Sunshine, Ryan continues
to break literary ground beyond what he established with his wildly
popular first book, Infinity Blues. Ryan's new work provides
perhaps an even deeper insight into the man than is revealed
through the songs that have resonated with his hundreds of
thousands of fans.Ryan Adams is known for his prolific nature,
which in the last ten years has resulted in various international
hit albums. Ryan has also produced Willie Nelson's album Songbird
and contributed to records by Toots and the Maytals, Beth Orton,
the Wallflowers, Counting Crows, and Cowboy Junkies; additionally,
he has appeared on CMT's Crossroads with Elton John.
