"The Impact of 9-11: The New Legal Landscape" is the third
volume of the six-volume series "The Day that Changed Everything?"
edited by Matthew J. Morgan. The series brings together from a
broad spectrum of disciplines the leading thinkers of our time to

Senator Bob Graham, the volume's contributors include Alan
Dershowitz, Aziz Huq, William Weaver, and other leading
scholars.
A gentle tale for pre-schoolers, introducing the concept of sharing
in the playground from multi-award-winning author Michael Rosen and
treasured illustrator Bob Graham. The new, reissue edition of a
much-loved tale from two picture book icons. From former
Children’s Laureate Michael Rosen comes a simple and poignant
tale of the power of sharing, with superb artwork by award-winning
illustrator Bob Graham. George says the cardboard house is his and
no one else can play in it. It isn't for girls, small people,
twins, people with glasses, or people who like tunnels. But Lindy,
Marly, Freddie, Charlene, Marlene, Luther, Sophie and Rasheda have
other ideas! One by one each child is refused access until the
tables are turned and George finds out how it feels to be on the
receiving end. A topical and perceptive book that shows that it is
much more fun to share.
In Teaching America, more than 20 leading thinkers sound the alarm
over a crisis in citizenship and lay out a powerful agenda for
reform. The book s unprecedented roster of authors includes Justice
Sandra Day O Connor, Senator Jon Kyl, Senator Bob Graham, Secretary
Rod Paige, Alan Dershowitz, Juan Williams, Glenn Reynolds, Michael
Kazin, Frederick Hess, Andrew Rotherham, Mike Feinberg, Seth
Andrew, Mark Bauerlein and more. Their message: To remain America,
our country has to give its kids a civic identity, an understanding
of our constitutional system, and some appreciation of the amazing
achievements of American self-government. But we are failing. Young
Americans know little about the Bill of Rights, the democratic
process, or the civil rights movement. Three of every four high
school seniors aren t proficient in civics, nine of ten can t cut
it in U.S. history, and the problem is only aggravated by
universities' disregard for civic education. Such civic illiteracy
weakens our common culture, disenfranchises would-be voters, and
helps poison our politics."

No friendship is imaginary. When Ellie is very little, she finds a
newborn dragon fresh from the egg on a supermarket shelf, and calls
him Scratch. He is quite the sweetest thing she has ever seen! From
that day on, Ellie and Scratch do everything together. Ellie's mum
and her teacher can't see her fiery friend, but all her friends can
- and, over the years, Ellie's dragon grows to be big,
house-trained, and very affectionate. And Ellie is growing, too...
A moving story about the wonders of imagination and the nature of
growing up from one of Australia's most revered bookmakers.
"A little kindness goes a long way" is the subtle moral depicted in
this gentle tale by award-winning Australian author-illustrator Bob
Graham. A brand-new edition of the classic story from Bob Graham.
All the children are afraid of mean Mr Wintergarten. His garden is
grey and sunless and it is guarded, they say, by a dog like a wolf
and a saltwater crocodile. By contrast, the garden of his sunny new
neighbours, the Summers, is a playground of happiness and flowers.
One day, Rose's ball goes over the fence into Mr Wintergarten's
garden and, prompted by her mother, Rose visits her frosty
next-door neighbour, bearing hot fairy cakes and flowers. What will
Mr Wintergarten say?
"This is first-rate child's fare. . . . Sure to make both listeners
and readers feel warm and happy when they put it down." - BOOKLIST
(starred review)
There are lots of dogs of all shapes and sizes at the animal
shelter. But Kate and her mom and dad know they want Dave the
moment they see him. He's small and cute and a perfect fit for the
end of Kate's bed. But then they see Rosy, who is old and gray and
broad as a table. How can they take home just one dog when there
are so many wonderful animals who need a home? Bob Graham creates
an original, endearing family in a touching story that will appeal
to animal lovers everywhere.
Serendipity and positive thinking come into play as a family
searches for a missing puzzle piece in Bob Graham's enchanting
story with a sweet surprise ending. "Oh, let's do it!" say Kitty
and Katy and Mum when a thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle mysteriously
arrives in the post. "I have time on my hands," agrees Dad.
Starting in winter with the edges, by autumn they're almost done,
only to discover that one piece is missing. Mum is sure that it
must have accidentally gone out with the rubbish, so the Kellys
pile into the car to comb through the local tip ("shouldn't take
long"). There they uncover forgotten letters, train tickets,
discarded newspapers, and old photos yellow with age, but finding
the missing piece is starting to seem like wishful thinking. "Let's
wish, then," says Katy. As in all of Bob Graham's work, the beauty
here is in the details, with visual perspectives that offer a
bird's-eye view or take us underfoot, wordless sequences letting us
in on a secret. Is it sheer luck - or perhaps the power of hope -
that creates an ending to the story?
Two young tooth fairies make their first lost-tooth collection in
Bob Graham's warm, whimsical tale.
A Junior Library Guild Selection. April Underhill, seven-year-old
tooth fairy, gets a call on her cell phone. This is it Her first
tooth collection. April and her little sister, Esme, must convince
Mom and Dad to let them take on the task all by themselves. But
soon, two tiny fairies fly off into the night, over a highway of
thundering eighteen-wheelers, eager to prove how grown up they can
be. As always, the charm is in the visual details: the pony-tailed,
winged dad in baggy jeans; the snug fairy house with teeth dangling
from the rafters like wind chimes. Once again, Bob Graham has
crafted a tale of heartwarming adventure, magical yet very real.
A timely, inspiring and uplifting story about hope and the power of
creative expression, from one of the world's most treasured
bookmakers. After a cold, dark winter, doors opened. Children
spilled out like sweets from a box. Amanda was last one out of the
tower block. She brought some chalk with her. On every inch of the
concrete outside, the children drew pictures of everything they
could think of, from flowers and snails, to spaceships and queens.
Before long, a beautiful and exotic garden spread out across the
concrete. From master storyteller Bob Graham comes a charming, and
gently post-pandemic story about finding optimism after a dark
spell, and the nurturing power of community friendships in an urban
setting. The Concrete Garden will resonate with anyone who has been
apart from their loved ones, and will encourage us all to find the
brightness and colour within ourselves.
The poesy ring flew high, caught by the wind. And with the breeze in its tail, the horse turned and galloped. The ring tumbled end over end, and settled deep in a meadow over the sea...
From the multi-award winning Bob Graham comes a romantic, hopeful and exquisitely illustrated story, perfect for giving as a gift to the one you love.
It's 1830 in County Kerry, Ireland, and a gold ring is thrown into the wind by a young woman on a black horse... And as the seasons pass, and then the years, the little treasure finds itself on the most astonishing journey, finally settling at the bottom of a deep sea. Will the ring, inscribed with “love never dies”, ever fulfil its destiny, and find the finger of a woman truly loved?

A companion title to Bob Graham's celebrated picture book Max,
whose superhero family has just got bigger! Max has a new baby
sister - Maxine! Max is there for her first words, her first steps
and ... her first flight! But as Maxine grows up and starts school,
she doesn't feel like she quite fits in. In fact, she's not sure if
she feels comfortable in her superhero guise at all. Can Maxine
convince her family that not all superheroes wear capes? With a
strong, incredibly smart girl at its centre, this is a book to
inspire any child to dream big and be exactly who, and how, they
want to be.
In a spare urban fable, Bob Graham brings us one small boy, one
loving family, and one miraculous story of hope and healing. In the
busy city, no one sees the bird lying on the pavement with a broken
wing. No one, except a young boy named Will. With the help of his
parents, Will takes the bird home to care for it. With rest, time,
and a little hope, perhaps the bird will fly again. A paperback
edition of a magical story, endorsed by Amnesty International UK.
Thugs rule the streets and you know it, even if you know you should
be able to walk the streets at night. But you know you are more
likely than ever to find yourself in a life-and-death situation.
And you might be skilled enough or lucky enough to win. But if you
think calling 911 to report your self-defense will be the end of
it, you need this book. There's every chance you will find yourself
charged with murder, simply because now there's a body lying there,
and it isn't yours. These opening and closing arguments, made by a
District Attorney and a Public Defender in a first-degree murder
case, show how one very minor mistake on the part of law
enforcement can turn a clear cut case of self-defense into a
possible murder that is so convincing, six judges and every
attorney your public defender talks to will expect the court to
find you guilty, based on your own statement. This is a true story
that can prepare you for the aftermath of the life and death battle
that in one way or another may, very likely, happen to you. Read
this book and be prepared.
