imaginations. Dana Meachen Rau describes a simple, joyful day
shared by siblings celebrating the senses beyond sight: the sounds,
smells, tastes and textures that make playing together so much fun.

How did a woman with the desire to help others became the founder
of the Girl Scouts of the United States of America? Born in 1860 in
Savannah, Georgia, Juliette Gordon Low grew up having the finest
clothes and education. She was expected to be a prim and proper
lady, but "Crazy Daisy"--as she was nicknamed by her friends and
family--preferred to climb trees, ride horses, and hike. She also
tried to find ways to help people in need. She carried that caring
spirit with her into adulthood and used it to develop the Girl
Scouts of the United States of America in 1912. Today, Juliette's
organization continues to empower young girls, improve their
self-esteem, and provide them with lifelong skills and a community
of sisterhood. Learn more about this strong-willed woman in this
addition to the #1 New York Times bestselling series!
From the palaces of Austria to the mirrored halls of Versailles,
Marie Antoinette led a charmed life. She was born into royalty in
1755 and married the future king of France at age 15. By 21 she
ascended to the throne and enjoyed a lavish lifestyle of masquerade
balls, sky-high wigs, and extravagant food. But her taste for
excess ruffled many feathers. The poor people of France blamed
Marie Antoinette for their poverty. Her spending helped incite the
French Revolution. And after much public outcry, in 1793 she quite
literally lost her head because of it. Whether she was blameless or
guilty is debatable, but Marie Antoinette remains woven into the
fabric of history and popular culture. Series Overview: A series of
illustrated biographies for young readers featuring significant
historical figures, including artists, scientists, and world
leaders.
Two-year-old Lhamo Thondup never imagined he would be anything
other than an ordinary child, but after undergoing a series of
tests, he was proclaimed the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet. By age 15,
he found himself the undisputed leader of six million people who
were facing the threat of a full-scale war from the Chinese. After
the defeat of the Tibetan national uprising in 1959, the Dalai Lama
had to flee Tibet and went into exile in India. For nearly 50
years, he has aimed to establish Tibet as a self-governing,
democratic state. In 1989, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for
his nonviolent efforts for the liberation of Tibet and his concern
for global environmental problems. As the spiritual leader of
Tibetan Buddhism, the Dalai Lama continues to spend his life
working to benefit humanity and preserving Tibetan culture.
