Eighteen-year-old Muriel Jorgensen lives on one side of Crabapple
Creek. Her family's closest friends, the Normans, live on the
other. For as long as Muriel can remember, the families lives have
been intertwined, connected by the crossing stones that span the
water. But now that Frank Norman - who Muriel is just beginning to
think might be more than a friend - has enlisted to fight in World
War I and her brother, Ollie, has lied about his age to join him,
the future is uncertain. As Muriel tends to things at home with the
help of Frank's sister, Emma, she becomes more and more fascinated
by the women's suffrage movement, but she is surrounded by people
who advise her to keep her opinions to herself. How can she find a
way to care for those she loves while still remaining true to who
she is?
Engrossing tales from the fifth grade
"Every child is like "
"A little world with ever-changing weather, "
"Nights and mornings. And somehow, here we are, "
"Spinning through the universe together."
""
Unforgettable students in this fifth-grade classroom reveal their
private feelings about birth and death, a missing bicycle and a
first kiss, as well as their thoughts about recess, report cards,
fitting in, and family.
Using a rich array of traditional poetic forms, such as sonnets,
sestinas, and acrostics, Helen Frost interweaves the stories of the
kids in Room 214 and their teacher. A final section giving detailed
analyses of the twenty-two forms will be of special interest.

1931. From the Foreword: Clog and character dancing has its place
in education as a wholesome means of expression. The clog dance is
as old, if not older, than the folk dance; its development has been
unrecorded, but reference to it is made in all complete historic
studies of dancing. Through pantomime, tapping, and lilting step,
the clog dance develops a response to music that is joyous and
satisfying. It appeals to all ages, and since relaxation and
perfected balance are the basis of its practice, physical
well-being is assured. The book includes musical scores of clogging
songs and photographs that are illustrative of the dance and time.

Based on the 8-pointed LeMoyne star, these quilt projects use the
tried-and-true strip-piecing method that Blanche originally
developed in 1979. Blanche and her daughter Helen have been
exploring this historical star ever since, playing with different
configurations and sizes, to captivate generations of quilters to
come. The ten quilt projects include Lone Star, Touching Stars,
Rolling Star, Broken Star, Star of Bethlehem, Double Star, and
Blazing Star. A gallery of 25 additional quilts is included,
together with lots of author tips for accurate results.
With step-by-step instructions, this book teaches how to create
dazzling and dramatic quilts based on traditional sunshine and
shadow designs using quick and simple strip-piecing, 9-patch, and
square block techniques.
One of nature's most perfect relationships
Every spring the monarch butterfly migrates thousands of miles
in search of the ideal milkweed plant. When she finds it, she lays
her eggs on the plant, so when each egg hatches, the baby
caterpillar can feed on the milkweed leaves. The milkweed plant
then provides the perfect protection as the caterpillar turns into
one of nature's wonders, a chrysalis, before transforming into an
even greater wonder: a monarch butterfly. And once the newborn
butterfly soars away, the milkweed seeds fly away on the wind and
start this cycle over again.
The exacting prose and jewel-toned illustrations echo the
harmony of monarch and milkweed in this carefully researched book,
explaining one of nature's most spectacular displays in a
refreshingly simple manner.

Two sisters, Jeannie and Sarah, tell their separate yet tightly
interwoven stories in alternating narrative poems. Each sister -
Jeannie, who leaves Scotland during the Highland Clearances with
her father, mother, and the younger children, and Sarah, who hides
so she can stay behind with her grandmother - carries a length of
the other's hair braided with her own. The braid binds them
together when they are worlds apart and reminds them of who they
used to be before they were evicted from the Western Isles, where
their family had lived for many generations.
The award-winning poet Helen Frost eloquently twists strand over
strand of language, braiding the words at the edges of the poems to
bring new poetic forms to life while intertwining the destinies of
two young girls and the people who cross their paths in this
unforgettable novel. An author's note describes the inventive
poetic form in detail. "The Braid" is a 2007 Bank Street - Best
Children's Book of the Year.
