There's a kiss here for everyone in this warm and cozy Classic
Board Book edition of "The Biggest Kiss"
"Do worms kiss underground, with the soil all around?
Do fish kiss like this--splosh, splash, splish?"
""Everyone needs kisses, so what could be better than a book that's
full of them? With darling animals on every page and irresistible
text that begs to be read aloud, parents and grandparents will love
sharing this collection of affection with the youngest of readers.
The unwritten contract of the internet, that a user is what is
used, extends from the well-examined issue of data privacy and
consent to the very selves women are encouraged to create in order
to appear. Invited to self-construct as 'girls online', vloggers,
bloggers and influencers sign a devil's bargain: a platform on the
condition they commodify themselves, eternally youthful, cute and
responsibility-free, hiding offline domestic, professional and
emotional labour while paying for their online presence with
'accounts' of personal 'experience'. Can a Girl Online use these
platforms not only to escape meatspace oppressions, but as spaces
for survival, creativity and resistance? Told via the arresting
personal narrative of one woman negotiating the (cyber)space
between her identities as girl, mother, writer, and commodified
online persona, Girl Online is written in a plethora of the online
styles, from programming language to the blog/diary, from tweets to
lyric prose, taking in selfies, social media, celebrity and
Cyberfeminism.

The much-anticipated fiction follow-up to Vertigo, this collection
cements Joanna Walsh's reputation as one of the sharpest writers of
this century. Wearing her learning lightly, Walsh's stories make us
see the world afresh while showing us she has read the world. In
'Like a Fish Needs a ...' - perhaps the funniest, most freewheeling
story ever written about cycling (and Freud and and and ...) you
read shenanigans worthy of Flann O'Brien. Meanwhile, in 'Worlds
from the Word's End', Walsh conjures up a country in which words
themselves fall out of fashion - something that will never happen
wherever Walsh is read.
Have you ever sped past in such a hurry that everything you passed
was soft and blurry? And did you ever squeeze your eyes so tight
that you saw lots of dots of coloured light? In Did You Ever See?
Joanna Walsh vividly illustrates the world through the eyes of a
small child looking at things for the first time, inviting children
and adults to playfull explore the sense of sight. Pondering how
things can look tiny from above, enormous from below, backwards in
a mirror, wobbly through water, and blurry from a distance, Did You
Ever See? appeals immediately to the senses of young readers and
puts into words a variety of visual experiences. Children will be
inspired to take notice of both what and how they see the world
around them, gaining new perspectives as they do.

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books
about the hidden lives of ordinary things. During the breakdown of
an unhappy marriage, writer Joanna Walsh got a job as a hotel
reviewer, and began to gravitate towards places designed as
alternatives to home. Luxury, sex, power, anonymity,
privacy...hotels are where our desires go on holiday, but also
places where our desires are shaped by the hard realities of the
marketplace. Part memoir and part meditation, this book visits a
series of rooms, suites, hallways, and lobbies-the spaces and
things that make up these modern sites of gathering and alienation,
hotels. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay
series in The Atlantic.

Drive beyond the dusty provincial towns and the Chilean landscape
is carpeted with 1?4 million acres of grapes that ripen perfectly
in bright sunlight, warm days, and cool evenings. Labor, land, and
grape prices are low, so Chilean wineries can make high quality
wines at a fraction of the cost of those in California, Australia
or Europe. Walker Elliott Rowe weaves a narrative of the Chilean
people and culture, introducing the reader to many characters both
inside and outside the wine business. The towering Andes Mountains
are not the only item looming over the Chilean horizon-this
progressive country, where the sentiment for socialism is strong,
is still dealing with the ghosts of the former military dictator.
Through his narrative, Rowe illustrates the irony of Chile's strong
system of capitalism that leaves most people working long hours at
low wages.
This illustrated collection consists of new, adapted and old poems
for babies. Ernest Henry is the author of "Poems to Shout Out Loud
and Some to Whisper", "Phil and Lill". Joanna Walsh is the
illustrator of "My Day As a Bridesmaid".
