Is this jug really magical? In Mexican American comedian Jesus
Trejo's debut picture book, little Jesus makes a big, funny mistake
as he works alongside his landscaper papa, but father and son find
a heartwarming solution. Little Jesus is excited to spend a
Saturday with his landscaper Papa at the "family business." He
loves Papa's cool truck and all the tools he gets to use. Papa even
puts him in charge of the magical water jug, which is also a clock!
When it's empty, Papa explains, the workday will be done. It's a
big job, and Jesus wants to do it right. But he just can't help
giving water to an array of thirsty animals-a dog in a sweater,
some very old cats, and a flock of peacocks. Before he knows it,
the magical water jug is empty -but the workday's not over yet!
Will Jesus be fired?! Or is the jug not really magical after all?
This mischievous tale of a very young comedian's life lesson will
warm hearts and have class clowns, practical jokers, and all
high-spirited kids nodding in sympathy.

This edited collection brings together two strands of current
discussions in gender research through the concept of creativity.
First, it addresses creativity in the context of the family, by
exploring changing and newly emergent family forms and ways of
creating and maintaining intimate relationships. Creativity here is
understood not as just "newness or originality," but as that which,
in the words of Eisler and Montouri (2007), "supports, nurtures,
and actualizes life by increasing the number of choices open to
individuals and communities." One aim of this book, therefore, is
to investigate the social, collaborative, and creative interactions
in contemporary family and kin formations in Europe. Second, the
volume examines how new media and technologies are entering and
shaping everyday family lives. Technological transformations and
adaptions have not only enabled the creation of new forms of
families and ways of family living, but also challenged the
established constellations of gender and family arrangements. The
present volume addresses these issues from multiple perspectives
and in different contexts, and explores the involvement of
different actors. By problematizing the creativity of becoming and
"doing" family and kinship, the authors acknowledge the increasing
fluidity of gender identities, the evolving diversity of
relationships, and the permeation of technology into daily life.
