Mom wanted me to read and dream a world more colorful than the one portrayed in the books assigned by P.S. It was the late 1960s and change was in the air. My mother was intent on showing me an alternate, inclusive literary world. I also remember “Color Me Brown,” a coloring book that combined history lessons, art and, race pride. The pages were filled with people who looked like they could be members of my family. I remember being excited to read books by Ezra Jack Keats, including The Snowy Day, Peter’s Chair, and Whistle for Willie. When I was little, my mom searched low and high to find books with main characters who were brown like me. I wanted to do my small part to create a world of reading for them that was different from mine. My yearning to write children’s books only grew after my twins were born. It’s a testament to the power and love of children’s books that so many people want to write them.

Scoring the Boss by Kristin Lee6/11/2023 I think it would be such an interesting sentimental return." I have what I think is a very cool story it's just a matter of finding out if it's possible. And to call Warner Brothers to see if it's something that they would allow.But I would, Oh my God, I would love to get those actors together again.

The history of totalitarianism6/11/2023 An even darker description of living under totalitarianism comes from George Orwell’s classic dystopian novel 1984, when the main character Winston Smith is told by Thought Police interrogator O’Brien, “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – for ever.

It picks up shortly after the conclusion of Winter, the final book in Meyer’s Lunar Chronicles series. Wires and Nerve is a new graphic novel series. Unfortunately Iko is also saddled with an unwanted sidekick in the form of Kinney, a royal guard who has little use for Iko and androids in general.Īs they come closer to the rogue wolf’s pack Iko will unearth a conspiracy that threatens everyone she cares about–a threat so big she might even welcome Kinney’s help this once in Wires and Nerve, Volume 1 (2017) by Marissa Meyer, illustrated by Douglas Holgate.

To preserve the unstable alliance between Earth and Luna, Iko decides to hunt down rogue wolf-hybrids who have been attacking both planets. |
