Par Megan Madison. 2023
An audiobook edition of the board book about grief, offering adults the opportunity to begin important conversations with young children…
in an informed, safe, and supported way. Developed by experts in the fields of early childhood and activism against injustice, this topic-driven book offers clear, concrete language to introduce the concept of grief. This book aims to normalize the topic of death by discussing what it means and how it feels to experience loss. It centers around several questions that arise about grief and honest, simple ways to answer them. While young children are avid observers and questioners of their world, adults often shut down or postpone conversations on complicated topics because it's hard to know where to begin. Research shows that talking about tough issues from the age of two not only helps children understand what they see, but also increases self-awareness, self-esteem, and allows them to recognize and confront things that are unfair, like discrimination and prejudice. These books offer a supportive approach that considers both the child and the adult. There is simple and interactive text, and the backmatter offers additional resources and ideas for extending this discussionPas de chevaux dans la maison!: La vie audacieuse de l’artiste Rosa Bonheur

Par David Roberts. 2019
"A century ago, women in the United States and the United Kingdom won the right to vote. The long road…
to victory required courage, intelligence, and the tireless determination of many fascinating women and men, some of whose contributions to this profound societal change have received relatively little attention. Here, in a lavishly illustrated book for young people, best-selling author-illustrator David Roberts celebrates dozens of key suffrage figures from the U. K. and U. S. in beautiful portraits and thrilling scenes that bring them--and their courageous efforts--to vivid life." -- Dust jacketThe tower of life: how Yaffa Eliach rebuilt her town in stories and photographs
Par Chana Stiefel. 2022

Poland, filled with family life and rich traditions. Yaffa's grandmother, who receives a gift of a camera from America, becomes the village photographer, and takes photos of all the family events: weddings, bar mitzvahs, and family gatherings. And on the Jewish New Year, the villagers send photos to their relatives overseas to wish them a "Gut Yontif"! But one dark day, the town is invaded. And quickly the once happy home to 5,000 Jewish people is uprooted. Yaffa survives the war and becomes a Professor of History and America's foremost Holocaust expert. And when President Jimmy Carter invites her to create an exhibit for the new National Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, she travels around the world hunting down her grandmother's photos taken of people who fled from her beloved town, Eishyshok, along with their stories and memories. This breathtaking revival of the town's collective spirit, which is a permanent exhibit at The National Holocaust Museum in Washington DC, will inspire all who read it." -- Provided by publisherI color myself different
