A book, too, can be a star: the story of Madeleine L'Engle and the making of a wrinkle in time
Par Charlotte Jones Voiklis. 2022
"When Madeleine L'Engle was very small, she marveled at the stars. They guided her throughout her life, making her feel…
part of a big and exciting world, even when she felt alone. They made her want to ask big questions--Why are we here? What is my place in the universe?--and let her imagination take flight. Books, too, were like stars-asking questions and proposing answers. Books kept Madeleine company, and soon, she began to write and share her own. But would other people see the wonder she found in the world?" -- Provided by publisherLike a diamond in the sky: Jane Taylor's beloved poem of wonder and the stars

Onassis Discover a delightful new story about Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, one of the most famous women in the world.

Jackie never wrote a memoir but revealed herself in the nearly 100 books she brought into print. Jackie and the Books She Loved is a dazzling book about the real woman behind this American icon of style and grace brought to life by the whimsical and tasteful artwork of Bats Langley.Spice up your summer with this handy DIY guide packed with easy projects, beginners' tutorials, camp crafts, and more!Break has…
