Par Deborah Hopkinson. 2021
"The deadly outbreak of plague known as the Great Mortality, which struck Europe in the mid 1300s and raged for…
four centuries, wiped out more than 25 million people in the course of just two years. With its vicious onslaught, life changed for millions of people almost instantaneously. Deadly pandemics have always been a part of life, from the Great Mortality of the Middle Ages, to the Spanish Influenza outbreak of 1918, to the eruption of COVID-19 in our own century. Many of these diseases might have seemed like things to read about in history books -- until the unthinkable happened, and our own lives were turned upside down by the emergence of the novel coronavirus. As we learn more about COVID-19, we may be curious about pandemics of the past. Knowing how humans fought diseases long ago may help us face those of today. In this fast-paced, wide-ranging story filled with facts, pictures, and diagrams about diseases -- from plague to smallpox to polio to flu -- critically acclaimed Sibert Honor author Deborah Hopkinson brings voices from the past to life in this exploration of the deadliest diseases of then and now." -- Provided by publisherAction!: how movies began

Par Renée G Hartman. 2021
"Meet Renee and Herta, two sisters who faced the unimaginable together. This is their true story. As Jews living in…
1940s Czechoslovakia, Renee, Herta, and their parents were in immediate danger when the Holocaust came to their door. As the only hearing person in her family, Renee had to alert her parents and sister whenever the sound of Nazi boots approached their home so they could hide. But soon their parents were tragically taken away, and the two sisters went on the run, desperate to find a safe place to hide. Eventually they, too, would be captured and taken to the concentration camp Bergen-Belsen. Communicating in sign language and relying on each other for strength in the midst of illness, death, and starvation, Renee and Herta would have to fight to survive the darkest of times. This gripping memoir, told in a vivid oral history format, is a testament to the power of sisterhood and love, and now more than ever a reminder of how important it is to honor the past, and keep telling our own stories." -- Provided by publisherBuilding an orchestra of hope: how Favio Chávez taught children to make music from trash

Par Pierre Roy. 2002
Samuel, à 11 ans, subit encore les conséquences de la crise économique de 1929. Il doit quitter l'école pour aider…
son père à la ferme. L'argent vient à manquer et, à la fin de l'année, son père doit céder sa terre au notaire Racette pour rembourser ses dettes. La famille déménage en ville. Le père de Samuel travaille à l'usine et bientôt le jeune garçon doit l'y rejoindre et abandonner ses études, encore une fois. Très doué à l'école, Samuel obtient cependant une bourse qui lui permet d'étudier au collège. Il forme le projet de devenir notaire et d'amasser assez d'argent pour racheter la terre de son père, qui, entre temps, a attrapé la tuberculose dans l'air vicié de l'usine. Le travail amené par la Deuxième Guerre mondiale permet aussi au reste de la famille de gagner l'argent nécessaire à la réalisation de ce rêve. Samuel réussit à racheter la terre paternelle, reprend l'étude du notaire Racette qui avait extorqué sa famille et voit avec bonheur son père reprendre du mieux au contact l'air pur de la campagne. -- Roman à la fois dur et plein d'espoir, parsemé de touches d'humour, qui dépeint avec beaucoup de justesse et de simplicité la vie d'un garçon qui a vécu la misère et qui, par sa détermination, réalise ses rêves.

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 publisherLes vieux livres sont dangereux (Noire)

Par Louise Champagne. 2003
Après Appelle-moi Zaza!, son premier roman qui lui a valu d’être finaliste pour le prix Cécile Gagnon, Louise Champagne revient…
en force avec une histoire qui aborde les tourments de la préadolescence, cet âge où tout nous irrite et où la vie nous semble pénible et compliquée. C’est avec beaucoup de justesse que l’auteure parvient à nous faire pénétrer dans l’univers des sentiments troubles propres à cet âge. Elle souligne avec habileté les contradictions qui surgissent, tel le besoin d’encadrement mais celui aussi de distanciation. C’est d’ailleurs ce dernier qui va permettre à la jeune Claudie d’exprimer sa singularité. Nul doute que les jeunes lecteurs se reconnaîtront dans plusieurs situations décrites dans ce livre.La petite histoire de Pierre Tisseyre: roman (Papillon #89. Histoire)
