House-flipping sensation and YouTube star Maggie Nichols can’t wait to dig into her next challenge. While we love reading this one year-round, December is the perfect month to bust it out with your children. Though Extra Yarn does have some funny images, it’s got a much more serious tone than their other books… Yet my girls would tell you this is their favorite Barnett/Klassen book (yes, even more than the “ Hat” series or the “ shape” series). Do you know Extra Yarn by Mac Barnett, illustrated by Jon Klassen? The duo is practically unbeatable when it comes to authoring and illustrating incredible books for children, but most of their books tend to make children laugh.
It is theory that sings, poetry that marshals experience in the service of a larger critique of the coloniality of the present and the tyranny of sexual and racial norms. His poems upset genre and play with form, scavenging for a decolonial kind of heaven where “everyone is at least a little gay.” Presented here with several additional poems, this prize-winning collection pursues fresh directions for queer and decolonial theory as it opens uncharted paths for Indigenous poetry in North America. Part manifesto, part memoir, This Wound Is a World is an invitation to “cut a hole in the sky / to world inside.” Belcourt issues a call to turn to love and sex to understand how Indigenous peoples shoulder their sadness and pain without giving up on the future. This book is what we’ve been waiting for.” “By way of an expansive poetic grace, Belcourt merges a soft beauty with the hardness of colonization to shape a love song that dances Indigenous bodies back into being. Billy-Ray Belcourt’s debut poetry collection, This Wound Is a World, is “a prayer against breaking,” writes trans Anishinaabe and Métis poet Gwen Benaway. Catherine is determined to clear her husband’s name, but at the same time, she’s afraid for her own safety, since there’s a very good chance the real murderer is still in the house. There’s been a murder, and Henry has fallen under suspicion. When she first visited Northanger Abbey, she only imagined dreadful events had occurred there. Yet she still hasn’t quite given up her girlhood fascination with all things Gothic. Newly married to her beloved Henry, Catherine’s eyes are now open to the grownup pleasures of wedded life. The official publication date is June 23rd (paperback and Kindle), but you can get your Kindle copy a day early if you pre-order it now! Here’s the official book blurb: Anyway, you’ll have to read for yourself to see who the the real culprit (and the victim) turn out to be! Not my fault, really there were just so many good suspects to choose from! Think Gosford Park: lots of people in the house and everybody has a motive. You see, unlike most writers of the genre, I didn’t decide “who done it” until I was halfway through the book. So I went for it, taking an unconventional approach. I’d never written a murder mystery before, but that seemed the only choice for a sequel to Northanger Abbey. TA DA! Here it is: Murder at Northanger Abbey. Isn’t the cover luscious? And what fun I had writing this book! After all, who can explain Bob Allens' mysterious accident on his way to bring Christy to Cutter Gap? Or the lightning strike that sent a tree through the school window? Will fear and superstition triumph? Will Christy be driven out of Cutter Gap forever? Or will Christy overcome and win the hearts of the mountain people? Silent Superstitions: Strange things are happening in Cutter Gap and everybody is convinced that Christy is cursed. There she meets the doctor who needs her help to save a life and the handsome minister who helps her face the challenges of teaching and loving the mountain people. Join Christy as she crosses from the familiar world of parties and pretty things to the different world of Cutter Gap, located in the heart of the Smoky Mountains. The Bridge to Cutter Gap: Christy Huddleston's dream is to teach poor mountain children. "Dumpy!" she pronounced with a pained grimace.
