These days when you go into a book shop, many of the illustrations today just aren't that bright. I've set out to create books that always appear happy and use bright colors.The Devon the Dog's Adventure series is a collection of beautifully illustrated children's book aimed at children between 0-6. Devon the dog goes on an adventure, meeting up with wild animals and helping a lost baby animal find it's mother by comparing it to each animal they meet on the way, finally discovering that the baby is a panda. The book educates children by showing them over 15 animals and teaching a little about them.

The Missionary's Curse and Other Tales from a Chinese Catholic Village

The Missionary's Curse and Other Tales from a Chinese Catholic Village

Henrietta Harrison

University of California Press
2013
sidottu
"The Missionary's Curse" tells the story of a Chinese village that has been Catholic since the seventeenth century, drawing direct connections between its history, the globalizing church, and the nation. Harrison recounts the popular folk tales of merchants and peasants who once adopted Catholic rituals and teachings for their own purposes, only to find themselves in conflict with the orthodoxy of Franciscan missionaries arriving from Italy. The village's long religious history, combined with the similarities between Chinese folk religion and Italian Catholicism, forces us to rethink the extreme violence committed in the area during the Boxer Uprising. The author also follows nineteenth century Chinese priests who campaigned against missionary control, up through the founding of the official church by the Communist Party in the 1950s. Harrison's in-depth study provides a rare insight into villager experiences during the Socialist Education Movement and Cultural Revolution, as well as the growth of Christianity in China in recent years. She makes the compelling argument that Catholic practice in the village, rather than adopting Chinese forms in a gradual process of acculturation, has in fact become increasingly similar to those of Catholics in other parts of the world.
