nidottu
A poignant tale of an elderly nursing home resident who seems to live in a world of memories, from award-winning author Lester L. Laminack. Although Miss Olivia is unable to respond and doesn't always seem to notice her family, her daughter Angel and grandson Troy know better. They know that Momma Olivia has an inner life filled with beautiful memories. Anything from a stunning sunset to the mention of her porch swing can remind her of her past, when she was just a little girl out on the farm with her papa or, more recently, at a birthday party shared with her daughter. Although she can no longer do the things she used to do or communicate her thoughts, she's still the Momma Olivia they know and love. In tender terms children can understand, Lester L. Laminack gives voice to the seldom discussed tragedy of watching a loved one age and slip into the past. Constance R. Bergum's delicate watercolors softly express the love that holds a family together during times of hardship.

A lyrical picture book memoir of one boy and his beloved grandmother, from award-winning author Lester L. Laminack. Every Saturday, a young boy rides his bicycle up and down country roads, past farms and a filling station, until he reaches his Mammaw's house. She is waiting for him. There, the young boy helps her. She picks tomatoes and he pushes the lawnmower through the dew-wet grass. But the best part of the day is helping his Mammaw make teacakes from scratch and eating the hot, sweet cakes fresh from the oven. Lester L. Laminack's richly detailed prose perfectly portrays the special relationship of a young boy and his grandmother. Award-winning illustrator Chris Soentpiet's remarkably detailed watercolor images beautifully capture the setting.

Farm animals rescue an enormous egg from the road and then must figure out how to care for the mysterious creature. What could possibly be inside this egg and why is it taking so long to hatch? Lester Laminack returns with a delightfully funny sequel to his barnyard story of three hens and a peacock. This time the animals decide to work together to rescue an enormous egg that falls from a truck in the road in front of their farm. Working together is, however, not without challenges when three bossy hens are involved. The animals have no idea what is in the egg and have never seen one so big. But over the course of trying to protect it and hatch it, they find themselves quite smitten with it, each imagining that what's in the egg is a version of themselves. An unexpectedly heartwarming ending leaves the animals speechless when they meet their new ward and learn who among them is the greatest nurturer of all. This bestselling creative team delivers another amusing picture book about life on a sleepy farm. This one with a lot of heart, too.

Lester and Mickey's family histories track perfectly with the history of the New World. As a high school history teacher, he would start the first day of class by relating events from his extraordinary life story as a descendant from Mormon pioneers. And then he would shift and tell his husband's life story as a descendant from slaves. The timelines of the book start in 1619, when the first slave ship arrived in the New World. Lester's timeline starts in 1634 when his ancestor arrived in Hingham, Massachusetts, decades before the Salem Witch Trials took place across the harbor. This book pairs the narratives of these two families with the constant efforts undertaken by the colonizers to retain governing power while in the minority. Those centuries-old narratives can be traced in an unbroken chain to the populist messaging and demagoguery that is now pervasive in the messaging that shapes every single election in modern times. Whether out of willful ignorance, racism, or isolationism, the outcome is still the same. A charismatic and powerful voice emerges from a minority group that refuses to admit their privilege but are nevertheless living in constant fear of losing it.
Moonlight Music and You: Wigan Casino Pushing Through The Doors
Northern Soul and specifically Wigan Casino are still regarded today as something that truly made a significant mark on the uk's musical history. Largely credited as a movement that began in northern England whose roots were heavily influenced by black American soul singers. This is a personal recollection of an era that moved in the shadows of popular culture during the seventies and seldom fell into the public domain unless highlighted for all the wrong reasons. Wigan Casino was a venue that created a subculture that was so diverse that it grew into legendary status without the need for todays commercial advantages. Today it is played to audiences world wide and it still retains it's own individualism along with a status that allows it to be truly recognised as a major contributor to the history of British music. This book will resonate with those people who took a similar journey into the long nights of Northern Soul while also striking a familiar chord with those who spent their youth surviving the many diverse and painful years of the seventies and eighties.
