Bursting with colour, character and charm. Written in playful rhyme to delight audiences of any age. 'I'm Glad I'm Me' is a message of encouragement to reflect on our individuality and embrace it.In today's world, where comparison and self-doubt often prevail, 'I'm Glad I'm Me' gently reminds us about the importance of self-belief and being content with who you are.This endearing read takes you into the minds of a diverse range of children who express admiration for an animal for their unique traits. Yet, each child pauses to consider that this animal may just envy them for the freedoms and privilege that they take for granted.A word from the author.Now more than ever we are inundated by messaging that profits off our proclivity to compare ourselves to others. Young children are the most susceptible and by far the most targeted by this messaging. All in the most formative years of their lives.'I'm Glad I'm Me' seeks to send a simple but important message to its readers. We will often feel compelled to compare ourselves to others. We may even envy them for who they are or what they have. But it is also important to be able to identify value in ourselves and focus on that.My hope is that this simple message will help to build a degree of emotional resilience. To arm them against the thought that they're not enough. And to help them to build a strong and clear sense of self."I look at all these animals, while back at me they're gazing, I think they're all pretty great but they think I'm amazing And while it's fun to dream of being strong and wild and free, I'm happy just the way I am..."

In August 1960 the publication of "Quarto de Despejo" ("Child of the Dark") created a sensation in Brazil - and in the rest of the world - as it appeared in translations in fourteen languages. That diary of a poor black woman from a favela on the outskirts of Sao Paulo became the best-selling book in Brazilian history. In it, Carolina Maria de Jesus chronicled her life as an unemployed, single parent of three children, eking out a precarious existence selling scrap paper and other detritus found in the city streets. She described how she wrote at night on the scavenged scraps. Her remarkable diary - angry, proud, wretched, and hopeful - was found and published by an enterprising journalist. The book's success permitted Carolina to leave her flimsy shack in triumph and move into the cinder-block house of her fantasy."I'm Going to Have a Little House" is de Jesus' second diary. It covers the first year following her rise to fame. In it she recounts her struggles with celebrity, middle-class expectations, and the racial and social tensions her success had exacerbated. This work, never previously translated into English, tells the rest of the story - the grim truth that favela life doesn't prepare one for middle-class 'respectability' and that the fall back into poverty is as easy as the struggle to escape it is difficult. Carolina Maria de Jesus died in 1977, forgotten and in poverty. Robert M Levine is a professor of history and Director of Latin American Studies at the University of Miami. He is the author of "The Life and Death of Carolina Maria de Jesus". Melvin S. Arrington, Jr. is a professor of modern languages at the University of Mississippi.

The life of visionary folk artist and labor organizer Ralph Fasanella stunningly illustrated for picture book readers. When dared to jump, Ralph always took the dare. So begins this loving tribute to a singular artist and his tireless efforts to honor and celebrate immigrant and working-class communities through his paintings. Born in 1914 New York City to Italian immigrants, Ralph's youth was one of dress factories, ice deliveries, union meetings, and Momma's stories of the Bread & Roses Strike around the dinner table. By teaching himself how to paint, Ralph discovered a new way to reach working people: he would depict their lives, their work, and American history with electric color at a grand scale. Focusing on themes of social justice, immigrant rights, labor rights, and the dignity of working people, I'm Gonna Paint inspires to give a new generation the confidence to continue the fight for better working conditions. Anne Broyles taps into Ralph's indomitable spirit to show his evolution as an artist, while Victoria Tentler-Krylov's energetic art leaps off the page with wonder and homages to Ralph's style. Meticulously researched with quotes from Ralph to underline his philosophy and approach to artmaking, the robust back matter includes reproductions of his paintings, historical photos, a timeline, a bibliography, a source notes, and much more.
