Stickel's excellent children's book about a young African-American boy whose mother is an artistically gifted quilter. She uses her needle not only to patch clothes but to create a beautiful quilt for his bed, a project that connects perfectly to the book's theme of dreaming. Ellen LaFlecheA young boy tells of his Mama's needle and her spool of long white thread. She uses it to patch holes in the knees of his pants, bind scraps of cloth into quilts and stitch dreams into reality.

Capturing the magic of a day at the beach, The Wild Waves Speak, reveals a child's delight in listening to the ocean, building sand castles and playing in the surf. Children will have numerous opportunities to learn the letter "w" and practice its sound as they join in the ocean's repeated whisper, "w w w whoosh." Speech and reading skills are interdependent and children make leaps toward literacy when those skills are taught together; this book does just that in an entertaining fashion. The rhyming text in this story will charm early readers and those working on their "w" sound production. And the illustrations will inspire both parent and child to spend a day together at the beach.Speech therapists, teachers and parents alike, will find this book a valuable resource in building articulation, phonemic awareness and early reading skills. Children will be entertained as they listen to the poetic text and pour over the illustrations depicting the ocean in all of its moods. The descriptive language and artwork will engage the readers as their vocabulary naturally grows. This book will make an excellent addition to preschools, early elementary schools, public libraries, speech therapist's collections and home libraries.
Marie can't seem to keep her voice or body quiet as she twitches and twirls her way through life hearing, "Sh Sh Sh " at every twist and turn. Her irrepressible spirit has her leap through the living room practicing ballet; pound with exuberance on a toy drum (near the neighbor's window); and imitate a baby baboon during story-time at the library. Children will laugh with delight at her antics and relate to the common refrain, "Sh Sh Sh " Their delight will increase at the end of the story when Marie gets to say the final "Sh "Speech, language and reading skills are interdependent and children make leaps toward literacy when those skills are taught together. This story, besides providing entertainment, will help children learn the letter combination "sh" and give them practice pronouncing it as they join in the repeated refrain Sh Sh Sh
A young boy tells of his Mama's needle and her spool of long white thread. She uses it to patch holes in the knees of his pants, bind scraps of cloth into quilts and stitch dreams into reality. When he has a magical dream of her needle and thread, mama stitches a quilt together for remembering, and on it, are patches of his dreams. Wearing his quilt as a cape, he flies with his imagination. The narrator of this engaging story is a young African American child. One night, he dreams of his Mama's needle and her spool of long white thread, flying through the air with its white tail of thread floating along behind, like it's riding a wave. The needle catches a bird flying by but doesn't hurt it. It spears some leaves shivering in a tree, and rays from the sun. It even snatches the tail of the wind and wrestles it onto the thread. His mama laughs when she hears about the dream but she stitches the images onto a quilt. "Her long shiny needle stitched those pieces together for remembering. Mama says I should go ahead and fly with my dreams." And he does, taking his quilt with him. It becomes a cape as he rides a dog sled up a snow-covered mountain; a parachute, a saddle-blanket on a camel, a tent, a sail on a sail-boat and finally, a flying carpet.

Efter andra världskriget började Theodor Teto Ahrenberg (1912-1989) att skapa en av de mest ambitiösa och egensinniga privata samlingar av modern konst som funnits; en samling som alltjämt i stort sett är okänd. Den innehöll närmare tusen verk av etablerade mästare som Matisse, Picasso och Chagall, och av banbrytande yngre konstnärer som Kantor, Baertling och Tinguely. Ahrenbergs komplexa och personliga samling formades av hans övertygelse om att han inte bara var samlare utan även katalysator någon som underlättade för utställningar, samarbeten och uppdrag, och använde konsten för att motsätta sig konservatism och självbelåtenhet. Samlingen beslagtogs 1962 av de svenska myndigheterna, under omtvistade förhållanden, och skingrades sedan. Det fanns också långt gångna planer på att skapa ett nytt konstmuseum av världsklass, ritat av Le Corbusier, på vattnet utanför Norr Mälarstrand. Även dessa planer skingrades. Ahrenberg byggde sedan upp en ny och än mer progressiv samling som lyfte fram konstnärer ur 60-talets avantgarde, såsom Christo, Arman, Lucio Fontana och Niki de Saint Phalle. Med hjälp av ett rikt bildmaterial och korrespondens, varav mycket aldrig tidigare har publicerats, utforskar denna bok på ett uttömmande sätt Ahrenbergs fascinerande samlingar och liv.
After a tragic incident of domestic violence involving her precious daughter, Mother Brown is led to start a new single's ministry at Overcoming Faith Church-W.O.O.F. These young women will ban together to keep the wolf at the door through service and celibacy, and by following the "one-another" scriptures in the Bible. You know them: Love one another; Serve one another; Be kind...blah, blah, blah.But as you can imagine their good intentions run into come big-bad opposition from within and without, not the least of which is Evangelist Johnesther Mayberry. You see, Johnesther, the illustrious First Lady, and the wily Head Deacon Raython Bliss are secretly mounting a coup against her unsuspecting husband, the Right Reverend-and equally fine-Pastor John Mayberry."It's gonna take the Spirit of the Lord to sort this mess out "
