A birthday for bear by bonny becker6/7/2023 In any case, I liked this follow-up, but I was so struck with the format change, so disjointed by it, I had trouble enjoying the book as much as I wanted to. Why? Did they want Bear and Mouse to progress with the audience (which is kind of ingenious, if you think about it) from picture books to easy readers? Did they want to turn the twosome into an easy-reader friend duo, a la Frog And Toad or Cork And Fuzz? Were they trying to hit both markets for wider appeal? And then I wondered, are there other character/series that do this? But we all had to crowd around and squint! We wanted to enjoy Bear and Mouse's further antics together, as a read-aloud, as we did the first time around.Īnd it seemed wordier than it needed to be- like it started out as a picture book text, and then they decided to do the format change and up the word count to the easy-reader range. An easy reader by nature is harder to share- as it should be, since it is meant to be read by an emergent reader on his own. While it is an equally lovely story, with more of the same gorgeous illustrations, I missed the heft! I missed the nice, large canvas for the illustrations. This sequel, A Birthday For Bear, is an easy-reader format book. It is a sumptuous picture book- 56 pages and wide, it is a lovely size and length to showcase a simple and delightful story with perfect pacing and knock-out illustrations. A Visitor For Bear was one of my favorite picture books of 2008. This is the most perplexing book I've seen this year.

Carrie soto tennis6/7/2023 Can you describe what it was about this story that made it such a joyful experience for you to create? And frankly, I had a lot of fun listening to it.

In describing the moment of her capture by the Comanches, Fisher writes: Rebecca Gilleland and her brother William were captured by the Comanches. In 1840 both parents were killed by the Comanches who attacked their home. Her father joined the Texas army in 1838. Never having been inured to hardships, they were ill-prepared for the trials which awaited them. They settled in Refugio County near the Don Carlos Ranch. In 1837, Rebecca Jane Gilleland Fisher's father moved the family to Texas with his family, being utterly ignorant of frontier life. Gilleland Fisher in her short 7-page narrative, "Capture and Rescue of Mrs. Of particular interest is that told by Rebecca J.

Previously a featured student writer at Columbia’s 2016 Creative Writing Reading Series, Wolfe says her time at Columbia helped jump-start the journey of completing her first novel. "I knew that they would know our struggles as writers and could also invite us into their professional networks," she says. Wolfe, who grew up in the Robert Taylor Homes on Chicago's South Side, is the recipient of various literary awards for her short stories, which have appeared in African Voices, Chicago Journal, and Chicago Reader.Īttending Columbia for her graduate education in creative writing, Wolfe says the biggest draw to the college was its faculty, who are working artists and experts in their field. The story is inspired by Wolfe’s own experience in the city and explores the impact of racist institutions, gentrification, relationships, and the power of owning one’s past. This summer in Chicago, creative writing alum Toya Wolfe MFA '15 is busy celebrating the release of her debut novel, Last Summer on State Street, On Saturday, September 10, Chicago Writers Association board member and author Sandy Colbert will interview Wolfe, as well as, Eric Charles May, author of Bedrock Faith and associate professor of creative writing at Columbia.

Bell - an author and illustrator of books such as “ Rabbit and Robot” and “ Itty Bitty” - portrays a frightening medical view of deafness. Within the first few pages, the colors are muted to sage and dreary blue as Cece is hospitalized after contracting meningitis at age 4 and subsequently losing her hearing. The cover illustration is of El Deafo, Cece’s alter ego, flying through a bright blue sky. The story vividly depicts the challenges of finding friends when you feel different. Instead, those bunny ears serve as a symbol for her own ears, which made her feel different from other kids when she was first struggling with hearing loss. The characters in Cece Bell’s “ El Deafo,” a graphic novel based on her childhood, have bunny ears, but they are not rabbits. Mystery man kristen ashley free6/5/2023 He moved to the bed and I watched that too. I wasn’t real hot on sharing any more than I already likely did. That already messed with my head enough, that and the fact that he came at all, I let him come, then he made me come after which he came. I probably already shared with half of Denver, all of them getting their own private show. It was so fascinating I should sell tickets. Of course, there wasn’t except in my bedroom when he came to visit. Just my mystery man putting on clothes was like watching a badass, macho dance if there was such a thing. There was a rustle of clothes but other than that, silence.Įven as a shadow, I saw he had masculine grace. It was still dark when his shadow moved in the room. Then I felt his weight hit the bed, his body stretching out beside mine, he turned me into him, I opened my mouth to speak and before I could do the sane thing, his mouth was on mine.Īnd for the next two hours, I didn’t think at all. The sane thing to do.Īnd I was thinking of doing it, honest to God, I was. As silently as he came, he’d leave.īut this was the right thing to do. A moment where my mind said to close my eyes and open my mouth and tell him to go away.īut if I did, I knew he would. I had a moment like every moment I had when he showed. If this was true, it wouldn’t surprise me. It was so warm it was hot, like the blood that ran through its veins went faster than the blood of any average man. I felt the covers slide down my body then a hand light on the small of my back. Drugs are fun in the beginning but become a drag later on – this was a series of photographs each showing different animals/objects witha word below. A few of the projects where Everybody always thinks they’re right which consisted of four inflatable monkeys put in different cities in Scotland each holding a word. The projects where made up of billboards, exhibitions, adverts and pieces of graphic design. Sagmeister then shortened the list and made a whole number of them into projects. The list consisted of things such as helping other people helps me, everybody who is honest is interesting, worrying solves nothing and many more. I chose to research his project from 2008 which was a book called ‘things i have learned in my life so far’ the underlying concept was to make a list of all the things Sagmeister had learned in his life so far. I have chose to research into Stefan Sagmeister more as i am intrigued by his work.
