Elinka's World explores the experiences of childhood and how a small child interprets them. The narrators observe her parents, her grandmas, and her playmates, as well as ants and frogs, a funeral, and other events. Readers may recall some of their own experiences in similar situations as they, too, began to wonder what ant families do at night or how Grandma used her ear to play the piano. The verses of Elinka's World remind us that even though we all have similar experiences, each human being is special, and they bring us closer to the innocent curiosity and peace of childhood.
Women often share a special bond that starts with secret giggles in childhood and lasts, well, forever. In The Two of Us, authors Ellen Small and Jim Dale pay tribute to those special relationships between girlfriends of every age. The Two of Us helps girlfriends tell each other just how they feel about their most special alliance. In this delightful gift book, they'll find touching words about the true meaning of friendship and photographs that evoke a spirit of warmth and camaraderie. The two of us . . . * cry at TV commercials about reunions . . . but would never admit it to anyone else. * can eat a party-size bag of M and M's in one sitting. * have a sense when things will go on sale. * love dancing and would dance with each other if it wasn't so queer.
Together you have cried, laughed, shopped, dined, shared secrets, and shopped some more. She drives you crazy sometimes, but only because she reminds you of yourself.

The Two of Us says all the things you have wanted to say to the woman who has been such an important part of your life.

The two of us...may not always see eye to eye, but we can always speak heart to heart. Mothers and daughters will smile in recognition at the funny, honest sentiments, secrets, confessions, and tender moments captured in this heartwarming gift book.
A captivating look at how a child, fits into the great, big universe around us. “Big sky, big sky, what is bigger than the sky?” In this clever concept book for young readers, award-winning author Jo Ellen Bogart explores the size of animate and inanimate objects and their place in the universe. She introduces children to the concept of “we” — that humans are a big part of the world, but a small part of existence. In the vastness of the universe, with galaxies swirling through space, the book begins with simple words printed on the darkness. Moving closer to our world, we see the solar system, our sun at the center. Closer still, we see the huge ball of fire, which is the sun, and the third planet out from it — our blue Earth. From Earth looming huge on the page, young readers view smaller and smaller objects, from mountain to tree to man to child to kitten to mouse to flea to microscopic beings, amazing in their complexity. Accompanied by artist Gillian Newland’s lavish watercolor paintings, Big and Small, Room for All places the immensity and wonder of space in perspective so young readers comprehend they are part of creation, but a small part of all that exists.
One little kid can't stand being short, until he finds a new friend and learns that each of us has something to offer, regardless of size! No! It's not fair. I don't want to be small. I want to grow faster so I can be tall! Being shorter than your friends, your brother, and so many other people can be tough. It's hard to see in a crowd, you can't always ride the fun rides, and sometimes even the clothing you want to wear is too big! But worst of all, being small means that it's impossible to get your teddy bear down when it gets stuck in a tree. What's a short kid to do? It's only when a taller friend comes along and offers to help that he realizes there's no such thing as one size fits all--and just how wonderful that is. In this bright and playful rhyming picture book filled with vibrant, cheerful illustrations, readers learn that being short, tall, or anything in between can be plenty of fun.
Written with warmth and humor, The Two Of Us: A Book About Dogs And Their Owners is a tribute to true dog lovers. This gift book combines contemporary black-and-white photographs with funny, honest sentiments, secrets, confessions, and tender moments shared by dogs and their owners.

Human ecology is ultimately part of a general theory of society. This is the argument developed here by Roy Ellen, whose exploration of the interplay between social organization and ecology in small-scale subsistence systems has direct bearings both on the investigation of human environmental relations in general and on contemporary social theory. He argues that while ecological study of non-industrial societies cannot be elevated to the status of theory, domain or discipline, it can be represented as a single 'problematic' that historically has acquired some degree of autonomy and which continues to make a significant contribution to a wider anthropology. Dr Ellen introduces his subject matter through an extended and systematic discussion of some major frameworks developed within the last hundred years to examine and explain facets of the relationship between culture, social organization and the environment: determinism, possibilism, cultural ecology, systems theory and ideas derived from modern biology. He follows this with a detailed review and appraisal of important recent research involving the use of ecological models, methods and data. This original and innovative study of the pre-eminently social character of human ecological relations will be of considerable interest to all students and researchers concerned with understanding the nature of the relationship between human beings and their environments.

This is a story drenched in history. A children's book that tells the incredible tale of three courageous Sierra Leone feral cats stowed away on a notorious slave ship. A slave ship destined for the small barrier island of Sullivan's Island, South Carolina. A fictional story based on actual historic events, the narrative provides an unprecedented perspective of an animals' view of slavery. My hope is that this little book could be a vehicle in which a conversation on this most difficult subject, slavery, could begin with our young ones.
