Explore the Eelgrass Meadow with Sam and Crystal

By: Gloria Snively,Karen Gillmore

With beautiful, scientifically accurate illustrations, this fascinating story teaches children about the many fish, crustaceans, marine mammals, and micro-organisms that live in and feed off the eelgrass meadows of the north Pacific coastal region. “Recommended for school and public libraries regardless of their proximity to the west coast. Although works of fiction, the books contain a wealth of accessible facts.”—Resource Links “A major theme that emerges is the need to respect and care for the ocean environment and to understand the harmony among its inhabitants. These appealing, fact-rich books go a long way to enhancing that understanding for young readers. Highly recommended.”—CM: Canadian Review of Materials Sam and Crystal’s coastal adventure continues as brother and sister dive deeper—literally—into the marine habitats of Eagle Cove, home of Aunt Kate and Uncle Charlie. In their third adventure, the kids learn about one of the most ecologically important ecosystems on the west coast: the eelgrass meadow. This rich habitat provides food and shelter to countless marine critters—from tiny micro-organisms to hundreds of fish species to giant marine mammals, such as humpback whales. Ada, an Indigenous woman from nearby Salmon Bay Village, tells the children about her people’s knowledge of land and sea, complementing Aunt Kate’s Western scientific teachings and reinforcing the importance of respecting nature. Combining an entertaining story with gorgeous imagery and the author’s scientific background and extensive work with Indigenous Elders and educators, Explore the Emerald Eelgrass Meadow with Sam and Crystal brings the coastline to life for children ages eight and up.

Marilyn: Norma Jeane

By: Gloria Steinem

The feminist icon and New York Times–bestselling author offers an intimate appraisal of the ultimate sex symbol—and the real woman behind the images. Few books have altered the perception of a celebrity as much as Marilyn. Gloria Steinem, the renowned feminist who inspired the film The Glorias, reveals that behind the familiar sex symbol lay a tortured spirit with powerful charisma, intelligence, and complexity. This national bestseller delves into a topic many other writers have ignored—that of Norma Jeane, the young girl who grew up with an unstable mother, constant shuffling between foster homes, and abuse. Steinem evocatively recreates that world, connecting it to the fragile adult persona of Marilyn Monroe. Her compelling text draws on a long, private interview Monroe gave to photographer George Barris, part of an intended joint project begun during Monroe’s last summer. Steinem’s Marilyn also includes Barris’s extraordinary portraits of Monroe, taken just weeks before the star’s death. “An even-handed introduction to the Monroe phenomenon.” —Library Journal

Lessons Learned on My Way Home

By: Gloria Lewis-Vaughn

Lessons Learned on My Way Home is the autobiography of Gloria Lewis Vaughn. Lessons allows the reader to visit some of the rooms of Gloria's life, to experience through her story the joys of childhood once again, to cheer as, like the Phoenix, she rises from the snare of addiction to the heights of redemption, while sharing universal lessons learned along the way. Lessons gives the glory to God, and to the reader valuable glimpses of practical application. From forgiveness, to deliverance, to gratitude and beyond, Lessons holds the mirror and gives not only a look at the author but a glimpse of oneself as well. "Gloria Lewis Vaughn reflects her rich experience growing up in a large family with strong parents. She captivates the reader with her passionate account of a wavering soul who initially resisted God's special calling. Her work is beautiful." -James Patterson Editorial Writer, Indianapolis Star "Vaughn's first work is a sparkling account of one woman's attempt to find her life in the modern urban wilderness. Her memory of family sustains her through great peril, and she engagingly recollects scenes of her home during childhood. With verve and whole-hearted enthusiasm she sets out on the ancient path taken by Augustine, Francis of Assissi, and St. John of the Cross. Vaughn's street-wise savvy gets tangled up with her burning quest for God in ways that are both hilarious and awe-inspiring." -Robert Coalson Editor, Broad Ripple Laser Type
