In 2003 I was given the opportunity to go to China to teach English. I had a contract for one year. I realized that life in China was more interesting than anything I had experienced before so I stayed. This book contains many antidotes and stories about what happened to me, around me and in China generally. This is a first-hand view of everyday life in China.
This book is full of delightful, sometimes comical comments and stories by children. These are stories gleaned from 27 years of interacting with elementary school children. The author worked in elementary education as a librarian and aide, with children ranging in age from preschool to fifth grade. These stories illustrate the unique, and impressionable view of young children, as they learn about their world. Children have important things to say. They are honest and uninhibited. Those who listen carefully, will be enamored, enlightened, and entertained. It is our hope that these stories will brighten your day and lighten your load, as you travel along your path through this life.
In The Myth of Water: Poems from the Life of Helen Keller, Alabama poet Jeanie Thompson offers a rich collection of poems that form an illuminating first-person narrative through the life of writer and activist Helen Keller.
More than three hundred years ago there lived in England a poet named Edmund Spenser. He was brave and true and gentle, and he loved all that was beautiful and good. Edmund Spenser wrote many poems, and the most beautiful of all is the one called 'The Faerie Queen.' He loved so dearly all things that are beautiful and all things that are good, that his eyes could see Fairyland more clearly than the eyes of other men ever could.
