Book Description
Warning -- this book contains top-secret information about butterflies! Prepare to be shocked and grossed out by this hilarious and totally true picture book introduction to a fascinating insect. Butterflies are beautiful and quiet and gentle and sparkly . . . but that's not the whole truth. Butterflies can be GROSS. And one butterfly in particular is here to let everyone know! Talking directly to the reader, a monarch butterfly reveals how its kind is so much more than what we think. Did you know some butterflies enjoy feasting on dead animals, rotten fruit, tears and even poop? Some butterflies are loud, like the Cracker butterfly. Some are stinky -- the smell scares predators away. Butterflies can be sneaky, like the ones who pretend to be ants to get free babysitting. This hilarious and refreshing book with silly and sweet illustrations explores the science of butterflies and shows that these insects are not the stereotypically cutesy critters we often think they are -- they are fascinating, disgusting, complicated and amazing creatures.

Book Description
Naima Alam is a 24-year-old poet stirred into writing by her love for all things ominous, ambiguous, and confusing. Her respect for poetry was awakened by all whimsical ingredients of the written and spoken word. Her poetry is a fusion of mystical spirituality, teeny-bopper playful crush stories, magical imaginings, and dreams of an idealistic Bohemian love. Through her verse we experience the flight in her mind's eye as she visualizes herself as an unruly, defiant adventurer wading through the muddy backwoods of love, she herself an embodiment of haze, anticipation, and heart, unconcerned with disapproval and sometimes with reality.

This enchanting collection of folk tales from South India is based on South Indian oral tradition, passed down from generation to generation, by word of mouth and told to the author when he was a young boy by his mother..

The refreshing descriptions of nature: woodlands, meadows, animals, birds and insects are designed to bring children closer to nature and to make them appreciative of things around them that are unique in color and design. In the first story, the author tells the tale of two dove sisters, Kutty and Kuttathy who lived in the beautiful dove kingdom, Kanaka Puri. The bond between them is a perfect example of sisterly love. Unfortunately, an action in a hurry without foresight, severed the bond of love and affection and plunged the sisters into sorrow. The Firefly imagines the geneses of one of nature's simple wonders, one that has fascinated children through the ages. The story is replete with an original FIREFLY song. Manu the Wicked Fisherman is an unforgettable story about the struggle between good and evil, and how good triumphs. The last story, The Village School Teacher is a light and hilarious and will help the children close the book with a happy smile.

Book Description
The book tells the story of children s play that turns into mistreatments of animals. In some hours of fun, under the eyes of their parents, many children use in their play, small and innocent animals that end up being victims and suffer with these games. Many of these poor animals come to death. Children do not do this out of malice, and they have no idea what these games mean for the life of these animals. Thus, the book seeks to demonstrate the side of the animals victims of these games and the suffering they cause. It also shows the consequences of these games for nature. It is a book that seeks to sensitize parents and children to respect all animals as creations of Mother Nature and God. Their teachings also serve to develop high human feelings, a kind heart toward animals, and a conscience for the protection of the environment and ecology.

Book Description
A native of Pomabamba, Peru, Dorila A. Marting grew up surrounded by the tales of her native city as told by family members and local Quechua storytellers. In Peruvian Short Stories, Marting brings these childhood accounts to life with a narrative that is as distinctively authentic as it is universally relatable. "This Peruvian legend has many versions depending on who is telling, the story. I will relate to you what I heard a long, long time ago, as a child, from an elderly storyteller Quechua woman named Mama Cunchina ... " -The Cave of Maria Josefa With voices spanning from the small and elderly mouse (The Emigration of Domestic Animals) to the all-encompassing Mama Patcha (Mother Earth), every story is uniquely enchanting while still supporting the overall parable that is weaved throughout the collection. Marting illustrates her memories with the ease of the Quechua storytellers of her youth, and indeed these accounts of love, loss, family, nature, friendship, and respect are as crucial and resonant today as they were during the inception of Peruvian Folklore. I invite you to navigate to a foreign land and to a foreign culture and enjoy these stories as much as I have ... " -Mary L. Jones, Introduction
