Book Description
"The Scary Cloud Monster- A Kid Hero Story" is one of several stories originally written for my children. Although the idea of a scary story may seem antithetical to child development and child safety, these stories were designed to be exciting for the relevant age group while promoting the idea that children can use their innate and learned abilities to meet the challenges of their lives. There is a strong educational and science component to the story. Indeed, The Scary Cloud Monster, is colorfully illustrated by a talented graphic artist who is also my daughter-in law, is the story of two young brothers, (around ages 5 and 7) who on a sunny day with a friend, are chatting about the rumor of a cloud monster. As the sun disappears and their friend runs home, Nick and Max are faced with the appearance of an ominous dark cloud that comes alive. As the "hands" of the giant cloud grab hold of Max, the boys use their knowledge about clouds and rain to defeat the monster cloud. The boys use the garden hose in the yard to spray water into the cloud causing it to rain out, successfully defeating the cloud monster. The boys talk about a "Make it Rain" experiment learned in school that showed them when a cloud fills with water, it rains out. Children are urged to try the very simple experiment which is set out for them after the story ends. There is also a safety rule reminding children to tell a trusted adult if they are ever in trouble. It is important to note that the goal of the story is to show that children are heroes who can solve difficult situations without the "special powers" of superheroes. This story is unique in that it uses an age appropriate "scary" theme to encourage children to resolve challenges facing them by using their own education and abilities.

Rethinking American Music
Author: Tara Browner
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252051157
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
In Rethinking American Music, Tara Browner and Thomas L. Riis curate essays that offer an eclectic survey of current music scholarship. Ranging from Tin Pan Alley to Thelonious Monk to hip hop, the contributors go beyond repertory and biography to explore four critical yet overlooked areas: the impact of performance; patronage's role in creating music and finding a place to play it; personal identity; and the ways cultural and ethnographic circumstances determine the music that emerges from the creative process. Many of the articles also look at how a piece of music becomes initially popular and then exerts a lasting influence in the larger global culture. The result is an insightful state-of-the-field examination that doubles as an engaging short course on our complex, multifaceted musical heritage. Contributors: Karen Ahlquist, Amy C. Beal, Mark Clagu,. Esther R. Crookshank, Todd Decker, Jennifer DeLapp-Birkett, Joshua S. Duchan, Mark Katz, Jeffrey Magee, Sterling E. Murray, Guthrie P. Ramsey Jr., David Warren Steel, Jeffrey Taylor, and Mark Tucker
