Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
Youth librarians and early literacy educators will find this book a helpful tool for making storytimes more inclusive and better representative of their community and the world at large. Written by two experienced librarians from one of the nation's most diverse metroplexes, Social Justice at Storytime provides a real-world, hands-on guide to storytimes that will help young people become more socially aware, empathetic, and confident. Storytimes can be a welcoming space for all members of the community. Anyone presenting storytime to young children can use these suggestions to broaden children's understanding of the often-confusing situations they see and hear around them. It is possible to discuss race, gender/sexuality, and diverse abilities in a child-appropriate way. Making social justice a part of an existing or new storytime practice provides an early literacy approach to including children in timely conversations. Readers of this thoughtful book will not only become more socially aware and empathetic, but they will also be equipped to choose diverse books and songs, make thoughtful and inclusive language choices, become more in tune with their diverse communities, and handle concerns from caregivers or administrators.

The Twitch
Author: Ken Konor
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1438968094
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
"The Twitch" is a work in the tradition of Kafka's The Metamorphosis and, more recently, Philip Roth's The Breast: a weird occurrence, psychologically probing, engaging and compelling on many levels. But there is lots of good humour and wit in this fiction; it's smart and clever in conception and execution; the characters are interesting and sympathetically drawn; and the writer knows how to pace his writing and give a compelling shape and ending to his chapters. It's a good story. Kevin is an actor and one day he notices a spasm in his right hand as he is picking up an apple in the market. Kevin tries to ignore the twitch as it daily becomes more and more a nuisance and a part of his life. The twitch spreads and begins to dominate his actions. The account traces Kevin's experiences with the twitch, its impact on his relationships, his performance and his attitude. He finally seeks help from an unlikely figure, Dr. Oaks, an engineer and movement specialist who has his own strange ideas on the twitch. Dr Oaks links the twitch to a global shift in mind and movement, and sends Kevin off to perform a series of socially bizarre actions and report back on the consequences. Along the way, Kevin believes he has discovered a plot by a mysterious yoga sect to control people's movements. The sect now run by his ex-girlfriend becomes the focus in his search for the source and cure of his twitch. But his research for the truth raises questions about Kevin's own motivations and character. Is the twitch a benign affliction or part of a sinister out of control force that will soon take over us all? Does the solution for Kevin lie in looking inwards or in thwarting an outside menace?
