![]() She was still looking at me, I could feel it. ![]() Until then, she is happy to be a mum to her four children and keep reading and writing books that take her to a different world each time. Na'ima divides her time between London and Cairo, Egypt, and dreams of living on a farm with her own horses. At high school, her loves included performing arts, public speaking, and writing stories that shocked her teachers! She has written several multicultural books for children which have won, and been shortlisted, for numerous awards. She was born in Leeds, England, grew up in Zimbabwe, and went to university in London, England. ![]() Robert is descended from Scottish Highlanders on her father's side and the Zulu people on her mother's side. Can Ali and Amirah ever have a halal "happily ever after"? And, although Ali is still coming to terms with the loss of his mother and exploring his identity as a Muslim, and although Amirah has sworn never to get married, they can't stop thinking about each other. When Ali first meets Amirah, he notices everything about herher hijab, her long eyelashes and her red trainersin the time it takes to have one look, before lowering his gaze. ![]() "Robert's poetic style is captivating." School Library Journal, on Ramadan Moon "Interesting, and certainly timely." Kirkus Reviews, on Boy Vs Girl ![]() ![]() Underwood described treason as “wholesale murder,” and declared that the instigators of the rebellion had “hands dripping with the blood of slaughtered innocents.” In early 1866, Lee decided against visiting friends while in Washington, D.C. In his instructions to the grand jury, Judge John C. Lee was indicted for treason by a Norfolk, Virginia grand jury. Americans will be surprised to learn that in June of 1865 Robert E. ![]() ![]() Immediately after the Civil War, however, many northerners believed Lee should be hanged for treason and war crimes. ![]() Woodrow Wilson believed General Lee was a “model to men who would be morally great.” Douglas Southall Freeman, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his four-volume biography of Lee, described his subject as “one of a small company of great men in whom there is no inconsistency to be explained, no enigma to be solved.” Winston Churchill called him “one of the noblest Americans who ever lived.” Until recently, there was even a stained glass window devoted to Lee's life at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. ![]() ![]() ![]() The word “walk” is repeated as a verb and noun, and as a rhetorical question. ![]() Working in a range of forms, the poem (like most in the book) weaves hard-won wisdom with heartfelt observations it “worries” or bends the word “walk,” for example, in section three, as the speaker tries to come to terms with the cold hand of death, even as it celebrates the lessons delivered to her from the father, who exists in the hallways of her memory. The most demanding poem, the book’s masterpiece, is at its center, “The Speed of Belief,” and is focused on the death of the poet’s father, Floyd Smith. For many of these, the speakers’ tones show dismay, wonder, awe, with an intelligent, questioning, dissatisfied, razor-sharp voice. Its themes include family births and deaths, outer space as a metaphor for inner space, and broader political questions regarding violence and power. Tracy Smith’s Life on Mars is a strong, surprising, and often beautiful book. ![]() ![]() Raised by prudish, old-school parents.” In The Bell Jar, Hood discovered a girl who wanted to be a writer, just as the author did, and who “expressed the very things I worried over.” Discouraged by teachers and family, though, Hood became a flight attendant, working on a novel in hotels on layovers. The right book seemed to come at just the right time: when she was 15, for example, Hood first read Herman Wouk’s Marjorie Morningstar and felt that the author “had somehow climbed into my brain and emerged with my story.” Although she only once had met anyone Jewish, she completely identified with Marjorie: “Slightly spoiled. Books, writes Hood, gave her “an escape from my lonely school days, where girls seemed to speak a language I didn’t understand,” and inspired “a curiosity about the world and about people.” Although her mother thought that buying books was a waste of money, she saved her allowance for the Nancy Drew series and was elated when a Waldenbooks opened up in a mall nearby. Encouraged by her teacher, she was working her way through fourth-grade books by the time the school year was over. Her school did not have a library, but in second grade, she discovered Little Women and was entranced. An avid reader since the age of 4, she grew up in a small Rhode Island town in an Italian immigrant family that did not own books. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Like most writers, novelist Hood ( The Book that Matters Most, 2016, etc.) loves books. A novelist chronicles her life through the books that shaped her. ![]() ![]() ![]() Slowly add confectioners' sugar and beat for several minutes, until the mixture is satiny. ![]() In the large bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter on medium speed until light and fluffy.Generously spray a heavy 10-inch Bundt or straight-sided angel food cake pan with baking spray. ![]() The cake, which is a perfect base for peaches and whipped cream or another fruit topping, gets better after a couple of days and will be good for a week if you keep it well wrapped. Charles found the recipe and deciphered it, and included it in her cookbook "A Real Southern Cook: In Her Savannah Kitchen." You can use lemon juice and zest instead of lemon flavoring, which the original recipe called for, or increase the vanilla by a teaspoon if you are leaving out the lemon altogether. The patient, Mary Martin, mailed it to her long after she left the nursing home, but because of a stroke, her handwriting was shaky. It came from Dora Charles's aunt Laura Daniels, who got it from a nursing-home patient she was working with in the 1970s. This one produces a higher, lighter cake than many recipes. The South has about as many poundcake recipes as there are grandmothers. ![]() ![]() ![]() The outside world has become this constant reminder of how unwelcomed she is that she has to take precautions to protect herself. The reader gets a first-hand experience of what a Muslim teenage girl might go through. The hatred and abuse she faces is real from the start and doesn’t seem to be exaggerated or simplified for the audience. Once, just after the terrorist attacks, several boys attacked Shirin and choked her with her scarf. ![]() A year has passed since 9/11, and because Shirin always wears a hijab, she is harassed and teased by other students. It was compelling to read about Shrini’s struggle of who she could trust and let into her world. A Very Wide Expanse of Sea tells Shirin’s story during that sophomore year. ![]() Islamophobia and Xenophobia are such vital themes to this book to show the reality of what people go through. I was worried about that initial set up of the story simply because there could be a lot of background that needed to be discussed in order for cultural ideals made clear. She tells the story of one Muslim girl experience growing up and living in a world post 9/11. Mafi has never been scared of getting dark with her writing, and I found that influence carried over well. Whereas Mafi’s other books were rooted much more in fantasy worlds that she had crafted herself, this book was set in a modern-day society that many of us are familiar with. Right away starting this book, I was amazed by how different the tone was. ![]() ![]() ![]() She has built a new perfect life for herself and she will do anything to make sure it stays that way, even if it means staying away from Jet. But everything about Jet screams bad boy and Ayden has spent the last few years running from anyone that makes her feel like the girl she grew up being. I mean with his tight leather pants, pierced and tattooed body he is every girls rock and roll dream man. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great new adult read.Opening Sentence: It was totally against everything I was supposed to be doing in my new life-to ask a really cute guy in a band to take me home.The Review:Ayden Cross can’t help the way Jet makes her feel. ![]() Review courtesy of Dark Faerie TalesQuick & Dirty: Sexy contemporary read with engaging characters, wonderful writing, and the perfect amount of drama. ![]() ![]() On their first adventure, they rescue a pixie called Chinky (renamed to Binky in revised editions and Jigs in the TV series) from a giant. After the chair rescues them from the shop, and gets them home, they decide to keep the chair in their playroom. There, they find a magic Wishing-Chair with the power to grow wings and fly. ![]() Mollie and Peter, searching for a birthday present for their mother, find a mysterious antiques shop which appears to be run by fairy folk. ![]() A TV series was made in 1998 as part of Enid Blytons Enchanted Lands. The first book, Adventures of the Wishing-Chair, has the distinction of being Enid Blyton's first full-length novel - although it is episodic in nature.
![]() ![]() ![]() Folklore as a tradition is mutable, so it’s only right that people today should put their own spin on tales that are hundreds or even thousands of years old.Īnd all this is precisely what intrigued me about Djeliya, a graphic novel by Senegalese author and illustrator Juni Ba. After all, most folklore begins as an oral tradition and if you’ve ever played a game of telephone then you know how words can get minced and mixed over time. One of the coolest ways I see people doing that is by putting their own spin on folklore tales as a means of bringing them into the future. But I believe in the power of folklore to unite communities, the enduring relevance of folklore even as societies become more technologically advanced, and the importance of preserving folklore as part of cultural history. I’ll be the first to admit that as a white person from Alabama, I don’t know a thing about West African folklore. ![]() |
