Book Description
By the author of 2021 Pura Belpré Honor Book The Total Eclipse of Nestor Lopez, a sweeping, emotional middle grade historical novel about a twelve-year-old boy who leaves his family in Cuba to immigrate to the U.S. by himself, based on the author's family history. “I don’t remember. Tell me everything, Pepito. Tell me about Cuba.” When the failed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 solidifies Castro’s power in Cuba, twelve-year-old Cumba’s family makes the difficult decision to send him to Florida alone. Faced with the prospect of living in another country by himself, Cumba tries to remember the sound of his father’s clarinet, the smell of his mother’s lavender perfume. Life in the United States presents a whole new set of challenges. Lost in a sea of English speakers, Cumba has to navigate a new city, a new school, and new freedom all on his own. With each day, Cumba feels more confident in his new surroundings, but he continues to wonder: Will his family ever be whole again? Or will they remain just out of reach, ninety miles across the sea? A Kirkus Best Children's Book of the Year "...Cuevas’ latest is a triumph of the heart...A compassionate, emotionally astute portrait of a young Cuban in exile." —Kirkus, STARRED REVIEW "Cuevas’ intense and immersive account of a Cuban boy’s experience after the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion brings a specific point in history alive." —Booklist, STARRED REVIEW "Cuevas packs this sophomore novel with palpable emotions and themes of friendship, love, longing, and trauma, attentively conveying tumultuous historical events from the lens of one young refugee." — Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW

Book Description
The story of a truly galactic civilization with over 6,000 inhabited worlds. Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand is a science fiction masterpiece, an essay on the inexplicability of sexual attractiveness, and an examination of interstellar politics among far-flung worlds. First published in 1984, the novel's central issues—technology, globalization, gender, sexuality, and multiculturalism—have only become more pressing with the passage of time. The novel's topic is information itself: What are the repercussions, once it has been made public, that two individuals have been found to be each other's perfect erotic object out to "point nine-nine-nine and several nines percent more"? What will it do to the individuals involved, to the city they inhabit, to their geosector, to their entire world society, especially when one is an illiterate worker, the sole survivor of a world destroyed by "cultural fugue," and the other is—you!

Book Description
The sole purpose of this book is to teach you to THINK and to THINK correctly. In "MY LIFE IN MY POCKET FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS" you will learn that there are 24 Pockets of Success. Each pocket represents an aspect of life-a lesson to help you think about various situations that you will face-things like Goals, Hope, Disappointment, Anger, Humiliation, Money, Dating, and Loss. Think of this book as a zero to 100-point quiz: you get zero if you don't write anything in the book and 100 for completing each section. By answering the questions in this book, you will learn how to be successful by engaging in a conversation with yourself through the five senses of success. By using these senses you can, and will, have your dreams come true if you think about them, visualize having them, feel good about them, write them down and act on your ideas. You will recognize the power of words and how you must have certain words "in the pocket." These words will affect your decision-making and your way of thinking and how you think can make the difference between success and failure. Where you are today does not determine where you will be tomorrow. What determines your tomorrow is what you THINK about today. BR> AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY K.L. Lewis is a leading expert on Self-Advocacy. She has devoted the last fifteen years to helping families with children with special needs to advocate for their children, and travels around the country speaking and leading seminars that help individuals and businesses achieve success through goal-setting and outlining, "what they want to have," "what they want to be," and "what they want to do." She is the President and Founder of The Ripple Effect (www.TheRippleEffect.tv), a company that helps businesses and individuals realize their potential by understanding what Earl Nightingale states, "we become what we THINK about," and that the impossible takes a little longer, but not much. Kathy is also the author of the "My Life in My Pocket" series of books (www.MyLifeinMyPocket.com). She lives with her husband and two daughters in Tampa, Florida.

Book Description
Rhyming, fanciful allegory of the creative writing process. When a child’s carefully written poem slips out of a ripped pocket, its words join randomly with other words to form funny riffs and puns all over a busy city street. The child scrambles to capture the loose words and arrange them back into poem form, only to lose them again as a storm swoops in. Eventually, the words plant themselves in the muddy ground, growing into something that might be even better than the original poem: a Poet-Tree. A poem is never really lost. The words may just need a little room to play.

Book Description
A New York Times Best Art Book of 2019 “A riveting book . . . few stones are left unturned.”—Roberta Smith’s “Top Art Books of 2019,” The New York Times This fascinating and enlightening study of the tie-on pocket combines materiality and gender to provide new insight into the social history of women’s everyday lives—from duchesses and country gentry to prostitutes and washerwomen—and to explore their consumption practices, sociability, mobility, privacy, and identity. A wealth of evidence reveals unexpected facets of the past, bringing women’s stories into intimate focus. “What particularly interests Burman and Fennetaux is the way in which women of all classes have historically used these tie-on pockets as a supplementary body part to help them negotiate their way through a world that was not built to suit them.”—Kathryn Hughes, The Guardian “A brilliant book.”—Ulinka Rublack, Times Literary Supplement

Book Description
Ruby J. Gonzales moved forward while she cared for the multiple-colored irises, wide bright sunflower plants, and other colorful bright splashes of nature’s infinite beauty. “You plant a garden because you believe in the future. You punch a hole in the soft dirt with your finger and drop a seed in it because you believe in tomorrow. You can’t see what’s going on under the dirt, but you water what you can’t see, believing that one day you’ll see the fruit of your work.” My dear wonderful Mom was a warm and caring woman, a gentle soul with intense faith and overwhelming love—a woman whose integrity was her trademark, whose only habit was to mix love and truth with honesty, and offered her consejos throughout my life that, now as an adult, I refer to often and still hold close to my heart. I have chosen to honor my Mom and document her teaching in the hope that as they have helped me through difficult times, her wisdom, grace, love, and compassion will be a part of the next generation and they too will witness what faith and trust in God looks like and how important love for family is. I dedicate this book to the first woman I ever loved, my Mom. —El Alto Moreno
