All from a Walnut
Author: Ammi-Joan Paquette
Publisher: Abrams
ISBN: 1647000866
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
A moving, multigenerational story about love, family roots, and the cycle of life When Emilia finds a walnut one morning, Grandpa tells her the story behind it: of his journey across the ocean to a new home, with only one small bag and a nut in his pocket. “I planted my little tree in good brown soil, so it would grow strong here forever.” “In this house? In this yard?” “Shall we go see?” Step by step, Grandpa teaches Emilia how to cultivate her own seed. But as her little nut grows, Grandpa begins to slow down—until one sad day, Emilia has to say goodbye. Emilia’s sapling looks as droopy as she feels . . . but she knows just what to do. From acclaimed author and illustrator Ammi-Joan Paquette and Felicita Sala, this tender story is a poignant reminder that the best things grow with time—and that even when they are no longer here, the ones we love are always a part of us.

Publisher: Geoffrey Young
ISBN: 9781930589155
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
This irreverent and amusing collection consists of over 800 "misheard" song lyrics, as compiled by poet Kenneth Goldsmith, "the Napster of the malapropism [who] downloads the poetic genius of the masses as they croon to themselves in their showers"-Christian Bok. Goldsmith's renderings include "classic" misheard lyrics, such as "Inna Gadda Da Vida" ("In my gaudy Adidas baby.) as well as hundreds of others: Bob Marley singing "I shot the sheriff though I swear I was in silky pants," Jon Bon Jovi howling "Thoreau is like Ralph Emerson, Ralph Emerson is what I read." An interesting examination of the potential interpretations of sound and lyric, the book is both intriguing and hilarious, and perfect for anyone who has ever sang "She's givin me head citations." with complete conviction and abandon.
