Download or read book Hana s Suitcase written by Karen Levine and published by Second Story Press. This book was released on 2002-08-07 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New edition with foreword by Nobel Peace Prize winner Desmond Tutu: “How extraordinary that this humble suitcase has enabled children all over the world to learn through Hana’s story the terrible history of what happened and that it continues to urge them to heed the warnings of history.” In the spring of 2000, Fumiko Ishioka, the curator of a small Holocaust education centre for children in Tokyo, received a very special shipment for an exhibit she was planning. She had asked the curators at the Auschwitz museum if she could borrow some artifacts connected to the experience of children at the camp. Among the items she received was an empty suitcase. From the moment she saw it, Fumiko was captivated by the writing on the outside that identified its owner – Hana Brady, May 16, 1931, Waisenkind (the German word for orphan). Children visiting the centre were full of questions. Who was Hana Brady? Where did she come from? What was she like? How did Hana become an orphan? What happened to her? Fueled by the children’s curiosity and her own need to know, Fumiko began a year of detective work, scouring the world for clues to the story of Hana Brady. Writer Karen Levine follows Fumiko in her search through history, from present-day Japan, Europe and North America back to 1938 Czechoslovakia and the young Hana Brady, a fun-loving child with a passion for ice skating. Together with Fumiko, we learn of Hana’s loving parents and older brother, George, and discover how the family’s happy life in a small town was turned upside down by the invasion of the Nazis. Based on an award-winning CBC documentary, Hana’s Suitcase takes the reader on an incredible journey full of mystery and memories, which come to life through the perspectives of Fumiko, Hana and later Hana’s brother, who now lives in Canada. Photographs and original wartime documents enhance this extraordinary story that bridges cultures, generations and time. Ideal for young readers aged 9 and up. Hana’s Suitcase is part of the award-winning Holocaust Remembrance Series for Young Readers.

Download or read book Small Broke and Kind of Dirty written by Hana Shafi and published by Salon. This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let's get one thing straight: Small, Broke, and Kind of Dirty: Affirmations for the Real World is not a book of advice. You're not going to find a step-by-step guide to meditation here, or even reminders to drink lots of water and get enough sleep. Those things are all good for you, but that's not what Hana Shafi wants to talk about. Instead, Small, Broke, and Kind of Dirty--built around art from Shafi's popular online affirmation series--focuses on our common and never-ending journey of self-discovery. It explores the ways in which the world can all too often wear us down, and reminds us to remember our worth, even when it's hard to do so. Drawing on her experience as a millennial woman of colour, and writing with humour and a healthy dose of irreverence, Shafi delves into body politics and pop culture, racism and feminism, friendship, and allyship. Through it all, she remains positive without being saccharine, and hopeful without being naive. So no, this is not an advice book: it's a call to action, one that asks us to remember that we are valid as we are--flaws and all--and to not let the bastards grind us down.

Download or read book The Land of Hana written by Amanda H. Podany and published by Eisenbrauns. This book was released on 2002 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hana was a Syrian kingdom located in the Middle Euphrates region north of Mari, which included the ancient city of Terqa. Hana is known only from a few dozen texts, but those texts are dated to the reigns of between nineteen and twenty-one kings. There is no king-list that includes the kings of Hana and the kingdom almost never is mentioned in documents from other cities and kingdoms. Nevertheless, Hana seems to have been one of the few kingdoms that thrived in the sixteenth century B.C.E., an era that is poorly understood. In this volume Dr. Prodany demonstrates how the kings of Hana can be placed in sequence and assigned approximate dates, based on typologies of the main features of a group of texts that make up the majority of the corpus - contracts for the purchase, bequest, and inheritance of real estate.

Download or read book Hana s Birthday Gift written by Mary Priya Michael and published by Clever Fox Publishing. This book was released on 2022-11-12 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Hana’s Birthday Gift” is a story book for children focusing on the importance of sowing seeds of interest in kids. The story revolves around the routine of a 5 years old kid and how her mother (Maria) consciously makes her child (Hana) involved in different activities like colouring, music, reading/listening to stories, which moulds and makes her to be her highest self. It aims at promoting reading habits among children in an era where screen time has become inevitable. It emphasises on conscious parenting where children are enabled and given the opportunity to explore and become who they are created to be. Maria always helps Hana try different activities that she could enjoy while learning. However, the choice was Hana’s. It can lead to what she will be passionate doing. Or become an enthusiast knowing about this world that exists. Hana is looking forward to her birthday where she is excited to know what her mother would gift. The story is about what would be Hana’s Birthday gift when she turns 6. I have collaborated with an Italian artist to specifically use his childhood paintings inside the book to kindle and inspire the interest of the young reader. The story also unravels how his paintings are connected with the Birthday Gift planned by Maria for Hana. A Fronteversismo® painting is used as the cover page of the book along with several of his paintings done as a child. Fronteversismo®, is an Italian neologism that could be translated with “backandfrontism”, is a term that tries to enclose his new and original way of addressing painting, thinking and cultural life in general in view of a better world of peace.
