Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overcoming Love in Wonderland is a humorous Alice in Wonderland store for women who love too much. It’s a story of self discovery as BreAnna tries to leave a bad relationship and emotional heal. Held captive in her obsession to save Michael, BreAnna, a whimsical woman of 28, awakens after a car accident to find she’s in a strange hospital room with a woman caregiver called the White Jacket. The white Jacket learns of BreAnna’s painful and unrequited love for Michael (a diabetic pharmacist) and tries to help BreAnna by giving her a book entitled “Women Who Love Too Much.” Can the book help her to see things more clearly? Will it release her from her love and need to save Michael? While recovering, BreAnna meets the Purple-haired woman, a chain-smoking antagonist, snooping through her clothes. The purple-haired woman evilly informs BreAnna where she really is, a quirky mental hospital. The purple-haired woman introduces BreAnna to the other zany patients by their nicknames: Trixie, a teenage prankster who plays with the lights; Antsy, an anxious woman with two ants on her butt named Skeetzo and Frenik; Spits, a high fashion/pretentious model with a lisp; PJ a playful old woman who wears pajamas; Nev, a young girl spellbound to a TV that doesn’t work; Nympho, a large woman who’s obsessed with "farting;” The “Devil,” a ghostly child who cries in the closets; Thumper, a woman who beats her head against walls; and the Caregiver, nicknamed the "Strait jacket,” a woman who restrains her patients in an effort to restore order in their dysfunctional world. After meeting her fellow patients, BreAnna becomes overwhelmed by their insanity and decides to take the advice of the purple-haired woman and use drugs to mask her pain. Can BreAnna find the strength and courage to separate herself from their craziness before it’s too late? Or will their madness envelope her, keeping her a prisoner of love in wonderland? Overcoming Love in Wonderland is dedicated to my beloved Mom and Dad and for all women and men who love too much.

Download or read book Tomas and the Library Lady written by Pat Mora and published by Knopf Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Common Core Exemplar Text by an award-winning author-illustrator team Tomás is a son of migrant workers. Every summer he and his family follow the crops north from Texas to Iowa, spending long, arduous days in the fields. At night they gather around to hear Grandfather's wonderful stories. But before long, Tomás knows all the stories by heart. "There are more stories in the library,"Papa Grande tells him. The very next day, Tomás meets the library lady and a whole new world opens up for him. Based on the true story of the Mexican-American author and educator Tomás Rivera, a child of migrant workers who went on to become the first minority Chancellor in the University of California system, this inspirational story suggests what libraries--and education--can make possible. Raul Colón's warm, expressive paintings perfectly interweave the harsh realities of Tomás's life, the joyful imaginings he finds in books, and his special relationships with a wise grandfather and a caring librarian. "A gentle text and innovative artwork. . . . While young readers and future librarians will find this an inspiring tale, the end note gives it a real kick: the story is based on an actual migrant worker [Tomás Rivera] who became chancellor of a university--where the library now bears his name."--Publishers Weekly

That's how long Coyote and her dad, Rodeo, have lived on the road in an old school bus, criss-crossing the nation. It's also how long ago Coyote lost her mom and two sisters in a car crash. Coyote hasn’t been home in all that time, but when she learns that the park in her old neighborhood is being demolished—the very same park where she, her mom, and her sisters buried a treasured memory box—she devises an elaborate plan to get her dad to drive 3,600 miles back to Washington state in four days...without him realizing it. Along the way, they'll pick up a strange crew of misfit travelers. Lester has a lady love to meet. Salvador and his mom are looking to start over. Val needs a safe place to be herself. And then there's Gladys... Over the course of thousands of miles, Coyote will learn that going home can sometimes be the hardest journey of all...but that with friends by her side, she just might be able to turn her “once upon a time” into a “happily ever after.” This title has common core connections.

White Read Aloud Award It started the summer of 2002, when the Springfield librarian, Molly McGrew, by mistake drove her bookmobile into the zoo. In this rollicking rhymed story, Molly introduces birds and beasts to this new something called reading. She finds the perfect book for every animal—tall books for giraffes, tiny ones for crickets. “She even found waterproof books for the otter, who never went swimming without Harry Potter.” In no time at all, Molly has them “forsaking their niches, their nests, and their nooks,” going “wild, simply wild, about wonderful books.” Judy Sierra’s funny animal tale coupled with Marc Brown’s lush, fanciful paintings will have the same effect on young Homo sapiens. Altogether, it’s more fun than a barrel of monkeys!
