Download or read book Beulah Has a Hunch written by Katie Mazeika and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet Beulah Louise Henry, a girl with a knack for problem-solving who grew up to be a world-famous inventor, in this captivating picture book biography for fans of Just Like Rube Goldberg and The Girl Who Thought in Pictures. Growing up in the 1890s, when Beulah Louise Henry spotted a problem, she had to find a solution, turning it around and around in her mind until…aha! She had a hunch—what she called the inventions she came up with to solve the puzzles she saw all around her. Beulah’s brain worked differently. She had hyperphantasia, which meant she saw things in extreme detail in her mind, as well as synesthesia, which caused words and numbers and even music notes to show up as different colors in her brain. Beulah’s unique way of seeing the world helped her think up vivid solutions to problems—her hunches came to her fully formed with gears whirring and wheels spinning. She invented everything from a new and improved parasol to cuddly stuffed animals and from ice cream makers to factory machinery. Beulah’s inventions improved daily life in lots of ways, earning her the nickname “Lady Edison,” and she became one of the most prolific inventors in American history.

Download or read book My Mother s Dream written by George Henderson and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2024-07-31 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Preface: “The primary audience for this book is first-generation college students. Whether they are in two-year or four-year colleges, I give the readers an example of the power of a parent’s dream, the positive and negative outcomes of a student’s hard work, the stuff caring teachers and supportive school administrators are made of, and the significance of resilience, tenacity, and self-growth. Hopefully, my story will give those who read this book a dose of what stick-to-itiveness means up close and personal…. My foremost message to first-generation and other-generation students is to ask for help when you are stumped, seize whatever opportunities to help you improve, and do your best work. Secondly, this book is written for teachers, school counselors, nurses, and other personnel who help students during their educational journeys. Their assistance can be helpful or hurtful to whatever generation of students they are helping. What they do to students and how they do it matters hugely. Thirdly, this book is written for professional helpers who are not school-related but who want to become better helpers in other careers. Lastly, this book is written for people who are not professional helpers but are curious about the travails and struggles of poverty-stricken people like me and my family…. I have had a long, tedious journey from illiteracy to literacy, from segregation to desegregation, from poverty to affluence, and from disliking people who came from cultures different from my own to loving them. Nonviolent theories and behavior were like a river flowing through my life, slowly during my childhood and adolescence and rapidly after I enrolled in college. The Civil Rights Movement is the name of that river. It was the foremost foundation upon which I built my philosophy of helping other people. So, of course, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was my hero, role model, and guide. His words and strategies of change are generously sprinkled throughout the later chapters of this book….”

Book excerpt: Interrupting the Soria family’s holiday feast, childish teenager Emily requires the hospital emergency room for an apparent attack of appendicitis. But a blunt nurse explains the truth: Emily is giving birth. The seventeen-year-old has tricked her mind and body into believing she isn’t pregnant, when—in a rare but not unheard of occurrence—the baby is full term and already being born. A life-affirming, feel-good story of love, family and the special way new babies can inspire, Making Hearts introduces a character readers will strongly care about and root for.

Praise for MAKING HEARTS: “Wow! I’ve never read a book like this! Totally engrossing, Making Hearts is an absolute tour de force. Jack Getze has done himself proud with this work. I’ve never read a story with an infant as the protagonist and more—an infant who acts proactively against formidable opponents with overpowering advantages and wins out. This is a book of supreme imagination, originality and most of all—heart. I am in complete awe of Getze’s talent displayed supremely in this work. This is the book the cliché—you gotta read this!—was invented for.” —Les Edgerton, author of The Genuine, Imitation, Plastic Kidnapping; Bomb; The Bitch and many others

They both wanted to have children and ease into a simple, unremarkable life of family and academics. After a difficult and what could of have been an expensive conception, she gave birth to their two children, Gloria and David. Since Caleb was a bio chemist, they decided to have him implant "their" fertilized egg into Gwen's womb, a kind of pregnancy D.I.Y. project. It seemed so simple, almost natural, for Caleb to perform the procedure. In a way it brought their family closer, or so it seemed from the outside. After many years of Caleb and Gwen being absorbed in their own worlds of work and children, Caleb left Gwen for someone else. Their daughter, Gloria, began drinking and going wild after the divorce. Gloria's life ended in a drunken car accident, killing a mother and her children. This was the end of her unremarkable life. In a desperate state of grief and guilt, Gwen makes a decision that ends up putting her in a mental hospital. Dr. Jones, her counselor, meets Gwen at the depths of depression and confusion. From the outside, Gwen understandably needs some support through this period in her life. Gwen's time is running out at the mental hospital. Dr. Jones has to have a diagnosis, a verdict on Gwen. She's on the brink of confessing or continuing to live in mayhem. The world will never be the same if she confesses their sins. The Devil's Response blends together the worlds of mythology and technology in one relatable story. This modern science fiction story will have you questioning the role of technology in our most personal decisions. How many decisions do we make only because, "we can"?
Download or read book The World According to Fannie Davis written by Bridgett M. Davis and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2019-01-29 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As seen on the Today Show: This true story of an unforgettable mother, her devoted daughter, and their life in the Detroit numbers of the 1960s and 1970s highlights "the outstanding humanity of black America" (James McBride). In 1958, the very same year that an unknown songwriter named Berry Gordy borrowed $800 to found Motown Records, a pretty young mother from Nashville, Tennessee, borrowed $100 from her brother to run a numbers racket out of her home. That woman was Fannie Davis, Bridgett M. Davis's mother. Part bookie, part banker, mother, wife, and granddaughter of slaves, Fannie ran her numbers business for thirty-four years, doing what it took to survive in a legitimate business that just happened to be illegal. She created a loving, joyful home, sent her children to the best schools, bought them the best clothes, mothered them to the highest standard, and when the tragedy of urban life struck, soldiered on with her stated belief: "Dying is easy. Living takes guts." A daughter's moving homage to an extraordinary parent, The World According to Fannie Davis is also the suspenseful, unforgettable story about the lengths to which a mother will go to "make a way out of no way" and provide a prosperous life for her family -- and how those sacrifices resonate over time.

Rania, the daughter of a wealthy Sudanese Arab, seeks to find the reason for her sister’s sudden disappearance.
