Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is author/photographer Tracy Leshay's debut book about sharing. Written in rhyme, we hear Phoebe tell her humorous taking-turns-tale of woe. Determined to get along with her little sister Audrey, Phoebe follows the advice of a helpful fairy. It is a mean-hot summer though, and temperatures and tempers are running high. Phoebe will need more than a day to make Audrey share. Time will pass - seasons will change, and until Phoebe and Audrey do magically share, SHE YELLED. I SCREAMED...SHE PULLED MY HAIR! In the end, this universal story gets to the heart of how one learns to share. If you want a turn with the teapot, the car, or the bike, persistence, politeness, and patience will be key. A print series of Tracy Leshay's daughter's hair inspired this modern-day fairy tale. Leshay's words provide a learning to share tool, but her 35mm pictures create a unique art-book experience. Phoebe and Audrey resemble your friends - real with real issues - ones that every child experiences. The visuals make the story enjoyable to eyes of all ages, while the topic and the telling make it just perfect for those ages 3-8.

Download or read book Fairy Tales Reimagined written by Susan Redington Bobby and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although readers and filmgoers are strongly familiar with Disney's sanitized child-centric fairy tales, they are quick to catch on to reworkings of classic tales into a contemporary context. The rise is such retellings seems to indicate that readers are hungry for a new narrative, one that hearkens back to the old yet moves the storyline forward to reflect conditions of the modern world. No mere escapist fantasies, the reimagined fairy tales of the late 20th and early 21st centuries reflect social, political and cultural truths. Sixteen essays consider fairy tales recreated through short stories, novels, poetry, and the graphic novel from both best-selling and lesser-known writers, applying a variety of perspectives, including postmodernism, psychoanalysis, Marxism, feminism, queer theory and gender studies. Along with the classic fairy tales, fiction from writers such as Neil Gaiman (Stardust) and Gregory Macquire (Wicked) is covered.
Download or read book Politically Animated written by Jennifer Nagtegaal and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2023-10-12 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Politically Animated studies the convergence of animation and actuality within films, television series, and digital shorts from across the Spanish-speaking world. It interrogates the many ways in which animation as a stylistic tool and storytelling device participates in political projects underpinning an array of non-fiction works. The case studies in the book cover a diverse geographical scope, including Spain, Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico. They critically analyse different works such as feature-length animated documentary films, a work of animated journalism, a short animated essay, and micro-short episodes from a televised animated documentary series. Jennifer Nagtegaal employs the term "politically animated" in reference to the ideological implications of choosing specific techniques and styles of animation within certain socio-historical and cultural contexts. Nagtegaal illuminates the creative union of animated documentary and the comics medium currently being exploited by Spanish and Latin American cartoonists and filmmakers alike. By paying particular attention to cultural production beyond the big screen, Politically Animated continues to stretch the bounds of animated documentary scholarship.
