Download or read book Crossover Picturebooks written by Sandra L. Beckett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book situates the picturebook genre within the widespread international phenomenon of crossover literature, examining an international corpus of picturebooks — including artists’ books, wordless picturebooks, and celebrity picturebooks — that appeal to readers of all ages. Focusing on contemporary picturebooks, Sandra Beckett shows that the picturebook has traditionally been seen as a children’s genre, but in the eyes of many authors, illustrators, and publishers, it is a narrative form that can address any and all age groups. Innovative graphics and formats as well as the creative, often complex dialogue between text and image provide multiple levels of meaning and invite readers of all ages to consider texts that are primarily marketed as children’s books. The interplay of text and image that distinguishes the picturebook from other forms of fiction and makes it a unique art form also makes it the ultimate crossover genre. Crossover picturebooks are often very complex texts that are challenging for adults as well as children. Many are characterized by difficult "adult" themes, genre blending, metafictive discourse, intertextuality, sophisticated graphics, and complex text-image interplay. Exciting experiments with new formats and techniques, as well as novel interactions with new media and technologies have made the picturebook one of the most vibrant and innovative contemporary literary genres, one that seems to know no boundaries. Crossover Picturebooks is a valuable addition to the study of a genre that is gaining increasing recognition and appreciation, and contributes significantly to the field of children’s literature as a whole.
Download or read book Promises I Made My Mother written by Sam Haskell and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2009-04-28 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What would my mother say? How would she want me to handle this situation? How can I make this tough decision and stay true to myself? What would my mother say? Sam Haskell still asks himself these questions every day. When Haskell was young, his devoted mother, Mary, instilled in her son the values of character, faith, and honor by setting an example and asking him to promise to live his life according to her lessons. He did, and those promises have served Haskell consistently from his Mississippi boyhood to his long career at the venerable William Morris Agency in Beverly Hills. In this inspiring memoir full of touching stories and amusing anecdotes, Haskell reveals how he kept his pledge to his mother to live a decent life–even in the shark-infested waters of Hollywood, where he handled the hottest stars and packaged the highest-rated shows–by refusing to become the cliché of an amoral agent. Here is Haskell as a child in Amory, Mississippi (pop. 7,000), discovering the power of hope as he waits for an unlikely visit from the “Cheer Man” (a representative of the detergent company who gave ten dollars to anyone using the brand), learning humility after pursuing an eighth-grade “Good Citizenship” award he cockily assumed he’d win, confronting the complications of human character when a near-fatal car crash exposed his judgmental father’s true nature. Years later, in Hollywood, Haskell would rely on his mother’s teachings–honesty, self-reliance, and belief in God–as he swiftly rose from the William Morris mailroom to eventually become the company’s Worldwide Head of Television. His capacity for friendship and his insistence on living his version of the Golden Rule (being “thoughtfully political”) allowed him to handle various client crises and the tense negotiations that nearly scuttled the last years of Everybody Loves Raymond and the entire existence of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Haskell has achieved success through self-respect, and from his story we learn how we, too, can maintain our dignity when faced with life’s challenges. This stirring memoir is a testament to mothers everywhere who instill in their sons the lasting values they need to become good men and devoted fathers.

Download or read book The Investigation of the Homicide of Jesus Christ written by Rich Romano and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-02-10 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After 20 years as a police Sergeant in the New York City Police Department, and seeing the dark side of humanity on a horribly constant basis, the author just didn't know what to believe anymore. Why all the suffering; why all the injustice? What was the meaning of the things he saw? Was there anybody 'up' there directing it all? There just seemed to be no answers, no clarity, no truth to any of it. It haunted his mind and soul. And to top it off, the supposed voices of reason and truth - the teachers, the scholars, the religious leaders, and his well meaning family members, just could not answer these important questions in any logical or straight forward way that he could understand or believe. After his retirement from the force, as fate would have it, he began teaching at a Christian High School. And then it happened - the ex Sergeant was asked a question and given a challenge by one of his disillusioned students: Who was Jesus Christ and was He really the Son of God? The question even went further than that: was there even a God? How ironic that these were the same questions that had forever burned inside him. Now there was no way out; he was finally challenged to investigate it - for himself, and for his students. And so the retired N.Y.P.D. Sergeant began the most important investigation of his life - the Investigation into the homicide of Jesus Christ. In this book are the details of that investigation- in plain language for the every day thinking person. A systematic, analytical, and logical investigation of the very questions that have been present in the minds of men since the dawn of time. In this book, the reader is a member of the jury, and will decide his or her own verdict. It is written not from a religious, scholarly or scientific point of view, but just from the perspective of a man who wanted to investigate the case with no bias, and to let the evidence lead where it may and point to its own logical conclusion. The investigation is presented in a manner that will let the readers decide the matter for themselves, and just maybe, come up with an answer to the questions and doubts that have haunted men throughout the ages. The author, Rich Romano, is also the screenplay writer of the recently released feature film "The Investigator". He is the brother of actor Ray Romano.

Then he disappeared and created a wonderful land for himself and all the other remarkable animals -- the ten-legged Sidewinders, the little furry Flukes, the friendly Whiffle Bird, and the treacherous, "oily" Prock. It was an almost perfect place where the last of the really great Whangdoodles could rule his kingdom with "peace, love and a sense of fun"-- apart from and forgotten by people. But not completely forgotten. Professor Savant believed in the Whangdoodle. And when he told the three Potter children of his search for the spectacular creature, Lindy, Tom, and Ben were eager to reach Whangdoodleland. With the Professor's help, they discovered the secret way. But waiting for them was the scheming Prock, who would use almost any means to keep them away from his beloved king. Only by skill and determination were the four travelers able to discover the last of the really great Whangdoodles and grant him his heart's desire. Julie Andrews Edwards, star of stage and screen, has written a unique and beloved story that has become a modern classic. The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles is sure to continue to delight readers everywhere. This edition includes a new foreword by the author.
