Download or read book Tapestry Tales written by Robert Bramwell-Jones/Kulov and published by Blurb. This book was released on 2017-02-10 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This soft-cover version of Tapestry Tales contains stories that delight and entertain both children and adults alike. With charm and imagination, the adventures in them take the reader to places as far apart as the mountains of Switzerland, the peaks in the Californian desert, and the volcanoes on the islands of Hawaii. Enter an enchanted space "Between-The-Worlds-Of-The-World" where art reigns supreme, children are heroes and art-loving dragons are real. A world where the mystery of a disappearing mosaic is solved, a tapestry escapes destruction by fire, and a magical dress of flowers is saved from being destroyed. THE STORY BEHIND THE BOOK: Tapestry Tales is essentially an art book in the form of a children's story book. It contains art and stories created from 2006 to 2014 for a group of children in The Netherlands and the United States, who are part of the Tante Kulov Art Fund project. As the book's introduction describes in detail, stories were not part of the original project. But after the art intended for the first two children of the art fund goes missing, Robert Bramwell-Jones - the London-based artist commissioned to create the art - writes a whimsical explanation of how it disappears. In the story, he introduces the reoccurring characters of the friendly, art-loving Draga Dragons, who simply love to steal art. Tapestry Tales represents the first phase of the Tante Kulov Art Fund project. During these eight years, the stories get longer and more elaborate. New characters start popping up as well. Of course, each tale revolves around, as well as incorporates, the personality and interests of each of the children in the fund, but the stories are also universal. The theme of the importance and value of art and culture is constant throughout. ART MAKES CHILDREN POWERFUL!
Download or read book American Tapestry written by Rachel L. Swarns and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2012-06-19 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remarkable history of First Lady Michelle Obama’s mixed ancestry, American Tapestry by Rachel L. Swarns is nothing less than a breathtaking and expansive portrait of America itself. In this extraordinary feat of genealogical research—in the tradition of The Hemmingses of Monticello and Slaves in the Family—author Swarns, a respected Washington-based reporter for the New York Times, tells the fascinating and hitherto untold story of Ms. Obama’s black, white, and multiracial ancestors; a history that the First Lady herself did not know. At once epic, provocative, and inspiring, American Tapestry is more than a true family saga; it is an illuminating mirror in which we may all see ourselves.

Cia Anderson hasn’t slept in ten days, but she doesn’t feel one bit tired. She knows that something is up, even if no one but her best friend believes her. Hundreds of pairs of shoes have appeared in her locker, small woodland animals are trailing her, and the only boy she’s ever had a crush on has been quarantined with a mysterious illness. There’s even talk of closing her middle school. Something strange is going on. Cia discovers that she has accidentally upset some fairy tale characters who are trying to find their happily ever afters in the modern world. Desperate to set things right, Cia enlists the help of Cinderella’s stepsister, gets kidnapped by Snow White’s dwarves, and makes a deal that she might regret with the Evil Queen—all while trying to stay one step ahead of the furious princesses who want her dead. Turns out there’s nothing meaner than a fairy tale character who can’t find her prince charming.

Download or read book Scatterlings a Tapestry of Afri Expat Tales written by Eve Hemming and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-06-26 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving country remains the hugest thing weve ever experienced/ accomplished/ drowned in. Its an act of seemingly utter insanity, which negates all ones most primal connections to the cosmos. I find myself quoting Keats more often, Happiness is sharpened by its antithetical elements. Experiencing a new chapter of life is life-altering and isnt given enough credence. Each day we are grateful to taste a figuratively different menu, yet simultaneously we miss the staple diet stemming from our roots. I recall emailing a psychologist colleague of mine a few months after my arrival here, Am I experiencing a schism of the self? I asked. She replied, No, just re-inventing the self. I kept that pinned on my notice board at work for the first year to reflect on. _______________________________________________________________ Scatterlings Synopsis The book kicks off with the author's innocent and carefree childhood growing up on a farm in South Africa, my awakening (conscientising into an awareness that all is not right, being born into an apartheid era), life in SA and the epiphany to immigrate to NZ. The chapter Bouncing off Planet Africa' encompasses the grieving and healing process of migration. This section should be extremely beneficial to all migrants as part of the adaptation and acculturisaton process. The Scatterling tapestry chapters follow with migrants stories of their passion, pain, love - and hate - of Africa. For this section a remarkable cross section of stories; people of various cultural backgrounds and groups from Southern Africa including: cross cultural marriages; gay marriages; the lobola story between a Zulu woman and an American man; people who were marginalised and affected by apartheid, or survived the war in Zimbabwe, etc., plus Afri-expat tales from places such as Peru, USA, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kenya, Zimbabwe, UK, Oz and NZ have been gathered and incorporated. There is a section with contributions, including a Somali Refugee, a rootless African American (due to slavery) and people of colour uprooted in South Africa due to the apartheid areas act. Expats talk about hurdles and obstacles regarding migration, and about the wonderful sense of freedom from the shackles of apartheid and from fear, violence and criminality. They also offer some tips and advice to wannabes, while others hanker for home so much and return to face the challenges of a violent land. The contributors echo the same parallel threads, yet different and unique, each through their own personal lens. A short chapter offers children the opportunity to share their stories in Out the Mouths of Babes, which is both insightful and humorous. An historical/political time line follows from Khoi Khoi to current with articles and information, demographics and some statistics covering the establishment of humanity in the ancient continent; the conflicts, the horrors of apartheid and current exasperation due to ongoing heinous crime, stress, corruption and structural disintegration, juxtaposed against optimism and hope. Articles (all with the authors blessings) are included by well know South African writers, politicians, projectionists and figure heads, the likes of Helen Zille, Clem Sunter, Max du Preez and several young emerging African columnists the likes of Mabaso, Mtimkulu and Shuudi.) There is a section on migrants poetry, followed by Southern African recipes and food tales as immigrants identify with food as part of the cultural adaptation and period of grieving. A short existential epilogue concludes the book.
