Book excerpt: Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor tells her own story for young readers for the very first time! As the first Latina Supreme Court Justice, Sonia Sotomayor has inspired young people around the world to reach for their dreams. But what inspired her? For young Sonia, the answer was books! They were her mirrors, her maps, her friends, and her teachers. They helped her to connect with her family in New York and in Puerto Rico, to deal with her diabetes diagnosis, to cope with her father's death, to uncover the secrets of the world, and to dream of a future for herself in which anything was possible. In Turning Pages, Justice Sotomayor shares that love of books with a new generation of readers, and inspires them to read and puzzle and dream for themselves. Accompanied by Lulu Delacre's vibrant art, this story of the Justice's life shows readers that the world is full of promise and possibility--all they need to do is turn the page.

Download or read book The Book of Jakarta written by utiuts and published by Comma Press. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young woman takes a driverless taxi through the streets of Jakarta, only to discover that the destination she is hurtling towards is now entirely submerged... A group of elderly women visit a famous amusement park for one last ride, but things don’t go quite according to plan... The day before her wedding, a bride risks everything to meet her former lover at their favourite seafood restaurant on the other side of the tracks... Despite being the world’s fourth largest nation – made up of over 17,000 islands – very little of Indonesian history and contemporary politics are known to outsiders. From feudal states and sultanates to a Cold War killing field and a now struggling, flawed democracy – the country’s political history, as well as its literature, defies easy explanation. Like Indonesia itself, the capital city Jakarta is a multiplicity; irreducible, unpredictable and full of surprises. Traversing the different neighbourhoods and districts, the stories gathered here attempt to capture the essence of contemporary Jakarta and its writing, as well as the ever-changing landscape of the fastest-sinking city in the world. Translated by Mikael Johani, Zoe McLaughlin, Shaffira Gayatri, Khairani Barokka, Daniel Owen, Paul Agusta, Eliza Vitri Handayani, Syarafina Vidyadhana, Rara Rizal and Annie Tucker.

Download or read book Best Old Folks Jokes and Funny Stories Ever written by Midealuck Publishing and published by . This book was released on 2023-11-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An elderly man visited the doctor for a checkup. "Mr. Jones, you're in great shape," said the doctor. "How do you do it?" "Well," said Mr. Jones, "I don't drink, I don't smoke, and the good Lord looks out for me. For weeks now, every time I go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, he turns the light on for me." Concerned, the doctor finds Mrs. Jones in the waiting room and tells her what her husband said. "I don't think that's anything to worry about," she said. "And on the bright side, it does explain who's been peeing into the fridge at night." Good stories and funny jokes never go away. However, times have changed, and when someone smiles at you, it doesn't have to be pity, but it probably is. Why not march towards the sunset, and have a little fun along the way, whether it's with grandma in bed (pun intended) or with a funny book. The Doctor said a lot of nonsense, but he was probably right in saying that laughter is the best medicine. So why not chuckle along with everyone else who is growing older, a little laughter can go a long way in accepting the inevitable with gratitude and grace.
