Mike believes that Mary Anne can dig as much in a day as one hundred men can dig in a week, and the two have one last chance to prove it and save Mary Anne from the scrap heap. What happens next in the small town of Popperville is a testament to their friendship, and to old-fashioned hard work and ingenuity.
Download or read book My Name is Bertha written by Fran Lewis and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2007-11-29 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bronx Times Reporter News: February 21, 2008 LOCAL AUTHOR TEACHES TOLERANCE THROUGH KIDS' BOOK by Jeni Asaba My Name is Bertha is a story of hope for all children living with differences that make them victims of criticism and outcasts among their peers. Bertha is a young girl who feels misunderstood by society. Her heavy stature and awkward, uncoordinated movements made her feel like an outcast among her peers, while her own family deemed her different. The fictional children's book is a compilation of stories based on past encounters and events the author, Fran Lewis, experienced during her own childhood growing up in the Bronx . Lewis hopes to use My Name is Bertha as a mode of encouragement for those children whose weak self image is limiting their happiness and personal growth. “Children today have to know that they can achieve anything they want and no one should try to stop them from reaching their goals and dreams,” Lewis said. As a young girl growing up in the south Bronx , Lewis said she always felt excluded, an outsider in her own community. Through My Name is Bertha, Lewis teaches that as long as people recognize and believe in their own personal strengths, there is and always will be light at the end of the tunnel. “Not everyone is born athletic, beautiful, thin or a genius,” Lewis said, “but everyone is born good in something, whether it is running track, playing board games or drawing. Who you are is what makes you special.” Working as a reading and writing staff developer at P.S. 78, at 1400 Needham Avenue , for 36 years, Lewis said it was a real joy to see young children learn from reading. Now, through her book, she's proud to provide youth with the encouragement she never received. “Children are entitled to make mistakes,” Lewis said. “There are erasers on the end of pencils for a reason.” In a series of notes from 10-year-old Bertha, she tells her stories of struggle and despair - specific instances of humiliation that created the feelings of rejection she would spend many years fighting to overcome. In the note titled “Bertha Goes Bowling,” she shares an embarrassing tale about a family outing at Southern Boulevard Lanes. Not having good physical coordination, Bertha detested all sports activities. But even still she couldn't ignore the daunting persistence of her father's voice urging her to simply try. The book reads, “As I started to wind up, I guess I thought I could throw it harder if I used my punch ball skills to get some momentum on the ball. I bent over and heard a ripping noise. My pants split down the middle because they were too tight and I bent over too far.” After her mother did a quick fix tying her sweater around Bertha's waist, the encouragement for one more try continued. It continued, “I walked back up to the edge of the lane and wound up my right arm and threw the ball straight across my body three lanes to the left and got a strike for the man on that lane. He just looked at me in horror while everyone else just started to stare at me or laugh.” Bertha returned to her apartment on Southern Boulevard and Tremont Avenue , feeling sad and once again, different. While it took her a while to realize that it was her differences that made her special, Bertha now proudly shares some advice with her young readers. Concluding her stories Bertha said, “Stay strong and think positive about yourself. I am learning to do that and so can you.” Lewis is currently contacting literary agents to publish her second book Bertha Speaks Out. My Name is Bertha is available at all major bookstores.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Claude Ponti’s nimble wordplay and punning, combined with his phantasmagorical and joyful illustrations, create an endearing gem of a book, bound to be a bedtime story favorite. From one of the world’s most beloved children’s book authors comes a story of a high-spirited flock of friends building an unusual birthday cake. A rabble of soft, golden “chicklets” are awoken one morning to a startling proclamation: they only have ten short days to prepare for their best friend Bertha Daye’s party. It’s time to get to work building a larger-than-life castle cake to house and feed the revelers. Made of chocolate scooped out of chocolate mines, “finer than fairy dust” flour from the hillsides, and fruit carried down twigs and stems in the forest, this will be the best—and kookiest—cake of all time. Oodles of distinctive chicklets fill every page, scurrying, fluttering, napping, tumbling, helping, and getting up to no good. When the party day arrives, guests pour into the pastry palace, many of them unmistakable characters from iconic stories’ past, offering a marvelous who’s-who of story-book history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The geopolitics of empire had already prepared me for this...coloniality constructs outsides and insides—worlds to be chosen, disturbed, interpreted, and navigated—in order to live something like a real self. Internationally acclaimed poet and novelist Dionne Brand reflects on her early reading of colonial literature and how it makes Black being inanimate. She explores her encounters with colonial, imperialist, and racist tropes; the ways that practices of reading and writing are shaped by those narrative structures; and the challenges of writing a narrative of Black life that attends to its own expression and its own consciousness.

Download or read book Too Much written by Rachel Vorona Cote and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lacing cultural criticism, Victorian literature, and storytelling together, "TOO MUCH spills over: with intellect, with sparkling prose, and with the brainy arguments of Vorona Cote, who posits that women are all, in some way or another, still susceptible to being called too much." (Esmé Weijun Wang) A weeping woman is a monster. So too is a fat woman, a horny woman, a woman shrieking with laughter. Women who are one or more of these things have heard, or perhaps simply intuited, that we are repugnantly excessive, that we have taken illicit liberties to feel or fuck or eat with abandon. After bellowing like a barn animal in orgasm, hoovering a plate of mashed potatoes, or spraying out spit in the heat of expostulation, we've flinched-ugh, that was so gross. I am so gross. On rare occasions, we might revel in our excess--belting out anthems with our friends over karaoke, perhaps--but in the company of less sympathetic souls, our uncertainty always returns. A woman who is Too Much is a woman who reacts to the world with ardent intensity is a woman familiar to lashes of shame and disapproval, from within as well as without. Written in the tradition of Shrill, Dead Girls, Sex Object and other frank books about the female gaze, TOO MUCH encourages women to reconsider the beauty of their excesses-emotional, physical, and spiritual. Rachel Vorona Cote braids cultural criticism, theory, and storytelling together in her exploration of how culture grinds away our bodies, souls, and sexualities, forcing us into smaller lives than we desire. An erstwhile Victorian scholar, she sees many parallels between that era's fixation on women's "hysterical" behavior and our modern policing of the same; in the space of her writing, you're as likely to encounter Jane Eyre and Lizzie Bennet as you are Britney Spears and Lana Del Rey. This book will tell the story of how women, from then and now, have learned to draw power from their reservoirs of feeling, all that makes us "Too Much."
