A Hopeful Heart: Louisa May Alcott Before Little Women
How did Little Women-- the beloved literary classic and inspiration for Greta Gerwig's acclaimed feature film adaptation--come to be? This stunning biography explores the unique family and unusual circumstances of literary icon Louisa May Alcott. Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. How did these cherished characters come to be? Louisa May Alcott, the author of one of the most famous 'girl' books of all time, was anything but a well-mannered young lady. A tomboy as well as a ravenous reader, Louisa took comfort in fictional characters that were as passionate and willful as she was--and whose wild imaginations were a match for her own. She was often found roaming the woods near her home in Concord, Massachusetts, or exploring the natural world in the company of the great Transcendentalist thinkers Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. Here is a beautiful portrait of Louisa May Alcott, a woman influenced by her father, a penniless philosopher, her mother, with whom she shared a great connection, and, of course, her three sisters. Deborah Noyes unveils how Louisa's natural spirit, loving family, and unconventional circumstances inspired the timeless masterpiece that is Little Women.

Whose Right Is It?: The Second Amendment and the Fight Over Guns
Discover the truth about the Second Amendment, the NRA, and the United States' centuries-long fight over guns in this first-of-its-kind book for middle grade listeners. For the majority of the United States' history, the right to own a gun belonged to a 'well regulated militia.' That changed in 2008 with the historic District of Columbia v. Heller case, which ruled that the Second Amendment protected an individual's right. In the years since, the debate over gun legislation has reached a crescendo. And the issue grows ever relevant to children across America, with an estimated three million exposed to shootings every year. From metal detectors to see-through backpacks to shooting drills, kids face daily reminders of the threat of guns. Hana Bajramovic's Whose Right Is It?: The Second Amendment and the Fight Over Guns reveals how a once obscure amendment became the focus of daily heated debate. The book will show young listeners how gun legislation has always been a part of American history and how money, power, and race have long dictated our ability to own guns.

Una bellissima raccolta di poesie per bambini e ragazzi. Ecco un esempio: Un bel giorno una sardina a nuotare se ne stava. Signor polpo se ne accorse, lesto le si avvicinava. "Dove vai, mia sardinella?" Tosto lui le domandò. Lei, che era molto furba, senza un fiato lo lasciò. Ma il polpo si era accorto che lei s'era dileguata, e girando per lo scoglio, ecco che lui l'ha acciuffata. "Oh, buongiorno! io ti ho detto." Signor polpo prese a dire. La sardina per timore facea finta a non sentire. Poi di colpo fece un balzo: no, parlare non voleva! Si rimise giù, a nuotare: già quel polpo conosceva. Sa che è molto impertinente e gli piace disturbare. Come incontra un po' di gente non c'è gusto più a nuotare. Signor polpo è rassegnato: sulla roccia si sdraiò, e stringendo le otto zampe ecco che si addormentò. Lui lo sa che è un po' scocciante, che sta tutti a disturbare. Le parole sono tante, impedisce di nuotare. Sol per questo la sardina lì da solo lo ha lasUna bellissima raccolta di poesie per bambini e ragazzi.
