There's a world of adventure in Lucy's backyard, once she learns how to look at it. On a day without friends and activities, Lucy reluctantly heads to her backyard, where her curiosity takes hold and her vivid imagination is stoked. She discovers a busy world, makes some unexpected friends, and learns that Nature is anything but quiet. Lucy's Quiet Day, by Lisa Sirkis Thompson, author of Lucy's Mask, helps kids understand that alone time can be fun. In a hectic society, when kids are increasingly involved in programmed activities, it's important for them to learn that quiet days can be satisfying. And in a crisis like the pandemic, when quarantine suddenly forces quiet days on everyone, these skills are more important than ever. Unstructured time has been shown to help build resilience, creativity and confidence in kids, and helps them work through real world problems. Quiet days outdoors can help kids make connections with Nature. Lucy's Quiet Day is a story that parents, grandparents and teachers can use to gently bring this positive message to reading time.

'Here, even if I had a thousand dollar in my pocket, I know of no sight which could arouse in me the feeling of ecstasy' Looking back to Henry Miller's bohemian life in 1930s Paris, when he was an obscure, penniless writer, Quiet Days in Clichy is a love letter to a city. As he describes nocturnal wanderings through shabby Montmartre streets, cafés and bars, sexual liaisons and volatile love affairs, Miller brilliantly evokes a period that would shape his entire life and oeuvre. 'His writing is flamboyant, torrential, chaotic, treacherous, and dangerous' Anaïs Nin
