God, are you there? Are you painting the color that sings? Across the sky, over the sea, and brushed by wings? Are you in the wind, the flowers, the light and all I see? What is your rainbow that it sings to me? "God, who are you?" the girl finally asks directly, and because she asks God himself, he answers intently. He says he paints his masterpieces for all to see, color as beautiful promise of love eternally. Captivating illustrations combine with poetic verse to spark a child's understanding of the colorful world around us and the God who created it. Based on the award-winning book Milk and Honey Land: A Story of Grief, Grace, and Goats, Rainbow Land encourages children to fully experience the Great Painter's masterpieces and to recognize the great love still found in rainbows.
First published in 1963, James Baldwin's A Fire Next Time stabbed at the heart of America's so-called ldquo;Negro problemrdquo;. As remarkable for its masterful prose as it is for its uncompromising account of black experience in the United States, it is considered to this day one of the most articulate and influential expressions of 1960s race relations. The book consists of two essays, ldquo;My Dungeon Shook mdash; Letter to my Nephew on the One Hundredth Anniversary of Emancipation,rdquo; and ldquo;Down At The Cross mdash; Letter from a Region of My Mind.rdquo; It weaves thematic threads of love, faith, and family into a candid assault on the hypocrisy of the so-say ldquo;land of the freerdquo;, insisting on the inequality implicit to American society. ldquo;You were born where you were born and faced the future that you facedrdquo;, Baldwin writes to his nephew, ldquo;because you were black and for no other reason.rdquo; His profound sense of injustice is matched by a robust belief in ldquo;monumental dignityrdquo;, in patience, empathy, and the possibility of transforming America into ldquo;what America must become.rdquo;
"Step back into a sweeping landscape of green glades and glaciers where dwarves, frost giants, and ghosts roam and where gods and goddesses work their magic for Middle Earth, sometimes crossing the great rainbow bridge to come to the aid of humans"--Amazon.
