DOWNLOAD EBOOK“Themes of community, creativity, and craft are at the heart of this book about a family preparing for a grandmother’s birthday celebration.” —School Library Journal This lyrical picture book from beloved creator Nikki McClure follows a family through one day and muses in the possibilities that one day holds—from enjoying treats at the bakery, to admiring handmade goods from local artisan shops, to observing the new construction in town. Illuminating themes of community, creativity, and collaboration, What Will These Hands Make? dares the reader to dream up everything they can be and all the ways they can leave their little corner of the world better than they found it. “Capitalized headers boldly ask “WILL THESE HANDS MAKE,” with possibilities unfurling in lyrical, lucid verse beneath. Awe-inspiring double-page spreads show a busy town from multiple, miraculous perspectives . . . Extraordinary artwork inspires young people to use their hearts and hands.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “This celebration of citizenry and craft is a poignant reminder of the objects and places that makers weave . . . The book’s appeal spans a wide range: younger readers will enjoy the seek-and-find aspect, and older readers may find inspiration in its vision of daily life and communal innovation.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Careful viewers will be delighted to find scenes revisited in closer detail and from different vantage points . . . The clever bookmaking technique, which moves between the busy scene and its individual sections, produces the joy of a shared experience in which all hands combine.” —Booklist

With These Hands is a unique and valuable documentary work that skillfully presents the voices of laborers and others, helping us to understand our connection to the world of America's farmworkers."—Studs Terkel

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBeginning with Native American women, this volume traces the history of farm women of all races in the United States. The complex working lives of rural women -- European immigrants, black slaves and then farmers, Hispanic women in the new border states -- emerge through letters, songs, fiction, official documents, journal entries, poetry, and oral history. The texts testify to women's love of the land, to their consciousness of racism and sexism, and to their energies for social change.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. The late Terence Reese, perhaps the greatest bridge writer of all time, introduced the 'over-the-shoulder' style of bridge writing in his classic book Play These Hands With Me. Now in a wry homage to the master, Mark Horton leads the reader through a plausibly logical line of play on each instructive deal--but it is a line of play that ends in failure. In each post-mortem, the 'expert' realizes how he could have improved on his play and how he (usually) could have made his contract. The deals are all from top-class events, which prove to be remarkably fertile sources of such material. Read on for a book filled with subtle humor and great bridge."--Back cover.
