Not a book for children, but rather a collection of short stories dealing with loss of some kind, (emotional, spiritual, physical), The Children's Corner is a disturbing and thought-provoking, sometimes hilarious look at the human condition. Ranging from morbid to hysterically funny, these rare and occasionally bizarre glimpses into the human heart are deftly crafted jewels that show us the most labyrinthine recesses of the human psyche. McCrae covers a great deal of territory in these remarkable gems, with topics that include everything from family dysfunction, denial, pathological lying, self-mutilation, and failed suicide attempts, to Alzheimer's, infidelity, homophobia, primitive urges, tornadoes, and cross-dressing. The settings for the stories range from the rural to the Midwest, and from New Orleans to the trendy Connecticut town of Westport. All the characters are fallible and distinctive, and McCrae shows us how each and every one of us, no matter who we are or where we live, have angels and demons to wrestle with.

As a new generation of activists demands an end to racism, A Place to Land reflects on Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech and the movement that it galvanized. Winner of the Orbis Pictus Award for Outstanding Nonfiction for Children Selected for the Texas Bluebonnet Master List Much has been written about Martin Luther King, Jr. and the 1963 March on Washington. But there's little on his legendary speech and how he came to write it. Martin Luther King, Jr. was once asked if the hardest part of preaching was knowing where to begin. No, he said. The hardest part is knowing where to end. "It's terrible to be circling up there without a place to land." Finding this place to land was what Martin Luther King, Jr. struggled with, alongside advisors and fellow speech writers, in the Willard Hotel the night before the March on Washington, where he gave his historic "I Have a Dream" speech. But those famous words were never intended to be heard on that day, not even written down for that day, not even once. Barry Wittenstein teams up with legendary illustrator Jerry Pinkney to tell the story of how, against all odds, Martin found his place to land.

El Lissitzky for kids? Ellsworth Kelly? Surprisingly, both artists have designed and created artistss books for small children--or children at heart. This anthology of children's artists' books from the ÓPLA Archive (Oasis for Art Books) in Merano, Italy, is designed like a children's book itself--small in scale, paperback, with strong tear-proof paper. Inside, one finds detailed reproductions of rarely seen books by Keith Haring, John Armleder, Andy Warhol and Bruno Munari, among many others. One particular standout is an exquisite little book by Japanese artist Katsumi Komagata, a colorful, abstract pop-out book with an origami-like design. A special section features color reproductions of artworks and installations by artists such as Joan Miró, Michelangelo Pistoletto and Alighero Boetti.

Beyond the Children's Corner is a practical handbook to help churches become more welcoming to children and families in worship. It encourages PCCs and ministry teams to reflect on the spiritual needs of children, the pastoral needs of families, and how to remove barriers and manage change effectively. Based on multiple training sessions and extensive casework, informed by research by the Church of England’s Life Events team and the Methodist Church, it explores: • The changing needs of modern families; • What tells you it’s time for change; • 'Quick wins’ to make the worship space more welcoming and spiritually imaginative; • Engaging children in spiritually nourishing worship; • Children and contemplative worship – what to do about noise; • Building and sustaining relationships with families and children. Many books on All-Age Worship focus the service itself. Beyond the Children's Corner explores how children and adults can be truly integrated as the church community, covering parents’ perspectives, the church building and the challenge of change as well as what happens in worship.

(Schirmer Performance Editions). Claude Debussy dedicated "Children's Corner" to his daughter, Chou-Chou, when she was three years old. Some of the movements were inspired by her toys. The six lovely pieces expertly presented here by Christopher Harding are an excellent starting point for introducing late-intermediate to early-advanced piano students to impressionism. Includes a special appendix with suggested pedaling, a glossary of French terms, and audio recordings.
