"As comedian and cancer-camp volunteer Jeff Foxworthy notes in this foreword, "Spend some time in the presence of children with cancer and you're never quite the same again." We know they are so much more. In an awe-inspiring photographic essay, art therapist Lisa Murray and photographer Billy Howard portray 25 childhood cancer patients as they express through art and words their feelings about the cancers that threatened them. The authors recently revisited the survivors, some of whom are now young adults embarking on careers and starting families. Angels & Monsters honors the lives of the children it portrays and the lives of other children like them everywhere."--Publisher description.

The first book in the New York Times bestselling epic fantasy trilogy by award-winning author Laini Taylor Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky. In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low. And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherworldly war. Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages--not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out. When one of the strangers--beautiful, haunted Akiva--fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?

The Bible is full of monsters: giants, vengeful spirits, and more. If you read closely, you'll see these monsters aren't God's opponents- they are God's entourage. When we examine these strange creatures for what they are, we see how they validate the human experience, living in a world that is unpredictable, unjust, and at times monstrous.
