Winner of the Randolph Caldecott Medal and the Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award! Jean-Michel Basquiat and his unique, collage-style paintings rocketed to fame in the 1980s as a cultural phenomenon unlike anything the art world had ever seen. But before that, he was a little boy who saw art everywhere: in poetry books and museums, in games and in the words that we speak, and in the pulsing energy of New York City. Now, award-winning illustrator Javaka Steptoe's vivid text and bold artwork echoing Basquiat's own introduce young readers to the powerful message that art doesn't always have to be neat or clean—and definitely not inside the lines!—to be beautiful.
This book is about spiritual awakening and the evolution of human consciousness. It's about raising the consciousness of individuals as they heal from prenatal wounding and join collectively with others, thus raising the consciousness of Planet Earth. This work is about saving the Planet. Though generally unknown to most people, prenatal wounding affects millions. Currently, there are few therapists who have the knowledge and expertise to diagnose and heal this condition. There are a few situations that can create prenatal wounding, including unexpected pregnancy and parental stress. Prenatal wounding often manifests as a lifetime of anxiety, depression, and a death wish. Early detection and treatment can spare a child or adult from years of suffering. This book shows us how to heal prenatal wounding in adults, and how to prevent prenatal wounding in babies. Dr. Wesch uses heartfelt case studies to illustrate the damage of prenatal wounding and the joy found it its healing. She also shows us how parents and loved ones can work directly with babies in the womb, filling the womb with Divine Light so the babies are surrounded with the energy of Divine Love. These babies never lose their connection with the divine and are born radiant. This book provides a spiritual approach to pregnancy. Every baby growing within a mother's womb has both a tiny human body and a magnificent, timeless soul. Bringing a precious baby into the world is a sacred event. Many ancient cultures had spiritual rituals designed to honor the soul of the incoming baby. Sadly, in our modern culture, we are no longer attentive to the souls of our incoming babies. The Radiant Baby Method taught in this book shows us how to once again honor the souls of our babies.
Provides step-by-step instructions for twelve patchwork projects, along with an inspirational gallery of block designs, and includes techniques for making half square triangle blocks and combining them with complementary pieced blocks.
The bestselling author of The Kind Diet offers practical solutions for a healthier, more vibrant approach to new motherhood When did making babies get to be so hard? Infertility is on the rise globally, affecting as many as one in six couples. But instead of looking at diet and lifestyle as key factors, doctors are racing to pump their patients full of expensive and invasive fertility treatments. Once pregnant, women just accept that carrying a baby will be the gassy, swollen, irritable, sleepless nightmare that has become the new normal. Once their babies are born, they assume it will be just as challenging—from breastfeeding woes to screaming fits and constant trips to the doctor. It doesn’t have to be that way. In The Kind Mama, Alicia Silverstone shows that if we kick nasty foods that fight our bodies and replace them with nutrient-rocking “clean” foods that heal and nourish, we can create a more positive baby-making experience, from conception through the third trimester (and beyond). By encouraging basic diet and lifestyle modifications and drawing on wisdom from medical experts, friends, and her own experience, Silverstone has created a one-stop guide that empowers women to take charge of their fertility and pregnancy, and helps them to embark on a healthier, more vibrant path to parenthood.

“It never occurred to me while growing up that art is an industry involving countless jobs, so if this book helps shed light to just one kid that it is a viable career option, then it has done its job, as art is indescribably important!” —Oliver Jeffers, Artist and Illustrator “This book so beautifully explains to kids what goes into making an art exhibition. It’s not just about an artist hanging something on a wall for people to see: it’s so much more lively, layered, and community-driven. Even I learned a ton about what truly goes into a fantastic art show!” —Joy Cho, Author and Founder of Oh Joy! “I wish I’d had this book when I was a kid! I always wanted my art to be in a big museum one day but, growing up in a small town, that just seemed impossible. Making a Great Exhibition is a beautifully illustrated behind-the-scenes peek at exactly how art makes its way from an artist’s mind to the big white walls of a fancy gallery. Turns out, there are a lot of people, with some very cool jobs, who make the magic happen—and any book that shows kids (and parents!) they can grow up to have a career in the arts is okay by me!” —Danielle Krysa, The Jealous Curator An exciting insight into the workings of artists and museums, Making a Great Exhibition is a colorful and playful introduction geared to children ages 3-7 How does an artist make a sculpture or a painting? What tools do they use? What happens to the artwork next? This fun, inside look at the life of an artwork shows the journey of two artists’ work from studio to exhibition. Stopping along the way we meet colorful characters—curators, photographers, shippers, museum visitors, and more!
