A contemporary Erma Bombeck extols the highs and lows of parenting When Dallas Louis decided that all she wanted in life was to meet and marry her Prince Charming and become a mother, she had no idea what was in store for her. But she would soon find out. After only seven months of dating, she married the love of her life, and within the course of twenty-six months, she gave birth to three children. Her husband knew her longer pregnant than not pregnant! In this hilarious book, Dallas shares highlights of what happened in her world once she and her husband, Jeff, brought home three kids in a time span that was barely long enough to build a house, let alone long enough to build three humans. She would like readers to find comfort in knowing that they aren't the only ones suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome or buyer's remorse. And, yes, it's okay to admit that both of those conditions apply to parenting, though hopefully not all the time. Channeling Erma Bombeck, Dallas will tell you all the things your friends will not and the things the other books are too afraid to print. With her irreverent humor and brash "tell it like it is" style, she'll help you laugh at everyday situations, easing the pressure of the toughest job in the world: being a mom.

That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals uses colorful artwork and lively text to introduce vegetarianism and veganism to early readers (ages six to ten). Written and illustrated by Ruby Roth, the book features an endearing animal cast of pigs, turkeys, cows, quail, turtles, and dolphins. These creatures are shown in both their natural state—rooting around, bonding, nuzzling, cuddling, grooming one another, and charming each other with their family instincts and rituals—and in the terrible conditions of the factory farm. The book also describes the negative effects eating meat has on the environment. A separate section entitled “What Else Can We Do?” suggests ways children can learn more about the vegetarian and vegan lifestyles, such as:“Celebrate Thanksgiving with a vegan feast” or “Buy clothes, shoes, belts, and bags that are not made from leather or other animal skins or fur.” This compassionate, informative book offers both an entertaining read and a resource to inspire parents and children to talk about a timely, increasingly important subject.

"I tried to fit language into the shape of usefulness. The world moves through words as if the bodies the words reflect did not exist. -- Claudia Rankine, Don't Let Me Be Lonely There was a time I had to re-learn how to scream. It happened at an Emilie Autumn concert when I was twenty-two. Autumn's music centers on sexual violence and the oppressive force of the mental health industrial complex. At her shows, she creates an entire universe for misfit girls and young women who struggle with mental illness, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and the aftermath of sexual abuse. At this concert, she did not sing about recovery or resilience; she celebrated her painful experiences and embraced her bipolar disorder. Above all, she created a safe place for anger. She stood on stage, an embodiment of powerful feminine sexuality and unapologetic rage, and growled, "Are you suffering? I want to see your pain!" I opened my mouth and, for the first time in at least ten years, screamed. I spent the next several weeks driving around Denver, screaming in the safety of my car. That was the first time I understood that art can have immediate and practical impact. I learned this again during my last semester of undergraduate study, when I took my first university-level creative writing course. The professor asked us to create an object of elegy for a person we did not know. I chose Christian Choate, a 13-year-old boy whose parents kept him in a cage, starved and beat him to death, and then buried him in a shallow grave. His disappearance was not noted for two years. His body was only discovered after his sister broke the silence. I decided to focus on what had been lost, on the childhood Christian should have had. I bought a baseball and a glove. On the glove, I wrote important milestones in a child's life, from first words to high school graduation. ..." -- from Introduction
