DOWNLOAD EBOOKFunny Bones tells the story of how the amusing calaveras—skeletons performing various everyday or festive activities—came to be. They are the creation of Mexican artist José Guadalupe (Lupe) Posada (1852–1913). In a country that was not known for freedom of speech, he first drew political cartoons, much to the amusement of the local population but not the politicians. He continued to draw cartoons throughout much of his life, but he is best known today for his calavera drawings. They have become synonymous with Mexico’s Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) festival. Juxtaposing his own art with that of Lupe’s, author Duncan Tonatiuh brings to light the remarkable life and work of a man whose art is beloved by many but whose name has remained in obscurity. The book includes an author’s note, bibliography, glossary, and index.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKI have written 'Poems for All Seasons' with a view to have children conduct a bit of soul-searching while also keeping in mind the important fact that they are 'children'. Most of the poems are 'fun' poems which the kids will enjoy reading. Also there is at least one poem within the selection that every child can identify with. As adults, we at times forget the child within us. I have addressed various 'issues' that a child may have but which may seem trivial to an adult. There is no set formula for a 'stress-free' existence but we can work towards it. Children are very dear to me and with this view in mind, I set out to write my anthology of poems. It is meant to tickle your funny-bone, inspire, lift up your spirits when you are down, and most importantly- to help you value yourself.
