Meet a flamingo who learns that being yourself is the best thing to be! "Mama, why are we pink?" asks an ever-curious young flamingo named Sylvie. When she learns that it's due to the little pink brine shrimp they eat, Sylvie takes the maxim "You are what you eat!" to a whole new level. Her changed diet leads to some colorful new looks--from scarlet to green to positively purple! Ultimately, Sylvie learns the valuable lesson that sometimes it's best just to be yourself. Young listeners will love trying to guess what happens next. This edition is perfect for little hands, and for stowing in backpacks and strollers for reading on the go! "There is a surprise ending that will surely induce giggles from kids. Sattler's art steals the show; the colors are eye-popping and vibrant, right to the swirling bright endpapers. As Sylvie changes colors the background changes hues as well. This title is sure to create story time magic." --School Library Journal

As volcanoes erupt, wildfires spread, and sinkholes swallow entire cities, two unlikely allies must survive the shifting landscape together or risk the enemies and dangers they’ll face apart. After an asteroid knocks the moon off its axis, scientists warn of Earth’s eventual destruction. Governments, Moon Maniacs, and doomsday preppers brace for the worst, but as the years tick by, life continues mostly unchanged, and it becomes easy to fall into a false sense of security. Ava Hernandez is no stranger to loss, heartache, and the struggle to survive. Branded a social pariah in her small town for reasons beyond her control, she’s grown used to people’s stares and mutterings over the years. Working two jobs while taking care of a sickly woman she owes her life to, it’s all Ava can do to keep her head above water, let alone prep for “the end.” Knox Bennett is country boy royalty and infamous for holding a grudge. His mother is dead, his father has gone off the rails, his brother has abandoned him, and Ava is to blame for all of it. While he might’ve been fed with a silver spoon, all the money in the world can’t prepare him or save his family’s ranch from what comes next. As fire engulfs the small town of Sonora, Texas, and nearby cities crumble, Ava’s and Knox’s lives become increasingly intertwined in the ensuing chaos, and they must help each other reach the safe haven alive. From the author of The Ending Series and Savage North Chronicles comes a new weather-ravaged survival story. Skies of Fire is a post-apocalyptic adventure set in the fire-scorched heartland of the American Southwest. This book is a stand-alone, with tie-ins to Waves of Fury, another Surviving Earth Chronicles installment. *** K Webster romance, spicy romance, post-apocalyptic fiction, survival fiction, end of the world action-adventure, forced proximity, enemies to lovers, contemporary science fiction romance, Lindsey Pogue, waves of fury, surviving earth, chronicles, savage north chronicles, cataclysmic events, apocalyptic horror, diversity, Hispanic, disaster fiction

Contributing to the rapidly emerging field of ecolinguistics, this book explores the role of language in mediating and determining our relationship with nature and in shaping attitudes and social practices in environmental areas. In doing so, it maps out research pathways for informed ecological debate that concerns both the planet and the discipline. The book centres on two case studies. The first is a nature reserve near Siracusa in Sicily run by Fabio Cilea, where flamingos have begun to breed despite the devastation of the nearby coastline by one of the largest petro-chemical plants in Europe. The second is High Ash farm, a small farm near Norwich, UK. Farmer, Chris Skinner, is a passionate naturalist who for 30 years has presented a programme on BBC Radio Norfolk. Through analysing the discourse of both Skinner and Cilea, the book explores what it can reveal about the underlying environmental visions that sustain them. Together with the discourse of other engaged ecological figures, a picture emerges of the connections that exist between our beliefs/attitudes, language and the natural world. Presenting a framework for analysing environmental discourse from a primarily positivist standpoint, the book draws attention to the discourses that underline social practices felt to be useful, necessary and beneficial in these moments of environmental crisis. Although these contexts are European, the methodologies applied, as well as the ecological and linguistic issues dealt with, are universal, clarifying the relationship between social practices and language itself, viewed in the book as an ecosystem that is also in need of loving attention.
