This book has something to say! I absolutely love the beautifully illustrated portraits and well detailed biographies of Black leaders. Being able to hear the voices of figures from Black History was treat and really brought them to life. Many times, students only read about history but being able to hear their voices made it more personal and more in-depth. This book is a triple threat! I highly recommend this book for everyone.” -- Cicely Lewis * Read Woke, Inc., 2020 National School Librarian of the Year *...a straightforward biographical packaging that challenges readers to hone their own voices. * Publishers Weekly *

Tuttle Publishing All About Korea Stories Songs Crafts and Games
Book Synopsis2012 Creative Child Magazine Preferred Choice Award WinnerTrade Review"All About Korea is a rich trove of activities and information about Korea, compiled by author Ann Martin Bowler. In fifteen chapters, appealingly illustrated by Soosoonam Barg, Bowler presents history, games, folktales, some basic Korean language, songs, recipes, and information about holidays, arts and crafts, architecture, and values. In addition to use in the classroom, the many Korean-American parents and adoptive parents of Korean-born children will be gratified and assisted by Bowler and Barg's book in instilling in their bicultural children a sense of pride and respect for the Korean people and their country." --PaperTigers.org blog"Explaining a country's culture is a difficult and rewarding task, and without a doubt, it requires contemplation and hard work. After reading All About Korea, I was certain that it was written by a Korean or Korean-American author. I was pleasantly surprised to see that a non-Korean had written such a thorough, informative yet succinct introduction about Korean culture. The book is accurate and covers a lot of ground, and the author manages to get past the superficial level of cultural understanding." --Jeong-Gwan Lee, Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in San Francisco"All About Korea is a delightful children's book written by Ann Martin Bowler, an adoptive parent of two children from Korea. A wonderful resource for families who have adopted from Korea, the book--chalk full of interesting facts about Seoul--also serves as a useful and fun guide for anyone interested in Korean history and culture. Your child will love the fun stories, crafts and activities, as well as the vibrant and colorful pictures--beautifully illustrated by Soosoonam Barg, an artist and teacher from Seoul. Bowler also provides delicious recipes used in the rich Korean culture! We highly recommend All About Korea to our Korea families and their children. We encourage you to read the book with your child and, together, learn about Korea and your child's heritage!" --Angie Wharfield Ford, Director of Post Adoption Services, Holt International

What on Earth Publishing Ltd The Illinois Chronicles
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewSTARRED REVIEW - “In honor of the Illinois bicentennial, this creative history launches the Chronicles series. Beautifully designed, the pages resemble spreads from a fictional Illinois newspaper and feature “articles” on events ranging from Illinois’ 1818 admittance to the Union to current plans for the state’s 2018 bicentennial celebration. Without trying to be a comprehensive history, the book highlights major events, such as Chicago’s World’s Fairs and the Cubs’ 2016 World Series win, and noteworthy local figures, including Jane Addams, Frank Lloyd Wright, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, and Barack Obama…An elaborately detailed, impeccably organized time line follows the main text; printed on sturdy paper, this accordion-folded addition stretches eight pages, with the time line appearing on one side and an assortment of state facts, places to visit, and famous Illinoisans on the reverse. Significant curricular support is available for educators wishing to add this excellent resource to their classrooms.” * Booklist *
