Penguin Putnam Inc Stonewall Breaking Out in the Fight for Gay
Book SynopsisThe first history of gay rights for teen readers, written by award-winning nonfiction author Ann Bausum.That’s the Stonewall. The Stonewall Inn. Pay attention. History walks through that door. In 1969 being gay in the United States was a criminal offense. It meant living a closeted life or surviving on the fringes of society. People went to jail, lost jobs, and were disowned by their families for being gay. Most doctors considered homosexuality a mental illness. There were few safe havens. The Stonewall Inn, a Mafia-run, filthy, overpriced bar in New York City’s Greenwich Village, was one of them. Police raids on gay bars happened regularly in this era. But one hot June night, when cops pounded on the door of the Stonewall, almost nothing went as planned. Tensions were high. The crowd refused to go away. Anger and frustration boiled over. The raid became a riot. The riot became a catalyst

From the very first pages, he found the book appealing.... Reading this book made him feel hopeful and empowered. We both recommend it.” —Tulsa Book Review “Lavallee and Schneider bring together their collective wisdom in this interactive self-help book for parents and their young children who have separation concerns and anxiety. Separation anxiety prevents many children from enjoying their friends, families, and school. Using the metaphor of flying in a hot air balloon and based on their lifelong clinical research, they provide specific exercises and strategies based on established cognitive-behavioral principles for helping children overcome excessive separation anxiety. It clearly explains—in an engaging story format—the steps parents and children can take to overcome such anxieties and to lead a worry-free life. This is a practical ‘what-to-do’ book that will benefit many parents and their children. It is a book that will be welcome not only by parents but by clinicians who are looking for such materials to provide families.” —Thomas H.

Enchanted Lion Books The Bathing Costume: Or the Worst Vacation of My
Book SynopsisThe book's protagonist is Michel, an eight-year-old Parisian boy. His brother Martin, who's twelve, detests him, and he detests Martin right back. This summer, Michel will go away alone, which really means without his mom, to stay with his grandparents while his parents move apartments. To add to the horror, Michel's older boy cousins will be going, too. As Michel says, "To put it simply, they are big, strong, and pals with Martin. I am their scapegoat." Recounted by Michel himself, his vacation doesn't turn out to be such a complete zero after all. Between a competition to see who can shower the least, wild bike rides without gear, and a tooth that finally falls out, Michel discovers both independence and real moments of happiness. The text is both very funny and moving, with good reason, for we see an eight-year-old's vacation with his grandparents and older cousins through his own eyes, with all of the little things that are important to a boy of eight: the dumb things that he'll never tell his mom; the small triumphs; the disregard and mocking of the older cousins; the shame of having a bathing suit that slips off in the pool; the freedom of being away from home; and the satisfaction of overcoming fears. As always, Olivier Tallec's illustrations render all the emotions of our little hero with an enormous amount of expressiveness, talent, and sheer gorgeousness.Trade Review2014 Mildred L. Batchelder Honor Book "It's funny. It's touching without being cloying. Its tone is just right, and the characters nearly leap off the page in all their authenticity. It's a coming-of-age story with heart and truth and lots of humor. Don't miss it. ... The Bathing Costume is enticing and humorous reading that youths will relish with a charming art style, recommended." - Julie Danielson, Kirkus "Moundlic gets the voice just right...Tallec is gorgeously sensitive to the passions of childhood." - The New York Times Book Review "Tallec's softly rendered illustrations are always in tune with Myron's moods...A pensive, sensitive book for pensive, sensitive children." - Publishers Weekly
