Tuttle Publishing Kojiki The Birth of Japan
Book SynopsisTrade Review"What makes this book special is the author's own long familiarity with the actual physical locations where some of the events took place…Because of her intense personal connection with the Kojiki story, Kazumi Wilds was moved to design and print a very special limited-edition artist book on her own handmade paper that embodied the mystery of the original story. Tuttle now gives a much wider audience the opportunity to experience this beautifully executed book." --Timothy Barrett, Director, University of Iowa Center for the Book"Kazumi Wilds' beautifully conceived retelling of the Kojiki comes at a perfect time, coinciding as it does with a resurgence of interest in Japan's earliest surviving work. The illustrations are exquisitely executed, perfectly evoking not only the mystery of myth, but also resonating with the rhythms of the text in a way that will bring this classic of world mythology alive…" --Gustav Heldt, Associate Professor of Japanese Literature, University of Virginia & translator of The Kojiki: An Account of Ancient Matters"Visually stunning and textually lyrical, Wilds captures the playfulness and sense of humor which often gets lost in the act of translation and study of the Japanese creation myth. First birth, first death, and, ultimately, the divorce at the cosmic level, this works gives insights into how modern Japanese society still lives under the shadow of Kojiki. Here in our hands, we have a welcome addition to the Kojiki study that is both modern and traditional, profound and profane, celestial and earthy." --Mariko Nagai, Associate Professor of Creative Writing and Japanese Literature at Temple University Japan Campus

Holiday House Plight of the Pelican
Book SynopsisA richly illustrated nonfiction picture book celebrating how scientists and activists can work together to create change and protect wildlife, making the world safer for creatures both big and small.How do you save a species? Start at the edges of the food chain.In the 1950s, the brown pelican went from thriving to barely surviving. The culprit was DDT: a harmful pesticide that seeped into soil, spread in the water, festered in small fish, and ultimately caused the pelican population to plummet. Scientists sounded the alarm, but faced pushback from farmers who relied on DDT to control pesky pests.It required many voices joining together, demanding change, before the government took action. Thanks to these efforts, we now have the EPA and the Endangered Species Act, which continue to protect wildlife threatened by climate change.This thrilling and inspirational nonfiction picture book introduces young readers to bioaccumulation, endangered species, and one of the biggest grassroots movements of our time. It connects the success of the pelican?s regrowth with conservation efforts in place today, such as pollinator gardens, wildlife corridors, and much more.Sweeping illustrations depict the brown pelican?s journey from near extinction to a robust, populous species. Back matter includes more details on the EPA, a glossary, and an index.

She's too old to throw a tantrum, and her father's offer of letting her live in New York with her grandparents is simply not an option. No way will she follow their strict Orthodox Jewish rules when her own parents didn't even make her go to Hebrew school. Melissa's reluctant arrival in Henryville brings some surprises. To her amazement the college town offers more than she ever anticipated, including a fantastic school orchestra and the chance to star in the school play, not to mention her immediate popularity with the coolest kids in school. And then there's Daniel Goodman, the remarkable boy who shares Melissa's passion for acting and playing the violin. Everything seems too good to be true, until Melissa comes across something she has nTrade Review"The Violin Players is well done and Melissa is an engaging character. . . .
