Tundra Books Sos Stories of Survival
Book SynopsisEveryone’s life is touched at some time by disaster. But some disasters loom so large they are international events. The stories of those who live through such devastating events such as earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, fires, and floods are both heartbreaking and compelling. Often they are inspiring and uplifting. SOS: Stories of Survival tells the tales of young survivors of such disasters — teenage coal miners trapped deep below the surface of the earth in Springhill, Nova Scotia; children who ran to escape the poisonous exploding gases spewing from Mont Pelee on Martinique; teens who rode the roofs of their homes in Pennsylvania’s roaring Johnstown Flood; and youngsters who survived, but still suffer from, the nuclear accident in Chernobyl.Archival photos document these astounding sagas.

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 *

Book SynopsisDiscover the epic story of the dinosaurs, from their first appearance 230 million years ago through to their living descendants, the birds, today.Trade Review"An exciting purchase for libraries looking for high-interest nonfiction that covers both dinosaurs and career interests." * School Library Journal * "In this engaging launch to a series of books with fold-out timelines, Eric Eagle, senior librarian of the Eagle-Eyed Explorer Club, is tasked with taking an expedition into prehistory to explore and document dinosaur life. Forshaw, who has illustrated other What on Earth titles, works in an accessible style that blends naturalistic and cartoony details. Clad in classic explorer's attire, Eagle is whisked back in time where dinosaurs roam. Chapters focus on dinosaur identification, diversity, and extinction. Featured are Eagle's "Explorer Notes," made to resemble perforated notebook pages, and which feature his identifications of various dinosaurs, as well as insights into topics such as adaptation, dinosaur eggs, and profiles of dinosaur excavators throughout history. The six-foot-long timeline chronicles dinosaur life from the Triassic Period through our current Cenozoic Era. A strong choice for visual learners and information-seekers. Also available: Explorer: Bugs! Ages 7-11." * Publishers' Weekly * **SILVER HONOR - PARENTS' CHOICE AWARDS** "An excellent resource for dino-dedicated kids, this new title in What on Earth Publishing's fold-out timeline series explores the history of dinosaurs, from their emergence in the Triassic period 240 million years ago through their eventual extinction...A worthwhile, informative, and fun resource for young students and anyone intrigued by these mind-boggling creatures that once roamed this planet." * Parents' Choice Media & Toy Reviews *

Taylor & Francis Ltd Teaching Asian America in Elementary Classrooms
Book SynopsisAsian American voices and experiences are largely absent from elementary curricula.Asian Americans are an extraordinarily diverse group of people, yet are often viewed through stereotypical lenses: as Chinese or Japanese only, as recent immigrants who do not speak English, as exotic foreigners, or as a model minority who do well in school. This fundamental misperception of who Asian Americans are begins with young learners?often from what they learn, or do not learn, in school.This book sets out to amend the superficial treatment of Asian American histories in U.S. textbooks and curriculum by providing elementary teachers with a more nuanced, thematically driven account. In chapters focusing on the complexity of Asian American identity, major moments in Asian immigration, war and displacement, issues of citizenship, and Asian American activism, the authors include suggestions across content areas for guided class discussions, ideas for broader uTrade Review"Teaching Asian America in Elementary Classrooms is a critically important book that I wish my son's teachers had read. If you teach Asian American children or want to understand Asian American education at the elementary level, you need this incredible book."—Wayne Au, Professor, UW Bothell School of Educational Studies and Rethinking Schools editor“This book is a vital tool in helping teachers tell the story of Asian America. It is the story of America itself, and it deserves to be shared with every student, at every age, all year round.”—Christina Soontornvat, three-time Newbery Honor recipient "This book offers a place to enter when inquiring about Asian and Asian Americans with the full complexity of those categorical markers. With both examples and a humility on the part of the authors, readers are invited into an often invisiblized reality in the U.S. that have always been connected to Asian American organizing for rights over the past two centuries."—Leigh Patel, Professor, University of Pittsburgh School of Education, and Central Chair Committee, Education for LiberationTable of ContentsIntroduction. 1.
