Updated paperback edition with new Author's Note! How could we leave the only world we had ever known? Parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins-all were holding hands, clinging to one another, as if they'd never let go. A story that is more relevant than ever, as parents in our war-torn world are forced to rip their families apart and send their children away to safety. It's 1938, and twelve-year-old Edith is about to move from the tiny German village she's lived in all her life to a place that seems as foreign as the moon: Chicago, Illinois. And she will be doing it alone. This dramatic and chilling novel about one girl's escape from Hitler's Germany was inspired by the experiences of the author's mother, one of fourteen-hundred children rescued by Americans as part of the One Thousand Children project. * "This book is an exceptional story of survival and devotion to homeland... This is a wonderful study of the Holocaust in a way that young readers will understand. Highly Recommended." -Library Media Connection "Chapman captures a plucky determination in Edith that readers will find endearing. There is no Cinderella ending for Edith, but the hope...and the honesty in her story make this historical fiction well worth reading." -Publishers Weekly - A Bank Street Best Children's Book of the Year - A YALSA Best Fiction Nominee - A Chicago Public Library Best of the Best - A Junior Library Guild Selection - Booklist's 1000 Best Young Adult Books since 2000 BONUS MATERIALS INSIDE! Features a discussion guide, Q&A with the author, and a special look at the remarkable true story as seen on the Oprah network, OWN.

‘Accompanied by NASA photographs and Dorros’s colorful, lively drawings, the text explains the Earth’s rotation in clear and simple terms. An experiment using a lamp as the ‘sun’ further clarifies the principles introduced.’ —BL.

Katharine Hilbery, torn between her duty to her family and her desire for intellectual independence, finds herself entangled in a hesitant courtship with Ralph Denham, a persistent suitor who challenges her ideals. Meanwhile, her friend Mary, dedicated to women's suffrage and social reform, grapples with her feelings for Cyril Alardyce, a promising young lawyer whose commitment to social justice mirrors her own. Published in 1919, Night and Day is Virginia Woolf's exploration of the societal constraints faced by women and the evolving dynamics of relationships amidst shifting cultural landscapes. Departing from the experimental techniques of her later works, this novel offers a more conventional narrative structure while still showcasing Woolf's keen insight into human emotions and societal norms. VIRGINIA WOOLF [1882–1941] was an English author. With novels like Jacob’s Room [1922], Mrs Dalloway [1925], To the Lighthouse [1927], and Orlando [1928], she became a leading figure of modernism and is considered one of the most important English-language authors of the 20th century. As a thinker, with essays like A Room of One’s Own [1929], Woolf has influenced the women’s movement in many countries.

The moon is bored with his humdrum nightly duties. He is always around the same old stars in the same old boring sky. Where’s the fun in that? The sun could use a change of scenery, too, and so the moon comes up with a brilliant solution—they will swap jobs! When the moon goes to work during the day, he does his best to shine, but he just isn’t as bright as the sun. It’s too chilly for people to enjoy the beach, and everything is in chaos. The sun doesn’t have it any better that night. His rays make it too hot to sleep, which makes people pretty angry. Maybe this trade isn’t such a bright idea after all. From author/illustrator Jules Miller comes When Night Became Day—a pleasant reminder that we are all born with unique and special abilities. Children and parents alike will enjoy pointing out all the imaginative details in Miller’s modern yet folksy illustrations. Day or night, this is a wonderful book to read aloud. Sky Pony Press, with our Good Books, Racehorse and Arcade imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of books for young readers—picture books for small children, chapter books, books for middle grade readers, and novels for young adults.

La notte diventa giorno, e il giorno diventa luce. La luce diventa sole, e il sole comincia a splendere. Lo splendore diventa bagliore, e il bagliore diventa ruscello. Il ruscello diventa fiume... (dal testo) "La notte diventa giorno" è un viaggio poetico nel cambiamento, in cui oggetti e sensazioni si plasmano uno nell'altro seguendo l'ordine ciclico della natura, in un'atmosfera sospesa fra l'alba e il tramonto di un giorno qualunque. L'alternarsi di notte e giorno è infatti il modello per una catena di metamorfosi che coinvolge situazioni e oggetti quotidiani, spesso di confine fra il mondo naturale e quello tipico dell'uomo, fino al ritorno finale al punto di partenza. Nello stile essenziale di Richard McGuire, le trasformazioni sono vivaci e personali, immaginate secondo la logica dei sogni e sempre immediate e riconoscibili da tutti, bambini e adulti. Le illustrazioni privilegiano tinte forti e definite, dai contrasti netti e con poche sfumature, mentre i contorni lineari degli oggetti e delle persone accompagnano graficamente la musicalità del testo, ricreando il senso di costante movimento che fa da sottofondo all'intero libro.

Night and Day (1934), an unfinished dilogy by Uzbek author Abdulhamid Sulaymon o’g’li Cho’lpon, gives readers a glimpse into the everyday struggles of men and women in Russian imperial Turkestan. More than just historical prose, Cho’lpon’s magnum opus reads as poetic elegy and turns on dramatic irony. Though Night, the first and only extant book of the dilogy, depicts the terrible fate of a young girl condemned to marry a sexual glutton, nothing is what it seems. Readers find themselves questioning the nature of Russian colonialism, resistance to it, and even the intentions of the author, whose life and the second book of his dilogy, Day, were lost to Stalinist terror.
