Описание: Today, most remember ""California Girl"" Lillian Frances Smith (1871-1930) as Annie Oakley's chief competitor in the small world of the Wild West shows' female shooters. But the two women were quite different: Oakley's conservative ""prairie beauty"" persona clashed with Smith's tendency to wear flashy clothes and keep company with the cowboys and American Indians she performed with. This lively first biography chronicles the Wild West showbiz life that Smith led and explores the talents that made her a star. Drawing on family records, press accounts, interviews, and numerous other sources, historian Julia Bricklin peels away the myths that enshroud Smith's fifty-year career. Known as ""The California Huntress"" before she was ten years old, Smith was a professional sharpshooter by the time she reached her teens, shooting targets from the back of a galloping horse in Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West. Not only did Cody offer $10,000 to anyone who could beat her, but he gave her top billing, setting the stage for her rivalry with Annie Oakley. Being the best female sharpshooter in the United States was not enough, however, to differentiate Lillian Smith from Oakley and a growing number of ladylike cowgirls. So Smith reinvented herself as ""Princess Wenona,"" a Sioux with a violent and romantic past. Performing with Cody and other showmen such as Pawnee Bill and the Miller brothers, Smith led a tumultuous private life, eventually taking up the shield of a forged Indian persona. The morals of the time encouraged public criticism of Smith's lack of Victorian femininity, and the press's tendency to play up her rivalry with Oakley eventually overshadowed Smith's own legacy. In the end, as author Julia Bricklin shows, Smith cared more about living her life on her own terms than about her public image. Unlike her competitors who shot to make a living, Lillian Smith lived to shoot.

This is an illustrated children's book aimed at ages 0 to 11 year olds as well as those who continue to laugh at a book that humorously asks the question: What would happen to our faces if our ears, nose, eyes, and mouth switched where they would normally be. The text and illustrations give wild and hilarious examples of the effects of those possibliites. Additionally, the illustrations are pointedly multicultural so that every child and caregiver reading these pages feels included and never marginalized.

Relationships can be so confusing to children. "How can my mommy or daddy be someone else's child? I'm the child, not them " These books bring that concept of their parent having their own parent by demonstrating this bewildering idea with amusing text and captivating illustrations. There is nothing that can present these facts more tenderly than when read to a child in the arms of their grandmother.

When you're little, everything that happens in your body can be fascinating, confusing, and sometimes embarrassing, but the hilarious illustrations and laugh out loud explanations about the normality of flatulence will have you and your child giggling all the way. How do those butt burps begin? Why are some of them quiet and some as loud as fog horns? What is the polite way to handle those 'burps' when they happen in a group setting? All of these questions are answered with a lilt of laughter and comical bright illustrations that transcend gender and ethnicity. Profits from all of my books go to charities that benefit children.
