A powerful and accesible bilingual picture book that highlights "the power and impact of ordinary but dedicated citizens."*
Every day, thousands of farmworkers harvested the food that ended up on kitchen tables all over the country. But at the end of the day, when the workers sat down to eat, there were only beans on their own tables. Then Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez teamed up. Together they motivated the workers to fight for their rights and, in the process, changed history.
Award-winning author Monica Brown and acclaimed illustrator Joe Cepeda join together to create this stunning tribute to two of the most influential people of the twentieth century.
"I love that this book introduces Dolores and Cesar as children and connects their early life experiences to the decisions they made as they grew up," commented reviewer Maria Ramos-Chertok in the blog "Latinxs in Kid Lit." "Given that I longed for bilingual children's books when my two sons were growing up, I only wish I had known about this book earlier." She added that Side by Side offers opportunities to open discussions about work and career, feminism, and friendship, as well as a fresh perspective on history.

Описание:
Power Play tells the story of activist teachers and the very young together in a play-based curriculum in a public school in Texas. The authors narrate (with playful interruptions) a curriculum that is powered by the students’ lived encounters—the languages, landscapes, beliefs, histories, geographies, politics, economies, ideas, people, things, matter, and matters of fact and fiction that students carry with them to school, that carry them to school, through school, through their lives.

Автор: Monica Huerta Название: Magical Habits ISBN: 1478013265 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781478013266 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 12534.00 р. Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ.
Описание: In Magical Habits Monica Huerta draws on her experiences growing up in her family's Mexican restaurants and her life as a scholar of literature and culture to meditate on how relationships among self, place, race, and storytelling contend with both the afterlives of history and racial capitalism. Whether dwelling on mundane aspects of everyday life, such as the smell of old kitchen grease, or grappling with the thorny, unsatisfying question of authenticity, Huerta stages a dynamic conversation among genres, voices, and archives: personal and critical essays exist alongside a fairy tale; photographs and restaurant menus complement fictional monologues based on her family's history. Developing a new mode of criticism through storytelling, Huerta takes readers through Cook County courtrooms, the Cristero Rebellion (in which her great-grandfather was martyred by the Mexican government), Japanese baths in San Francisco—and a little bit about Chaucer too. Ultimately, Huerta sketches out habits of living while thinking that allow us to consider what it means to live with and try to peer beyond history even as we are caught up in the middle of it.

Описание: This is a true story of the death of a child through homicide. It is about a mother's healing journey and the pivotal decisions she had to make in order to survive her son's death. It is about betrayal, and a shocking verdict but it's also about love, courage, and faith. It is hope for survival and inspiration for revival for those that are suffering a similar loss. "Unforgettable. The layers of grief are too exquisite for words but Sandra finds a way to the depth of her soul and describes the torment with such clarity ... you will not soon forget. Her haunting dreams will stay with you long after you have finished this extraordinary story of love, betrayal, courage, and hope. "Tiers of Sorrow" is one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful true stories you will ever read." -Wayne Cooper, Author and Publisher / Levita Media "Sandra is on a mission. After the violent death of her young adult son, she has armed herself with weapons from another world. Sandra has discovered the keys to hope and wellbeing but not until after experiencing utter grief and pain herself. A wounded healer knows how to reach the hurting. She has traveled the journey of deep sorrow and injustice and has come through it with startling understanding and strength. I recommend this book to the professionals who help crime victims and their families but, mostly, this story has the power to minister to anyone who suffers the loss of a loved one from a shooting, stabbing, or violent crime." -Margaret Montreuil, Speaker and Author, God in Sandals, God with Us, His Kingdome Come, and coming soon, Come & See "Deeply moving yet chilling. Tiers of Sorrow compels the reader to set aside petty, insignificant differences with loved ones and cherish every moment as the gift it is. It demonstrates courage in the face of heart wrenching circumstances that inspires hope us all." -M. Ann Bruce, Author, Director, Producer #mswl #nonfiction #crime #SandraToscanoBooks
