Quatrième fille de l’empereur, la princesse Djeow Seow est si petite que nul à la cour ne fait attention à elle. Elle vit seule, elle mange seule, elle joue seule, avec un cerf-volant. Mais un jour l’empereur est arrêté et fait prisonnier. Comment la toute petite Djeow Seow pourrait-elle, seule, libérer son père ?

L'empereur et le cerf-volant

"They change their sky, not their soul, who rush across the sea." - HoraceTwelve stories and two poems of power and powerlessness, of tragedy, of courage, of loss, of love, of regret and of never looking back, of transition and transcendence. Twelve tales and two poems about things that people fight to take with them when forced to run, and about things they never forgive themselves for leaving behind. From fantasy worlds of merfolk and witches to almost-real worlds of people who are nearly just like us, these are stories to touch everyone's heart... and a book which will go on to help those who are living similar stories every day.

Children of a Different Sky

"How does a dinosaur say good night when Papa comes in to turn off the light? Does a dinosaur slam his tail and pout? Does he throw his teddy bear all about? Does a dinosaur stomp his feet on the floor and shout: 'I want to hear one book more!'? DOES A DINOSAUR ROAR?" Most certainly not. Dinosaurs give their mommies and daddies big hugs and kisses, tuck their tales in, and whisper "Good night!" Every sleepy little dinosaur will recognize the tricks of the trade in these bedtime shenanigans. The chuckle factor is sky-high here, with giant, full-page pictures of cleverly identified Tyrannosaurus rexes, triceratopses, and Pteranodons. A variety of human mothers and fathers trying to put their dinosaur children to bed will bring the point home that the story may have something to do with human kid behavior as well. This good-natured nighttime book is sure to be a winner (even though it might inspire a few noisy dinosaur antics), especially as it's written by Jane Yolen, prolific Caldecott Medalist author of Owl Moon. Yolen and Mark Teague have teamed up to create a fun, silly, playful read-aloud. (Ages 3 to 7) --Emilie Coulter

Bonne Nuit, Petit Dinosaure!

Knjiga pravljic in kuharska knjiga za otroke v enem! Knjiga je prejela oznako odlicnosti "Zlata hruska 2018".

Kako hitra je lahko bezeca palacinka? Koliko tatov se mora zbrati skupaj, da bi zares lahko ukradli krusne vonjave? Kateri kamen naredi juho najokusnejso? Kako caroben je ples fizolckov v zelodcu? Koliko pecenih jabolk sme pojesti prava princesa? Pripravljanje jedi je najbolj pravljicno takrat, ko zraven prebiramo zgodbe. Dobre zgodbe pa so vedno zacinjene s kanckom carobnosti.

Pripovedovanje in hrana sta bila tesno povezana vse od pradavnine, ko so lovci po prihodu z lova ob tabornem ognju govorili o svojih lovskih junastvih in pri tem glodali kosti ulovljenih zveri, pa do casa kraljev na gradovih, ko so ob kraljevski pojedini radi prisluhnili zgodbam pripovedovalcev, in vse do casa vecerij ob televiziji, ko se je zbrala cela druzina, da bi skupaj jedli in si ogledali film.

Avtorici kuharske knjige Pripojedke sta navdih za jedi iskali v svetu domisljije: v svetu pravljic, legend in pripovedk. Mladim kuharjem zacetnikom - mi smo jih poimenovali kar kuhalci - pri sukanju kuhalnice svetujeta prav to: obilo domisljije.

Pripojedke

A bear sat on my porch today

From the award-winning series comes an anthology of hopeful stories centering on: "What is a life well-lived? What would you do to have a meaningful life?"Recommended by Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews, Booklist, Locus, and Foreword ReviewsTravel with twenty-three speculative fiction authors through the seasons of life to capture the memories, identities, and moments of stepping through the portal of change, as they cope with their own journeys of growing older. From the moment of birth, through each threshold of our lives, to the moment we take our last breath, we age. Some of us leap into a hopeful future, some cling to the knowns of our former selves, some wander obliviously through the minefields and poppies of change. Something is lost, something is gained in each season. Things forgotten, things remembered. A child redefines identity and belonging in post-Soviet Hungary. A girl blossoming to adult awareness exchanges life for death in rural Canada. A college student chooses between the magic of ancient spirits and the magic of daily happiness in modern Japan. In futuristic India, a mother finds joy in the balance between family and career. Under the Andalusian sun, a mathematician consults his older self in affairs of love. In alternate Tanzania, a husband and wife discover wisdom in memory loss. A robot eases an old man's grief, and a grandmother opens her heart when she listens to her child.  And many more hopeful stories. ORIGINAL STORIES BY Maurice Broaddus, Vanessa Cardui, C. J.

Speculative fiction fans will find it well worth searching out."-Publishers Weekly"VERDICT: This collection is at turns haunting, yearning, and hopeful. An excellent volume of varied voices, both familiar and new."-Library Journal"Through soft and hard science fiction, magical realism, folklore, horror, high fantasy, and alternate history, the 20 stories and two poems tackle aging, loss, change, and adaptation. Like the authors and characters, the settings are diverse. Fans of speculative fiction are well served."-Kirkus Reviews"The dazzling speculative fiction anthology Seasons Between Us features a range of distinct and powerful voices. By stretching the boundaries of what is and what might be, the stories in Seasons Between Us are compelling in addressing choice, identity, and meaning."-Foreword Reviews (starred reviews)"A thought-provoking collection of short works. The subtitle clearly labels the contents while not fully preparing the reader for the depth of emotion and vulnerability found within." -Booklist (American Library Association)
