Norma took off on an unforgettable cross-country journey with three professional nomads--her retired son Tim, his wife Ramie, and their standard poodle Ringo--in a thirty-six-foot RV. This is the charming, infectiously joyous chronicle of their experiences on the road--a transformative journey of living life on your own terms that shows us that it is never too late to begin an adventure.

In the mid-1950s, as Brown v. Board of Education felled the ideology of "separate but equal," the African-American artist Jacob Lawrence saw the need for a version of American history that reckoned with its complexities and contradictions yet was shared by all its citizens. The result was his monumental work Struggle: from the History of the American People. Lawrence developed the series of thirty panels, each measuring 12 x 16 inches, over the course of two years. Lawrence created the panels as history you could hold in your hands and intended to reproduce the images in a book that he never realized. The paintings depict moments in the American Revolution and the early decades of the American republic and feature the words and actions of founding fathers, enslaved people, women, and Native Americans. In the spirit of Lawrence's project, this collection includes brief interpretive texts written by teens in response to the Struggle series. This illustrated book features a chorus of thirty young adult voices expressing how Lawrence and his Struggle series speaks to them on a personal, emotional level. The young writers come from a variety of races and ethnicities, nationalities, religions, genders, sexualities, and abilities, and underrepresented voices. As Jacob Lawrence mined American history to reflect upon events he saw happening around him in segregation-era America, these young adults use these panels to comment on their experiences in today's America.Participating teen authors: Sam Ahn, Mya Barnhart, Lynsey Borges, Tyler Burston, Saudia Campbell, Trécii Cheeseboro, Yasmine Chokrane, Amber Crus, Zora Danticat, Kevin Deleon, Emily Desosaran, Aminata Dosso, Jada Epps, Sophie Fishman, Rashad Freeman, Alyse Gaskins, Jennifer Hernandez, Amya Hudson, Ahmed Iginla, Makayla Jordan, Braden Kislin, Zarina Lewin, Jamiah Lewis, Abena Manuh, Makenda Marc, Munaja Mehzabin, Savannah Milton, Sunah Nash, Harry Osei-Bonsu, Jillian Peprah-Frimpong, Lindsey Ruiz, Yoilett Ramos Sanchez, Brianna Santiago, Lucia Santos, Kioni Shropshire-Maina, Lola Simon, Madison Stephenson, Yael Torres, L'hussen De Kolia Touré, Johnná Nicole-Lynn Townes, Kori Valentine, and Kylie Vargas.

Revolution of hope : the life, faith, and dreams of a Mexican president / by Fox Quesada, Vicente.(CARDINAL)355428; Allyn, Rob.(CARDINAL)781454;

The night watchman -- Making the Americas -- Men for others -- The cola wars -- The imperfect dictators --The house of the cradle -- Guns in the belly -- My Schwarzenegger problem -- The windshield cowboy -- The breadwoman of Bangladesh -- The burn bag -- The spirit of San Cristobal -- September 7 -- Fortress America -- The farmers in the road -- Comparing notes -- Be careful what you ask for -- One foot on the floor -- Departures -- At the feet of the horses -- Walls of fear, dreams of hope.The charismatic former President of Mexico offers a candid perspective on the state of world affairs. When Vicente Fox swept into office in 2000, he broke the dictatorial one-party rule that had strangled Mexico for over seventy years. Fox worked his way from ranch hand and truck driver to the youngest CEO in the history of Coca-Cola. As president, he steered Mexico's fragile young democracy through turbulent times, ushering in six years of economic stability and reform in health care, education, and housing, with increased freedom of the press. This book interweaves his inspiring personal story with his bold ideas for the future of the planet. Fox speaks forcefully on hot global topics like immigration, the war in Iraq, racism, globalization, the role of the United Nations, free trade, religion, gender equity, indigenous rights and the moral imperative to heal the global divide between rich and poor nations.--From publisher description.

Frank : sonnets / by Seuss, Diane,author.;

""The sonnet, like poverty, teaches you what you can do / without," Diane Seuss writes in this brilliant, candid work, her most personal collection to date. These poems tell the story of a life at risk of spilling over the edge of the page, from Seuss's working-class childhood in rural Michigan to the dangerous allures of New York City and back again. With sheer virtuosity, Seuss moves nimbly across thought and time, poetry and punk, AIDS and addiction, Christ and motherhood, showing us what we can do, what we can do without, and what we offer to one another when we have nothing left to spare. Like a series of cels on a filmstrip, frank: sonnets captures the magnitude of a life lived honestly, a restless search for some kind of "beauty or relief." Seuss is at the height of her powers, devastatingly astute, austere, and--in a word--frank."--Publisher's website.Includes bibliographical references.Machine generated contents note:Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, 2022
