Paperback. Condition: Good. My Wedding Dress explores the wedding outfit as a touchstone garment in women's lives. In the tradition of Dropped Threads, this collection offers twenty-six true stories from well-known writers and fresh new literary voices. These are intimate stories about relationships; not just those between men and women, but between women and their mothers, friends and children. And, of course, with their wedding attire - a relationship that is sometimes simple, sometimes complex, but always fascinating in what it tells us about individual lives and aspirations. Some of the tales are humorous - the bride whose skin is dyed fuchsia on her wedding night or the woman whose shopping-savvy aunt takes her to New York's garment district. Some are romantic - the woman who puts on her dress eight years after her wedding only to be caught by her husband when he comes home early from work or the quickie immigration wedding that turned into the real thing. Some are devastating - the bride who loses her mother to illness only days before her wedding or the woman whose mother tells of being kidnapped by her future husband. And some are revealing - the woman who wears her first wedding dress for her initiation ceremony into a convent and her second to marry her beloved; the dress that waited patiently in a shop window and then hidden in a box on a closet shelf; the same-sex wedding at age eighty; the thrift shop wedding dress that gets used for everything but a wedding. All are honest, personal and profoundly moving. As Anne Laurel Carter explains in her introduction, the pieces fell easily into four categories, so that's how the book is organized. Something Old looks at how traditions like honouring one's ancestors affected wedding dress choices, from a grandmother's gift to a father's old leather jacket, but also at how such traditions can play a role in ways you least expect. The pieces in Something New focus on dreams for the future, whether that means breaking away from the expectations of one's family or choosing/creating a wedding dress (and a future) on your own. In Something Borrowed, writers tell of all the reasons behind borrowing (or trying to borrow ) dresses, for whatever reason, and Something Blue . . . Or Peach . . . Or Striped . . . Or Floral . . . looks at exactly that-the non-traditional choices women have made, and why. These stories re-create the range of emotions that are invested in dresses and wedding days: confidence, optimism, hesitation, fear, fury and hope. When you work away at the seams, even the simplest of wedding outfits reveals all manner of memories and meanings. And whether you've been married or not, the stories in My Wedding Dress will have you looking back with new eyes on your own life, and exploring what the phrase my wedding dress means to you.

Hardback. Condition: Good. Like a prince, Night arrives at a star-spangled palace, Swirling his cape of aurora borealis. He fires off comets; then a voice stops his show. It's loud and commanding-a voice he should know. Stop playing! Day shouts from far across space. I'll meet you at home. Come on, it's a race! And that's when he finally remembers their game. He forgot to find Day. Each night it's the same! Night is a boy who knows it's much more fun to play than go to sleep. When the sun sets, he travels through the night sky in a spaceship with his teddy. Night's favorite game is hide-and-go-seek, which he plays each evening with his older sister, Day. But why can't he ever find her? Night Boy is a unique, playful story about a brother and a sister named Night and Day. The rhythmic text and rich illustrations make for a bedtime story that is sure to lull children who say I can't sleep into dreamland. Through the personae of a brother and sister, Night Boy offers a fantastical explanation of how the night sky is formed. Pelletier, Ninon (illustrator). …

Paperback. Condition: Good. Winner of the Canadian Library Association Book of the Year Award for Children, the Society of School Librarians International Best Book Award and a Jane Addams Children's Book Award Honor Book Ever since she was a little girl, Amani has wanted to be a shepherd, just like her beloved grandfather, Sido. For generations her family has grazed sheep above the olive groves of the family homestead near Hebron, and she has been steeped in Sido?s stories, especially one about a secret meadow called the Firdoos, where the grass is lush and the sheep grow fat, and about the wolf that once showed him the path there. But now Amani?s family home is being threatened by encroaching Jewish settlements. As she struggles to find increasingly rare grazing land for her starving sheep, her uncle and brother are tempted to take a more militant stance against the settlers. Then she accidentally meets Jonathan, an American boy visiting his settler father. Away from the pressures of their families, the two young people discover Sido?s secret meadow, the domain of a lone wolf. And Amani learns that she must share the meadow, and even her sheep, with the wolf, if she is going to continue to use it.…
