Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The bright, taut, explosive poems in Jordan Scott's Blert represent a spelunk into the mouth of the stutterer. Through the unique symptoms of the stutter (Scott, like fifty million others, has always stuttered), language becomes a rolling gait of words hidden within words, leading to different rhythms and textures, all addressed by the mouth's slight erosions. In Scott's lexicon, to blert is to stutter, to disturb the breath of speaking. The stutter quivers in all that we do, from a skip on a CD to a slip of the tongue. These experiences are often dismissed as aberrant, but in Blert, such fragmented milliseconds are embraced and mined as language. Often aimed full-bore at words that are especially difficult for the stutterer, Scott's poems don't just discuss, they replicate the act of stuttering, the 'blort, jam, and rejoice' involved in grappling with the granular texture of words.…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Award-winning author Jordan Scott's luminously-illustrated love story of a girl growing up in the shadow of a glacier that's always there to listen. As soon as she's born, Angela's father introduces her to her glacier. He carries her on his back up the icy expanse as the wind makes music of the snow and the water underneath. Over time, Angela gets big enough to walk beside him, and then, to go alone. She tells her glacier everything, and it answers.  But then, life gets busy. Angela's days fill up with school, homework, violin and soccer and friends. Until one day, Angela's heart doesn't sound right anymore. Luckily, Angela's dad is there to remind her what she needs: a visit to her ancient icy friend. From the Schneider Family and Boston Globe-Horn Book Award-winning author of I Talk Like a River, Angela's Glacier is a moving story about growing up without losing yourself, loving nature, and allowing it to love you in return. Diana Sudyka's breathtaking artwork pulls the reader into a world of warm hugs from shining blue-green ice-- and from Dad, too. An afterword from the real Angela highlights the tragic threat climate change poses to our planet's frozen marvels. A Bank Street Best Children's Book of the Year. Sudyka, Diana (illustrator).…

Hardback. Condition: Good. The bond between a child and his grandmother grows as they tend her garden together. A young boy spends his mornings with his beloved Baba, his grandmother. She doesn't speak much English, but they connect through gestures, gardening, eating, and walking to school together. Marked by memories of wartime scarcity, Baba cherishes food, and the boy learns to do the same. Eventually, Baba needs to move in with the boy and his parents, and he has the chance to care for her as she's always cared for him.  Inspired by memories from poet Jordan Scott's childhood, with beautiful, dreamlike illustrations by Hans Christian Andersen Award-winning illustrator Sydney Smith, My Baba's Garden is a deeply personal story that evokes universal emotions. Like Scott and Smith's previous collaboration I Talk Like a River, winner of the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award, My Baba's Garden lends wistful appreciation to cherished time with family.
