Beauty Oct 1, 2014

by Hubert, Kerascoet

( 54 )

$2.99

When the repulsively ugly Coddie unintentionally saves a fairy from a spell, she does not understand the poisonous nature of the wish granted her by the fairy. The village folk no longer see her as repulsive and stinking of fish—they now perceive her as magnetically beautiful—which does not help her in her village. A young local lord saves her, but it soon becomes apparent that Coddie's destiny may be far greater than anyone ever imagined. Caustic and flamboyant, this fairy tale offers grownups an engrossing take on the nature of beauty.

The Bug Girl: A True Story Feb 11, 2020

by Sophia Spencer, Margaret McNamara, Kerascoët

( 288 )

$10.99

Real-life 7-year-old Sophia Spencer was bullied for loving bugs until hundreds of women scientists rallied around her. Now Sophie tells her inspiring story in this picture book that celebrates women in science, bugs of all kinds, and the importance of staying true to yourself. Makes a perfect gift for nature lovers on Earth Day and every day!

Sophia Spencer has loved bugs ever since a butterfly landed on her shoulder--and wouldn't leave!--at a butterfly conservancy when she was only two-and-a-half years old. In preschool and kindergarten, Sophia was thrilled to share what she knew about grasshoppers (her very favorite insects), as well as ants and fireflies... but by first grade, not everyone shared her enthusiasm. Some students bullied her, and Sophia stopped talking about bugs altogether.

When Sophia's mother wrote to an entomological society looking for a bug scientist to be a pen pal for her daughter, she and Sophie were overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response--letters, photos, and videos came flooding in. Using the hashtag BugsR4Girls, scientists tweeted hundreds of times to tell Sophia to keep up her interest in bugs--and it worked! Sophia has since appeared on Good Morning America, The Today Show, and NPR, and she continues to share her love of bugs with others.

Au coeur du Pakistan, une toute jeune fille prénomée Malala rêve d'avoir un crayon magique qu'elle utiliserait pour... fermer la porte de sa chambre à clef et éviter que ses frères ne viennent l'embêter, arrêter le temps pour dormir une heure de plus tous les matins, effacer l'odeur des poubelles devant chez elle... Mais plus elle grandit, plus ses rêves évoluent. Car c'est avec un vrai stylo qu'on peut changer le monde : en apprenant à tous à lire et à écrire.

Plutôt que rêver seule dans sa chambre, Malala raconte son histoire et devient porte-parole et militante du droit des femmes.
