Summary: Two series of double pages enumerate in turn five activities traditionally associated with girls and boys. On the pages on the left, there are photographs of girls playing with dolls, dancing or jumping rope, and boys playing soccer, playing with carts or simulating war. In contrast, the staged ideas received are supported by a provocative sentence written in capital letters on a bright flap: "The boys do not play at the dinner" or "Girls is not handyman". These affirmations are fortunately contradicted by the uprising of large flaps which reveal new photographs respectively staging, in the cases cited above, a man feeding his child and a woman working in the construction.

53 pages : colour illustrations ; 31 cm.
ISBN: 9781925652994; 1925652998
Summary: What if Beauty stood up to the Beast, the Princess never tried to sleep on the pea (and wouldn't have noticed it if she had), and the Swan Maiden took her revenge on the hunter who kidnapped her? The Adventurous Princess and other feminist fairy tales is a retelling of nine traditional fairy tales with a feminist twist. Fairy tales open up new worlds full of enchantment and adventure, but many of these traditional stories also reinforce rigid gender roles and norms, perpetuate stereotypes, and lack diversity in their characters. In The Adventurous Princess, the charm, whimsy, and magic of traditional fairy tales remain, but the diverse characters challenge stereotypes about who they should be or how they should act, stand up for themselves, and shape their own futures.

Families around the world

Language: English
Toronto: Kids Can Press, 2014. ©2014
40 pages : illustrations en couleur ; 31 cm.
ISBN: 9781894786577; 1894786572
Summary: "A successor to the popular Children Around the World written and illustrated by Donata Montanari, this book allows young readers to visit with fourteen children, each from a different country, to learn about their families. Based on real children, each one's story fills a two-page spread and is told in the first person, beginning with a greeting in the child's native language. From Ryan, who lives on a Texas cattle farm, to Nkoitoi, who tends the family goat in Kenya, to Baatar, who moves regularly with his nomadic family in Mongolia, there is a vast range of homes, locations, customs and activities presented here, all of it enthusiastically illustrated with bright colors and vivid detail by illustrator Jessica Rae Gordon. There is variety in the heads of the families as well: a single parent, multiracial parents and same-sex parents are all represented. For all the children's different experiences, however, it is clear how much their lives have in common with one another, and likely with the book's readers. The love they have for their family members, the joy they find in play and the beauty they see around them wherever they live are experiences that cross borders. This is a wonderful, uplifting global studies title perfect for exploring cultures and geography. It would also be useful for a social studies unit on families and family relationships. Adding to its value as a teaching tool are suggestions for lesson plans built around the book, as well as a glossary and pronunciation guide for foreign words."--Résumé de l'éditeur.
