For a Girl Becoming
A baby girl is welcomed to the breathing world by generations of her family and set on the magnificent journey of becoming. As she grows, she is reminded of her connections to the natural world; to her family, her ancestors, her neighbors; to the source of all magic and sorrow--and of her responsibility to uphold and honor those connections.With US Poet Laureate Joy Harjo's transcendent verse and Pura Belpr矇 Award winner Adriana Garcia's monumental illustrations, For a Girl Becoming acts as a blessing and a harbinger for a young girl's life--and reminds those of us who still stand at the door of becoming that it is our relationships with nature and with each other that carry us through it.

Big Boy 4014 and the Steam Team
A picture book about the restoration of Big Boy 4014, the world's largest steam locomotive. In the 1940s, the ground rumbled as they thundered across the United States, 25 600-ton steam locomotives called Big Boys. These mammoth engines were built to pull trains transporting soldiers and freight, supporting the war effort. When less-expensive diesel-electric engines became popular, Big Boy engines were pulled from service, either to be scrapped or sent to museums and other venues as exhibits. Big Boy 4014 pulled her last train in 1959. She spent most of her retirement in California at an outdoor train museum. People came from around the world to visit, marveling at her size. But one day in 2013, a different group of visitors came to see Big Boy 4014. This group wondered what it would take to get her back on the tracks. May 9, 2019, would be the Golden Spike Celebration, the 150th anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad. Could Big Boy 4014 be restored in time for the celebration? Would she ever roll on the rails again? Readers of all ages are taken on a journey with Big Boy 4014, from stranded icon to restoration to the 150th Golden Spike anniversary, and then onto excursion tours. Back matter includes photos and additional facts about the Big Boys steam engines.

Normal Women
The bestselling, critically acclaimed new women's history book from Philippa Gregory for 2025 - adapted for teen and YA readers! Today, when we think of women of the past, we often think of the 1800s and 1900s - crinolines and stage coaches, bonnets and balls - a time when women were told they were naturally inferior to men, and must stay at home while men went out to work and have fun. HUGE MISTAKE! There is so much more to women's history than bonnets and big dresses! Ordinary women have been doing extraordinary things FOR EVER - it just didn't make the history books (written by men!).Join multi-award-winning author Philippa Gregory as she tells the story of ordinary English women, making history for 900 years. Meet farmers, highwaywomen, pirates, 'female husbands', slaves, soldiers, criminals, writers, inventors, rioters and more - protesting, working, playing, taking risks, getting rich (and getting even!). Their story is one of ingenuity, diversity, rebellion, survival - and sisterhood. Adapted by Philippa Gregory from her best-selling, critically acclaimed Normal Women. This edition for younger readers has simplified, age-tailored content, delivered in bitesize sections, and is illustrated throughout by award-winning printmaker Alexis Snell.

4b Og
Following 4B: Burn, Ban, Boycott, Build, Esme Mees returns with an essential examination of the movement's origins. This time, it's not just a strategy-it's a necessity. 4B OG: So No Go GYN takes us back to the radical roots of the South Korean 4B movement, where women rejected marriage, motherhood, and unpaid servitude to a system that never served them. Returning author Petra Nein joins Mees in this timely and urgent analysis of the dismantling of women's rights under the Reek Regime, where women's rights are not just being rolled back-they are being obliterated. They don't want to take us back to the 19th century. They are taking us back. Gilead will seem like a resort by the time they are done. The laws are tightening, surveillance is expanding, and oppression is becoming policy. Against this backdrop, 4B OG: So No Go GYN presents a clear case for withdrawal, refusal, and the creation of alternatives that do not rely on systems designed to control women. Accompanied by close-up black-and-white winter nature photography, this book offers both an intellectual and visual reflection on what it means to step away from a world that was never built for us. We are done. And we are never going back.
