The back includes related resources and art & witnessing worksheets to copy. (Hardcover includes a Reading Guide and Community Project)This book is not a hero's tale or the journey of a brave fight. This book is for the in between moments, the middle of the night, the long afternoon: those moments when kids are haunted by what someone said to them in the hallway, a sideways stare at the store or what they heard on the news. It's about gathering strength for life's every day journey and supporting a strong full self all the time.Acclaimed artist and award-winning children's book artist and author Maya Gonzalez draws from over 40 years working with kids to provide a place for kids to land during tough times and counteract the impact of oppression with truth and creative power. The 3rd edition includes subtle changes to the art and text to focus on the kind of support our kids need in our current political/cultural environment as well as updated resources in the back.
Men of Steel
From the frigid heights of the Himalayas to the scorching deserts of the west and the humid wetlands in the east, India's borders mirror the nation's diversity. Amidst these rugged landscapes, Indian soldiers battle not only the enemy but also the unforgiving terrain. Within these pages, meet extraordinary heroes like Captain Neikezhakuo Kenguruse, Captain Keishing Clifford Nongrum, and Lance Naik Albert Ekka. Their valour, akin to that of Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, Naik Digendra Kumar and Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, forever serves as a guiding light, inspiring us with courage and resilience. Covering significant military events--the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, the Kargil War in 1999, the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, the Balakot airstrike, and the 2020 Galwan Valley skirmish--these eighteen warriors consistently placed their country above everything else. Recipients of numerous gallantry awards, their sacrifices and brave deeds resonate within the walls of the Indian Military Academy and echo in the hearts of the people of India.
