DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The first picture book that the award-winning Sydney Smith has both written and illustrated is a story about feeling small in the city — and finding your way home. On a snowy day in a big city, a little boy hops off a streetcar and walks through downtown, between office buildings, through parks and down busy streets. Along the way, he provides helpful tips about which alleys make good shortcuts, which trees to climb and where to find a friendly face. All the while, the boy searches for what he has lost ... The first book that award-winning illustrator Sydney Smith has written tells a story of what it means to get lost in the city, travel the wrong path and get caught in bad weather — and to ultimately find your way back home. His beautiful watercolour illustrations alternate between full spreads and small panels, evoking the sometimes overwhelming cacophony of urban sights and sounds, as well as the quiet moments that make all of us feel less small in the city.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Sydney Taylor Award Winner A girl's kindness to a mysterious magician leads to a Passover miracle. Beautifully illustrated and deftly told, this story full of hope, tradition-- and just a touch of magic-- is a new Passover classic in the making. It's the Spring of 1933 in Washington D.C., and the Great Depression is hitting young Muriel's family hard. Her father has lost his job and her family barely has enough food most days-- let alone for a Passover Seder. They don't even have any wine to leave out for the prophet Elijah's ceremonial cup. With no feast to rush home to, Muriel wanders by the Lincoln Memorial, where she encounters a mysterious magician in whose hands juggled eggs become lit candles. After she makes a kind gesture, he encourages her to run home for her Seder, and when she does, she encounters a holiday miracle: a bountiful feast of brisket, soup, and matzah, enough for their whole community to share. But who was this mysterious benefactor? When Muriel sees Elijah's cup is empty, she has a good idea. Sean Rubin's finely-detailed, historically-accurate illustrations, with a color pallete inspired by Marc Chagall, bring a strong sense of setting to this fresh retelling of the I.L. Peretz story best known through Uri Shulevitz's 1973 adaptation The Magician. A perfect gift for those celebrating Passover, or to introduce the holiday traditions to young readers, The Passover Guest is sure to enchant readers of all ages. Brief essays at the end of the story detail author Susan Kusel's inspiration for this retelling, artist Sean Rubin's influences and research, and introduce the traditions associated with Passover celebrations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The relaxed morality of Bourbon Street in the 1990's is the backdrop for her story. A homecoming of sorts for this bohemian beauty with the mouth of a longshoreman. Embraced by the lifestyle of the French Quarter, she fit in as if she had always been there. No longer a need to accommodate the norm, she could blossom..Armed with street wisdom and quick wit, she was able to explore different avenues of expression. The fulfillment of unspoken desire was at her threshold. Tattooing her soul. Leaving a residual effect. WHAT THEY'RE SAYING: It is in more than one way very different from what one expects from a romance. It has much more depth in the characters and their interactions. A very mature book with an intense story.I love this book of yours. Been thinking about your characters all day.Started your book yesterday afternoon and couldn't stop reading til around 11PM. I'm usually lights out by 9:30/10. Such great character development.I felt like I was back in New Orleans. A rollercoaster ride of a story. VERY STEAMY.Porter spins a superb tale by weaving seemingly unrelated stories and events and allows each to cone together by use of sharp dialog along with vivid and sometimes graphic descriptions.
