Julián Is a Mermaid by Jessica Love Pdf

In an exuberant picture book, a glimpse of costumed mermaids leaves one boy flooded with wonder and ready to dazzle the world. While riding the subway home from the pool with his abuela one day, Julián notices three women spectacularly dressed up. Their hair billows in brilliant hues, their dresses end in fishtails, and their joy fills the train car. When Julián gets home, daydreaming of the magic he’s seen, all he can think about is dressing up just like the ladies in his own fabulous mermaid costume: a butter-yellow curtain for his tail, the fronds of a potted fern for his headdress. But what will Abuela think about the mess he makes — and even more importantly, what will she think about how Julián sees himself? Mesmerizing and full of heart, Jessica Love’s author-illustrator debut is a jubilant picture of self-love and a radiant celebration of individuality.

Mythical Creatures and Magical Beasts by Zayden Stone Pdf

What made Athena furious with a local weaver that she transformed her into Greek mythology's first spider woman, Arachne? What is the tall tale behind Filipino folklore's sea serpent Bakunawa, who flies through the night skies devouring moons? What is the symbolism behind French folktale's infamous night rider, Cheval Mallet? We have all been exposed to a mythological beast in one form or another. Whether it is the three headed guard dog Fluffy in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, or even the story of Smaug in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth in The Hobbit; all these pop culture mythical creatures have a deep connection to the mythologies and folktales of ancient cultures. Where did they come from? What relevance do they serve in mythology? Why are some so obscure, while others become pop-culture enigmas? Get the answer to these questions, and learn about beasts from different world cultures. Folklorist Zayden Stone dives deep into the stories of these magical beasts and provides a fictional anecdote, a retelling of the original myths, an analysis of the symbolism and relevance of the creatures, and then pairs it with some beautiful black and white illustrations reimagined by artist Herdhian. In the Mythical Creatures and Mythological Beasts book, the illustrated guide takes you through six themes that have been specifically chosen since they are consistent across cultures. The categories include: arthropods for insects, crustaceans, and arachnids; avian for birds; canines for wolves and dogs; serpents for snakes and dragons; ungulates for hooved animals like horses and cows; and aquatic for water dwelling beasts. Presenting the creatures in categories makes it easier to see what the beasts have in common. You will find some overlapping themes across ancient cultures that point to universal ideas in how humans perceive the world. If you wonder where your favorite creature is, you will probably find them within these pages, even if they do not have their own chapter. For example, the ever-popular Pegasus can be found in the tale of the Gorgon sisters. He also had a half-brother, Arion, who features in the ungulates section. There is also a brilliant white-winged horse from Islamic tradition which may sound very familiar to Pegasus as well. If you have a love for the myths and want to learn about the unique beasts that dwell within them, this book is a great way to do it. Not only will you learn about ones you may have never heard of, but you will also be able to draw parallels between cultures and see how they interpreted their surroundings through stories of mythical creatures and magical beasts.

Creature, Creator and Creation by Hugh Maxwell Pdf

Life is your faithful servant, but if not subdued it can become a terrible master. It all depends on whether you're being a creature of creation, or if you are only reacting to creation. One creates an ideal desire, while the other perpetuates unwanted life events. This book will interpret the story of creation, which is the life changing truth for all.The beginning you read about was only a development and was not necessarily a commencement. It was the beginning of time and the creation of matter; but it wasn't the origin of life. What we call the Big bang was just a life changing event, from which mankind now seeks redemption. Creation is a replicable process, that is being performed by you in ways you're not even aware of. Inside these chapters, you will discover the answer to many of life's questions, including those of life itself. Some have the knowledge while others have the understanding; both are the forebearer of wisdom.The YouManual is a metaphysical arbiter, a non-fictional series of books to help you better understand your own Being. It is believed that if you can master yourself, you can create your own destiny. Why allow your future to be determined by fate, leave nothing to chance. You have everything you will ever need present inside you to create, because you too are a creator.The thoughts presented are reflective of the scriptures, not as physical actions but your own mental states; but remains aligned with its motivated purpose. To have knowledge of what is, what was and what will be; will allow you to better understand the visible world and the world that is not yet made visible. We can only comprehend within the limits of our thoughts, and discuss amidst what the adequacy of our language permits. But your ability to perceive doesn't determine all that is, and this will open your mind and excite your body. Knowledge is infinite, what you know to be true is only true to the extent of the knowledge that you have. What you now know may be right, but what you don't know about it could also make it wrong. What good is having knowledge if you lack the understanding of what it is, and what value is it to understand if you don't have the knowledge to know what it means. To have both is wisdom, and in that is the truth that will set you free.

Double Feature Creature Attack by Tom Weaver Pdf

This whopping big McFarland Classic brings together 43 interviews with horror and science fiction movie writers, producers, directors and the men and women who saved the planet from aliens, behemoths, robots, zombies, and other sinister, stumbling threats--in the movies, at least. The interviewees reminisce about some of their great (and not so great!) films and tell their stories. This classic volume represents the union of two previous volumes: 1994's Attack of the Monster Movie Makers ("anecdotes are frank and revealing"--Video Watchdog); and 1995's They Fought in the Creature Features ("a fun book for all SF film enthusiasts"--Interzone). Together at last, this combined collection of interviews offers a candid and delightful perspective on the movies that still make audiences howl and squeal (though fear has long been replaced with sweet nostalgia).

Find Me as the Creature I Am by Emily Jungmin Yoon Pdf

From one of the sharpest up-and-coming voices in American poetry, a stunning collection that explores our most fundamental instincts, capacity for affection, and the ways we resemble the wild. Find Me as the Creature I Am is a book full of tenderness and violence, longing and love. Ranging from inherited family tales, to meditations on the body, to the ways animals display love and grief alike, Emily Jungmin Yoon holds a mirror up to humanity to show that we are animal, too. In poems full of wonder and want, she showcases our tendencies to fight or fly, act with affection and cruelty, and ultimately, overflow with life itself. “And when I say we are beasts, / is that a metaphor?” Yoon asks, exploring the ways we—like language, like any creature—stem from our surroundings. Braiding together reflections about the natural world, family heritage, and adoration, Yoon shows that what passes between us—body-to-body, generation-to-generation—is what defines a life. Deeply felt and beautifully crafted, Find Me as the Creature I Am is a rapturous collection by a rising star in the poetry landscape.
