Loujain Dreams of Sunflowers by Uma Mishra-Newbery,Lina Al-Hathloul Pdf

"Poetic, moving, and empowering.” - Kirkus Reviews “Successfully makes a real-life issue accessible for the youngest audiences.” - Publishers Weekly A courageous girl follows her dream of learning to fly in this beautifully illustrated story inspired by formerly imprisoned human rights activist Loujain AlHathloul, perfect for Malala’s Magic Pencil fans. Loujain watches her beloved baba attach his feather wings and fly each morning, but her own dreams of flying face a big obstacle: only boys, not girls, are allowed to fly in her country. Yet despite the taunts of her classmates, she is determined to do it—especially because Loujain loves colors, and only by flying can she see the color-filled field of sunflowers her baba has told her about. Eventually, he agrees to teach her, and Loujain's impossible dream becomes reality—and soon other girls dare to learn to fly. Based on the experiences of co-author Lina AlHathloul's sister, Nobel Peace Prize nominee Loujain AlHathloul, who led the successful campaign to lift Saudi Arabia's ban on women driving, this moving and gorgeously illustrated story reminds us to strive for the changes we want to see—and to never take for granted women's and girls' freedoms.

Sunflowers by Stephen A. Harris Pdf

From iconic paintings by Vincent van Gogh to their much-spat seeds at baseball games, the massive, golden blossoms of sunflowers have become a part of our literary and visual cultures and daily lives, inspiring artists and poets and used by advertisers to promote countless products. But sunflowers are only the most recognizable members of the world’s largest family of plants, Asteraceae, which includes lettuce, chrysanthemums, asters, dahlias, and weeds. And in this book, Stephen A. Harris unearths the extraordinary history of this entire sunflower bouquet. Unraveling the interplay between human cultures and the biology of these spectacular blooms over the last six thousand years, Sunflowers explores our persistent fascination with this family and how our uses of the plants have changed over millennia. Found in almost all habitats, from the driest deserts and tallest mountains to grasslands and urban wastelands, the sunflower family includes more than 32,000 species. It produces hugely popular and economically valuable ornamental flowers, as well as familiar flavorings such as tarragon and artemesia, and its members are also used in the production of antimalarial drugs, artificial sweeteners, insecticide, and fish poisons. Illustrated with many rarely seen images of the sunflower family, this beautiful volume sheds surprising new light on these familiar, sunniest of flowers.

Sunflowers by Sheramy Bundrick Pdf

Sheramy Bundrick’s Sunflowers is the beautiful tale of a young French prostitute’s passionate, doomed relationship with troubled artist Vincent van Gogh. July 1888, Arlens, France. Seeking refuge from the pressure of Paris society and new visual inspiration for his paintings, Vincent van Gogh meets the perfect subject in Rachel Courteau. Reborn with creative vitality, the painter produces works at a feverish pace, keeping the darkness threatening to consume him at bay. Rachel, burdened with the shame of being the village pariah, finds solace in van Gogh’s company as she brings joy into his life. Their growing friendship blossoms into love but she is unsure whether she—or their love—is strong enough to save his tortured soul. “Lays bare in rich, compelling scenes the mystery of the turbulent and misunderstood final two years in van Gogh’s life.” —New York Times bestselling author Susan Vreeland “Conjures a poignant but ill-fated romance. . . . Fans of Girl With a Pearl Earring, take note.” —USA Today “While infusing well-known historical moments (like van Gogh’s infamous self-mutilation) with vivid details, humanizing van Gogh and putting his famous works in context, Bundrick generates an impressive volume of suspense, delight and heartbreak.” —Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
