This is a cute book about a little girl with two daddies. In simple rhyming text, a boy asks her which of her dads helps her do certain things, from building a tree house to helping with homework. Some things her Poppa does. Some things her Daddy does. Some things both dads do, and sometimes neither one does it because she does it on her own. The bright, humorous, cartoon-like pictures show us the little boy and the little girl talking, shifting to pictures of her doing activities with her dads. Like some cartoons, we never see the dads' faces, only their hands or from the chest-down. This gives an emphasis on the girl and her loving experiences with her fathers, without putting too much focus on the adult world of the two daddies. This book is a perfect way to deal with the idea of a kid who has to two parents of the same gender in an age appropriate manner. Kids can see through the eyes of the girl that her dads do many of the things other parents and guardians do. They help her, take care of her, and love her. This is the important thing for children to know. This could be used with K-2 (if the classroom atmosphere allows for such inclusion), along with other books that look at the experiences of kids who have various kinds of care-takers--especially in a positive light. This would also be a nice one to include in a family's home library. I highly recommend this book.

Reinventing Prosperity: Managing Economic Growth to Reduce Unemployment, Inequality and Climate Change Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

I loved this collection. Poetry can be a cherry-picking reading hobby, but Armantrout’s voice in Up to Speed is so consistent and sure that even the most far-flung scribble would feel essential to the compilation. The poems are sometimes dreamy and directionless, but each word is barbed with insight. She spreads words like bridge planks over a philosophical abyss, using only as many as necessary, teasing us with glimpses of both the nothingness and infinity traversed by language. Armountrout’s style is fresh and effectively surreal. She is a master of economy, conjuring nuanced emotion and observational depth with very few words. Instead of more traditional commas and periods, she relies on the quotation mark and the parentheses to create layers, rather than barriers or suggestions of pace. Taken with the ambiguity and the sparseness of the language, the precision and beauty of her poetry is mysteriously hard to account for, as if she were sewing intricate lace with a broken loom. Her strengths allow her to really shine in a single line when she wants to. It feels wrong to use these scraps out of context but a few of my favorites are: "a thought is a wish for relation doubling as a boundary," "the opposite of nothingness is direction," "in order to write you must fall in love with your own thought every time." Armantrout sets her sights on the basics, but she draws from a palette that is more philosophical than poetic: time, space, movement, relations between concepts, self-consciousness. She explores these subjects with such quiet confidence and wit that they somehow seem more illuminated in her compact poems than in any ancient Greek text. Relationships between things are treated with a playful and ingenious discernment, and gracefully recorded. At her very best, Armantrout proves that a crisp metaphor and a handful of very exact sentences is more effective than pages of erudition or a well-crafted essay. "light finds the quickest route and the mind tries to see patterns. what do these things have in common? they behave as if impatient." Like a magician she summons up images with a flick of the wrist, and saws our beautiful trusted things in half, smiling, showing us that all is an illusion. "i don't mind learning i'm in hell if i can learn it again and again."
