A magical medieval tale from two masters, Newbery Medal-winning Kate DiCamillo and Caldecott Medal-winning Sophie Blackall - a fantastical meditation on fate, love and the power of words to spell the world. We shall all, in the end, be led to where we belong. We shall all, in the end, find our way home. In a time of war, a mysterious child appears at the monastery of the Order of the Chronicles of Sorrowing. Gentle Brother Edik finds the girl, Beatryce, curled in a stall, wracked with fever, coated in dirt and blood and holding fast to the ear of Answelica the recalcitrant goat. As the monk nurses Beatryce to health, he uncovers her dangerous secret - one that imperils them all. And so it is that a girl with a head full of stories must venture into a dark wood in search of the castle of a king who wishes her dead. But should she lose her way, Beatryce knows that those who love her - a wild-eyed monk, a man who had once been king, a boy with a terrible sword and a goat with a head as hard as stone - will never give up searching for her. And to know this is to know everything.; 256 pages; Published: 05/05/2022

Während sich draussen die Wellen brechen und sich das Wetter und die Jahreszeiten kontinuierlich verändern, geht der Leuchtturmwärter gewissenhaft seinen vielen Aufgaben nach: Erst wenn das Öl nachgefüllt, die Linse poliert und der Docht gekürzt ist, kocht er sich sein einsames Abendessen. Dann endlich kommt der Tag, an dem seine Frau zu ihm in den Leuchtturm zieht. Bald gibt es noch weitere Veränderungen – manche freudig, andere weniger. Denn obwohl der Leuchtturm für die Ewigkeit gebaut wurde, geht die Zeit doch nicht spurlos an ihm vorüber. Ihre eigene Faszination für Leuchttürme inspirierte Sophie Blackall zu diesem Buch. Akribisch recherchiert und mit einem Sinn für subtile Stimmungen lässt die zweimalige Gewinnerin der Caldecott Medal ein vergangenes Kapitel der Seefahrt aufleben. Völlig organisch fügt sich der Text in die mit Tusche und Wasserfarbe gemalten Bilder ein, sodass ein atemberaubendes Gesamtkunstwerk entsteht.

by Ann E. Burg (Author), Sophie Blackall (Illustrator) A beautiful and hopeful story of how a young impassioned naturalist grows up to change the world. For everyone who cares about our fragile planet. "An absolute joy to read." --Book Riot "Gracefully written...pleasing to the eye and ear." --Kirkus Reviews Rachel was a girl who loved science and the sea, books and writing and all the creatures of the world. Rachel was quiet, a listener by nature. But when she saw problems, she could not remain silent. Some people thought girls shouldn't be scientists. They thought girls shouldn't use their voices to question or challenge, even to protect all the creatures of the world. Luckily Rachel didn't listen to them. Author Biography Ann Burg's debut novel, All the Broken Pieces, was named an ALA Best Book for Young Adults, a Jefferson Cup award winner and an IRA Notable Book for a Global Society, among its many honors. All of her subsequent novels in verse have garnered multiple awards and starred reviews. Serafina's Promise was named an ALA Notable, a Parents' Choice Gold Award Winner, and an NAACP Image Award finalist. Unbound was the winner of the New-York Historical Society Children's History Book Prize, the Christopher Award, and an Arnold Adoff Poetry Honor. Flooded was a Bank Street College Claudia Lewis Award winner, a Bank Street College Best Children's Book (with outstanding merit), and a Junior Library Guild selection. Burg worked as an English teacher for ten years before becoming a full-time writer. She lives in Rhinebeck, New York, with her family. Visit her online at annburg.com. Sophie Blackall found inspiration for her drawings in Rachel Carson's writing and in her deep love for the natural world. "The ripples of Rachel's work affect us still, encircling us, reminding us more than ever that we are all connected." Sophie has illustrated over fifty books for children, including the New York Times bestselling Ivy and Bean series by Annie Barrows and the Caldecott Medal winners Finding Winnie by Lindsay Mattick and her own Hello Lighthouse.

Quinn schreibt einen Brief. Aber nicht an irgendwen, sondern an einen Ausserirdischen, den er gründlich auf einen ersten Erdenbesuch vorbereiten möchte. Er beschreibt unter anderem die physischen Beschaffenheiten auf der Erde, unsere sehr unterschiedlichen Familienformen, Arten menschlicher Konflikte sowie die Tierwelt oder Musikinstrumente. Am Ende steht eines fest: Der Planet, auf dem wir leben und den wir uns alle teilen, ist ein faszinierender Ort. Und wenn das Wesen aus dem All dann zu Besuch kommt, kann es bei Quinn im Zimmer schlafen. Inspiriert von Begegnungen mit Kindern auf der ganzen Welt hat Sophie Blackall diese wunderbare Anleitung geschrieben, die unsere Welt in all ihrer Vielfalt erklärt. Mit detailreichen Doppelseiten und kräftigen Farben nimmt sie uns mit auf eine faszinierende Reise.
