Follow the journey of the hen Mrs. Feathertop who suddenly hatches ducks, the squirrels that live in a house, and Mother Magpie as she gets into mischief. An entertaining, fun, and powerful book recommended for children, teenagers, and adults who love H.C. Andersen’s fairy tales and Beatrix Potter. The daughter of a Calvinist preacher, Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) was an American author and ardent abolitionist, whose most famous novel "Uncle Tom’s Cabin" became the fiercest attack on slavery at the time. Stowe’s influence reached much farther than literature, and marked politics and society, opening the world’s eyes to the horrors of slavery. Stowe also wrote travel memoirs, numerous articles, letters, and short stories.

A delightful collection of nine short stories, including Hen That Hatched Ducks, The Nutcrackers Of Nutcracker Lodge, The History Of Tip-Top, Miss Katy-Did And Miss Cricket, and Mother Magpie's Mischief.

In this beautiful children’s picture book by Vivek Shraya, author of the acclaimed God Loves Hair, a five-year-old South Asian boy becomes fascinated with his mother’s bindi, the red dot commonly worn by Hindu women to indicate the point at which creation begins, and wishes to have one of his own. Rather than chastise her son, she agrees to it, and teaches him about its cultural significance, allowing the boy to discover the magic of the bindi, which in turn gives him permission to be more fully himself. Beautifully illustrated by Rajni Perera, The Boy & the Bindi is a joyful celebration of gender and cultural difference. Ages 3 to 6.
