A NEW YORK TIMES INSTANT BESTSELLER!A USA TODAY BESTSELLER!
This beautifully illustrated New York Times bestseller introduces readers of all ages to 40 women who changed the world.
An important book for all ages, Little Leaders educates and inspires as it relates true stories of forty trailblazing black women in American history.

Among these biographies, readers will find heroes, role models, and everyday women who did extraordinary things - bold women whose actions and beliefs contributed to making the world better for generations of girls and women to come. Whether they were putting pen to paper, soaring through the air or speaking up for the rights of others, the women profiled in these pages were all taking a stand against a world that didn't always accept them.


The leaders in this book may be little, but they all did something big and amazing, inspiring generations to come.

The other side of town

Jon Agee
Michael Di Capua Books - Scholastic

Jon Agee at his best--goofy story, bravura pictures!

In the middle of busy New York City, a cabdriver picks up a tiny guy in a goofy suit who wants to go to the other side of town. The other side of town, it turns out, is not in Brooklyn or Queens. It's a zany, pink-and-green world where things look very familiar but are completely different.

Now, it's one thing to go there, but how on earth do you ever get back?

Il libro condensato dei gatti tuttofare

Andrea Rauch
Edizioni Nuages

Il libro condensato dei gatti tuttofare ha un illustre riferimento, il libro di Thomas Stearn Eliot Old Possum's Book of practical Cats, che dette origine anche alla celeberrima versione teatrale di Cats. Ma il libro di Rauch è, appunto, 'condensato' e per questo le vite di quei gatti illustri (SandoCane, Gatton Manolesta, Maicontento, Mefisto...) sono state ridotte a filastrocche brevi e sapide che raccontano storie, sensazioni, tutte legate tra loro, oltre che dai disegni, da quello che anche Eliot riconosce come grande prerogativa dei gatti: la ricerca di un nome segreto che li identifichi e dia loro personalità e carattere.
