Paperback. Condición: new. Hyde, Maureen Ilustrador. Paperback. An exquisite work that imagines a moment from the boyhood of St. Francis of Assisi. The publication of Maureen Hydes paintings here amounts to a cause celebre. While she has illustrated many beautiful books in decades past (including Gingerbread Houses three launch titles, Grandpa Loved, Grandmas Scrapbook, and Shh! The Whale Is Smiling), and many picture books and young adult novel covers for Simon & Schuster, Viking, Green Tiger Press, and Atheneum, this marks the artist's first book in twenty-five years. Her work in this volume derives power from years of studying in the USA and abroad, and from her efforts--first as a student and then a teacher--at The Florence Academy of Art in Italy. Even though Maureen employs the materials and techniques of the Old Masters, and draws inspiration from their ethic, one finds no hint of derivation in her compositions. Ms. Hyde's work has been exhibited in significant shows around the world, and is represented in many important private collections. The paintings for this volume have been acquired by a revered school in Switzerland. Focuses on Saint Francis of Assisi's early life - the patron saint of animals and the environment. This title tells the story of Saint Francis as a boy as he communes with nature and treats even the fiercest of animals - a hungry wolf - with the same compassion he would show his grandmother. It is suitable for ages 5 to 7 years. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: new. Ziborova, Dasha Ilustrador. Paperback. Set in the Bronx during the 1950s, when postwar immigrant children were placed in their first American classrooms, this delightful story tells of the riotous linguistic misunderstandings of Josephine's first day of school.

The result is a charming tale of adventures and multicultural miscommunications as Josephine attempts to make herself understood. Children will come to understand that sometimes people underestimate the talents and dignity of newcomers to the United States and will embark on a poignant journey as Josephine tells her incredible story the best way she knows how and attempts to understand her English-speaking teacher and classmates.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Schulenderfritz, Theodore Ilustrador. Hardcover. Here is a Christian allegorical story that treats of superlatives. The richest man in the world, with the most varied and treasured art collection in existence, begets the most wonderful son who, like himself, loves and appreciates every creation they possess. They relish entering the very worlds of their seascapes, landscapes, cityscapes and even abstract forms, but, most of al, they cherish their portraits, sharing in the very lives of their subjects. Under the fathers solicitous eye, and with their motherly estate keepers assistance, the exceptional son grows in wisdom and stature, extending his wealth to whomever wants it. What becomes of this son? And what later becomes of the treasures when the father decides to offer his immensely vast collection at auction? What superlative will be the most superlative of all? The man who wins the auction for the Portrait of the Son is in for the surprise of his life, and the would-be bidders witness a miracle of conversion.
