Jazz Age Josephine

release date: Jan 03, 2012
Jazz Age Josephine
A picture book biography that will inspire readers to dance to their own beats! Singer, dancer, actress, and independent dame, Josephine Baker felt life was a performance. She lived by her own rules and helped to shake up the status quo with wild costumes and a you-can’t-tell-me-no attitude that made her famous. She even had a pet leopard in Paris! From bestselling children’s biographer Jonah Winter and two-time Caldecott Honoree Marjorie Priceman comes a story of a woman the stage could barely contain. Rising from a poor, segregated upbringing, Josephine Baker was able to break through racial barriers with her own sense of flair and astonishing dance abilities. She was a pillar of steel with a heart of gold—all wrapped up in feathers, sequins, and an infectious rhythm.

But Picasso didn''t listen to all those people, and kept on working the way he wanted to work, until he created something so different... that people didn''t know what to say! Pablo Picasso puede ser uno de los pintores mas famosos del siglo XX, pero eso no quiere decir que el siempre pinto las cosas que los demas querian que pintara. De hecho, algunas personas detestaban sus pinturas. Pero a Picasso no le importaba la opinion de esas personas y se mantuvo pintando lo que el queria hasta llegar a pintar algo tan diferente que la gente no supo que decir. "

Mohamed Ali champion du monde
Un jour, un nouveau venu, fringant et bondissant, fit irruption dans le royaume de la boxe. Il s''appelait Cassius Clay et claironna d''emblée : « Je serai le plus grand de tous les temps ! » Tandis que d''autres boxeurs grognent et s''épuisent sur le ring, Cassius Clay, lui, s''enflamme, danse et combat jusqu''à ce que le monde entier parle de lui. Fier de ses racines africaines et de sa religion, l''islam, il se fait appeler Mohamed Ali. Plus qu''un boxeur, il est un porte-parole, un militant, un espoir pour les Afro-américains. Refusant de faire la guerre, luttant pour faire valoir ses droits, il devient une voix que personne ne pourra oublier. Jonah Winter nous raconte ici, avec fougue et admiration, le chemin de Mohamed Ali vers la gloire, ses rêves, ses combats, ses victoires. Un récit fort, rythmé par les illustrations stupéfiantes de François Roca, qui séduira les lecteurs toujours en quête de champions et de héros aux parcours exceptionnels. centerTous publics

To become the first female Jewish Supreme Court Justice, the unsinkable Ruth Bader Ginsburg had to overcome countless injustices. Growing up in Brooklyn in the 1930s and ''40s, Ginsburg was discouraged from working by her father, who thought a woman''s place was in the home. Regardless, she went to Cornell University, where men outnumbered women four to one. There, she met her husband, Martin Ginsburg, and found her calling as a lawyer. Despite discrimination against Jews, females, and working mothers, Ginsburg went on to become Columbia Law School''s first tenured female professor, a judge for the US Court of Appeals, and finally, a Supreme Court Justice. Structured as a court case in which the reader is presented with evidence of the injustice that Ginsburg faced, Ruth Bader Ginsburg is the true story of how one of America''s most "notorious" women bravely persevered to become the remarkable symbol of justice she is today.
