![]() ![]() The mothers of Beyond Tears offer reassurance that the clouds of grief do lessen with time and that grieving parents will find a way to live, and even laugh again.

The death of a child is that unimaginable loss no parent ever expects to face. This revised edition includes a new chapter written from the perspective of surviving siblings. Meant to comfort and give direction to bereaved parents, Beyond Tears is written by nine mothers who have each lost a child. ![]()

![]() With the open portfolio, pictures-within-the-picture, and mirror (reflecting a mundane coal stove), this work of 1888 presents an elaborate play on the relationship between art and reality. ![]() Although the painter in the picture is a woman, the setting is thought to be Stevens’s own studio, which was admired for its stylish arrangement of his collections of exotic and luxurious objects. On the easel is Stevens’s Salomé (1888 Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique, Brussels), a freely interpreted version of the painting by Henri Regnault that was the sensation of the 1870 Salon (The Met, 16.95). An artist and her model take a break from a painting session to welcome a visitor to the studio-another woman, dressed in street clothes. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can always contact us for any return/refund question at and issues In some very rare cases we will allow an order to be cancelled, however there will be a minimum 15% administration fee on the cancellation of your purchase(s).

HOWEVER, my 8 year old cat-loving daughter was screaming upset to her very soul when, in book 2, the heroes came upon the goblin camp and found them roasting something on a spit "that looked like a cat".and then the drawing on the next page shows just that! I pre-read and skimmed over alot of the rest of that chapter, because she loves it otherwise, but i think i'm going to cover the cat on a spit with a well-placed drop of ink (it's a picture of a forest, with cages up in trees, and way down below is the camp of goblins and their fire.small cat but identifiable). My older kids loved the story, read them all one summer a few years ago when my boys were 8 and 12. ![]() ![]() ![]() On one side he is helping his friend, Roderigo to woo Desdemona away from her husband, but he pretends to also be on the side of Othello. He seems to be a psychopath who likes playing both sides of the fence. Iago’s intentions are rather hard to understand in this plot. So amazing that he wood Desdemona and even married her. Othello was a celebrated army veteran who had amazing stories to tell. The two tales, both the play by Shakespeare and the novel by Cinthio are based on the main character “Othello” and his unfaithful Ensign, Iago. ![]() We get to understand their specific roles in the story (Werstine 57). Through the play, we get to learn plenty about the main characters. The tale is one filled with several twists and turns. Cinthio was an avid follower of Boccaccio. It is a story that was adapted from a book known as “Un Capitano Moro” which was written by Cinthio. Othello is a play written by William Shakespeare in the year 1603. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Island of Sea Women revolves around the friendship-sisterhood of two women, Young-sook and Mi-ja, who grew up together in Hado on Jeju Island. ![]() The author, Lisa See, is American with Chinese roots (among others) and has written a number of historical novels based in East Asia and Los Angeles’ Chinatown where she grew up. It also made me aware of the strategic importance Jeju Island has held through history as a “stepping stone”, as the author puts it, to other major states, including China, Japan, the USSR. ![]() Reading The Island of Sea Women transformed my perception of Jeju. I pictured it as a small, sun-soaked island with beautiful beaches and blue seas. I’m not particularly familiar with Korean history and geography, although more so than I was when I read Pachinko by Min Jin Lee, but I have heard of Jeju Island, off the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula, as a tourist destination. ![]() ![]() ![]() He sets his sights high and finally learns how to juggle not three balls, but five mandarins. ![]() ![]() When Pip's English teacher challenges her students to learn how to juggle three balls, Pip is determined that he will do better than that. ![]() Pip is good at English, like his mother but Pip's father wants him to be a soccer star like Nick, Pip's brother, and to win at any cost.
